Go watch the third round (a round in which Peterson was knocked down in) to see just how effective of an inside fighter Peterson actually is. Bradley felt like he was in a position to finish the fight and stood his ground, and Peterson went to work and might have even hurt him with a body shot. Bradley himself commented that it forced him into incorporating more movement and sticking with that strategy, and Bradley has always been a damn good inside fighter.
Inside fighting at a world class level really isn't all that prominent, unfortunately - and that's why guys like Peterson tend to stick out. And his work on the inside is clean and precise rather than just ineffective, sloppy arm punches. Matthysse has never demonstrated that sort of ability at such close range, regardless of how underrated you feel his overall game is by some people.
And when did I make the assumption that you were fat or never trained?
