Insane Floyd Patterson fight

[HeThaTruth]

A great thing to notice here is, neither man backing up. This is called inside fighting. You know? Two guys who want to win the PRIZE they are FIGHTING for instead of ducking, dodging and bouncing for twelve boring rounds to pick up an inflated paycheck to the dismay of a bored crowd. When they say, the art of inside fighting is lost, it's fights like this that build that argument.

As much as I love inside fighters the sport is called boxing which encompasses all fighting styles. It is irritating to see Rigo leave a wounded animal in the ring for the full twelve or Mayweather outbox everyone without taking risks but if you were a modern day gladiator you'd want to have as much control of the outcome as possible.

Nobody faults Ali for not fighting Foreman or Frazier head to head because the fighters who box on the outside generally do it out of necessity.
