Regardless if he is not a great inside fighter, you have to take his power to get inside so yeah good luck trying to get inside anyway. Can he fight some inside? Sure but I don't think that is one of his best strengths. He likes to be the hunter, he likes to walk you down and get off with his Power. It will take a complete fighter to beat GGG, you have to be able to do a little bit of everything. Inside fighting alone won't beat him!

The best way to remind him to be defensively responsible is to match him against a puncher: Quillin, Jacobs, Lee, Lemieux. Tureano Johnson can punch a little and likes to fight on the inside, but he's clearly not on GGG's level. It would be an entertaining bout while it lasted, but IDK how good Johnson's chin is.

He is a mid range fighter like Lucas Matthysse who has the power to do well and have success on the inside but their strength is in the mid range where they can get more leverage and snap into their punches. Brandon Rios is an actual inside fighter who does his work throwing those close range uppercuts.
Willie Monroe post fight said he had success when he fought on the inside and also picked Canelo over GGG, but GGG over Cotto. I personally feel GGG beats anyone between 154-160.
