    It's not a case of where guys are making a conscious decision to stand there like a statue while their face is rearranged.

    Getting inside a hard jab from a much taller man is an art in itself. It either requires excellent movement to slip the jab and get inside, something like Tyson or Frazier would do. Or a tight guard and excellent footwork where you can essentially limit the damage and quickly close in. Very difficult if its knocking you back but maybe possible for a very durable fighter. Or you can try something like what Haye would try, such as just trying to judge the distance and then leap in with rights over the top, fraught with danger of course.

    Nobody seems good enough to implement anything. That is the main problem, they physically have nothing in their locker to challenge that jab.
