Great fighters who couldn't fight on the inside

It would be almost impossible to be a mid-range fighter and not be able to fight on the inside to at least a decent degree. I'm not saying Pacquiao is a great inside fighter, he isn't, but this thread was about great fighters who couldn't fight on the inside. Pacquiao does not belong in this conversation. Agree to disagree. If you can provide a reference for your point, I'll keep an open mind. But I've never seen Pacquiao even attempt to be effective on the inside, other than relaxing his arms and making faces after a clinch.

So why did you mention Wlad if you don't think he is great. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/Paris_Tuileries_Garden_Facepalm_statue.jpg/300px-Paris_Tuileries_Garden_Facepalm_statue.jpg Because the clueless like you think he is.

Wlad (i wouldn't call him great) as soon as an opponent gets within 3 feet he grabs and doesn't let go until the ref breaks it. I don't thinks he's thrown a punch at close quarters in 5 years.

Mikey Garcia comes to mind. His response is hold or clinch and look at the referee. Refer to the Salido fight.

Pacquiao cannot fight well on the inside at all. What footage are you looking at? He's a midrange fighter only, but he's extremely effective at midrange. Inside / outside, forget about it.

So Pacquiao is good on the inside now? I'm thinking the same thing. Like, where do people come up with this stuff?

I knew it was coming, it was just a case of which floydiot was gonna step up.:rofl::rofl::rofl: So Pacquiao is good on the inside now?

Pacquiao can fight on the inside. He tends not to clinch fight. Fighting in a clinch is only one form of in fighting and that style is often prevented from even happening by lots of referees in most countries. American referees allow it consistently though. Ali must be the greatest fighter who couldn't really fight on the inside. Pacquiao cannot fight well on the inside at all. What footage are you looking at?

Martinez cant /if we are talking sergio then yeah he can. He ****ed Chavez up at his own game lol

Manny Pacquiao? I knew it was coming, it was just a case of which floydiot was gonna step up.:rofl::rofl::rofl:

ali? he had that float like a butterfly sting like a bee mentality...

Hearns was too tall and he needed full extension to really get power behind that right hand.

Manny Pacquiao?

Sergio isn't bad on the inside, we just rarely see him doing inside fighting because he's constantly moving and is very difficult to catch on the ropes. Sergio actually managed to fight Chavez Jr. off the ropes on several occasions, which is impressive considering Chavez probably outweighed him by at least 15 pounds.

Ok so sergio martinez was just good? Very good, but just good.

Khan not great but terrible on the inside.

Ok so sergio martinez was just good?

Kostya Tszyu?
