Who is the greatest Inside fighter of all time

you realy cant pick a best.duran armstrong basilio marciano chavez sr are just a few of many that excelled at that.

 

except for the steroids, still damn good inside fighter

 

Duran, Chavez, Armstrong.

 

who doesn't / didn't take them ? it barely counts if at all .

 

fair enough if that's what you think. don't think it help toney at all to be honest

 

all good picks, except bows, but how bout Dwight Braxton!!! Jimmy Young also good inside

 

Pedroza
Pea
Starling
Curry
Chang
Quite likely Duillio Loi and Eddie Perkins as well

Michael Watson and Winky Wright both very good without being flashy.same with most of the better Mexican boxer-punchers.

A fair few fighters with potentially top notch infighting technique that didn't bother to linger there much as well.McCallum, Lora, Gregory, Conteh, even Eubank at times though he sometimes fought pressuring fighters like the inside was hte last place he wanted to be.

 

Certainly for a tall heavyweight. Eddie Futch really sculpted a gem when he trained Bowe. What a waste of talent and skill.atsch

 

Inside fighting, like all boxing, is a combination of offense and defense.

Dempsey and Bowe had porous defense on the inside. I don't think either qualify.

 

any love for joe frazier?

Jack Dempsey ****ed people up on the inside

 

Amen to that. Watching a prime Toney stand in front of a guy and dissect him on the inside is one of the most beautiful thing we've seen in this sport (to my eye). Steroids aside, it is surprising to see how clean James has always been... for such a trash talker. That is why I pick him over a guy like Hopkins.

On steroids, I'm an idealist kind of guy and to me everyone are clean until proven otherwise... you can also call that supidity. I'll always enjoy rewatching old Toney fights, but he was proven guilty at one point and you won't see me try to excuse him. I want boxing to be clean and the least I can do about it is not support known cheaters.

 

Tough one. Joe Frazier was pretty good at in fighting. So was Tyson.

 

Tyson was not very good inside. He was good mid-range. Inside, he could get tied up easily or forced to tie up.

 

Yea.

Tyson was often the one doing the tying up. He wanted to rest inside.
