    Lamont Peterson is better on the inside than Ward. Ward is better all around. Lamont in my opinion is probably the best inside fighter at this point.

    Mayweather only fought well in the pocket against slow weak fighters. Ever since losing the inside battle against Castillo he resorts to pot shotting and clinching.

    If you want to see what a defensive genius looks like fighting in the pocket Youtube Pernell Whitaker vs Jose Luis Ramirez or Julio Cesar Chavez vs Edwin Rosario.

    Robbery? Sh☆t.....Diaz did well....stayed competitive, but he came up short....no pun intended. Khan was a bit suspect with how the decision came about but that was a fight where Amir started strong and Lamont finished strong.A robbery is not a close competitive fight. The Peterson vs Garcia fight was more of a robbery than either of the two Peterson opponents you mentioned. You boys throw around the term robbery, loosely.

    I think Tim fights well on the inside when his pivot game is on. When its not he gets clipped
