How many fighters are better inside than Peterson?

James Toney, you know, since he hasn't officially retired yet LOL

How much juice was Petterson on last night?

Golovkin Younger Hopkins Bradley Mayweather Ward Beterbiev Roman Gonzalez Pederson kept coming vs khan working his way inside . He was on synthetic testosterone for that fight. Don't mean to take away from your thread bo but that's the truth. And he was 6-1 down after 7 vs Danny because he ran and didn't throw khan is possibly the worst inside fighter in all of boxing, being on synthetic testosterone certainly helped peterson win that fight but he sure as hell didnt need it to beat khan on the inside. even if he ran against danny that doesnt make him less of an inside fighter either, you seem to struggle with the point of this thread. golovkin isnt much of an inside fighter at all, he is at his best at mid range and very good at long range as well. the inside is his worst distance, he is highly average there. bradley isnt a great inside fighter either, he to operates much better at mid or long range. peterson is much better than bradley all the way inside. hopkins aint young no more, now is he? beterbiev? okey, you just dont know the difference between the inside and mid range. bet you think tyson was one of the best inside fighters ever, right? i havent seen enough of beterbiev to say he cant fight inside, but you sure as hell can't compare him to peterson at this stage as far as inside fighting skills are concerned. mayweather, ward and gonzalez are credible picks although i dont necessarily agree about them either. ward is excellent defensively inside but he has nowhere near the offense peterson does up close. neither does floyd at this stage of his career, he doesnt step around like he used to or put them together like he used to. he basically has great defense and a few great counters inside. its a close call between gonzalez and peterson, although yet again i would personally have to favor peterson.

Younger Bradley at 140 Ggg is strong, powerful. You saw Rubio try smothering him then he realised and then went on his bike. He's also very well versed in grappling Beterbiev KO'ed cloud on the inside. Generated extreme power. cloud to a vulnerable position on the inside holding one arm

Rios is a beast on the inside....Ward can beast you in there as well...I agree that Lamont is one of the best inside fighters in the sport....if he had started off like he finished I would give him the benefit of doubt...but he decided to audition for the NY City Marathon for the first half of the fight

I'd watch Rios vs. Peterson, as long as Peterson doesnt try his 'boxing' routine. I'd rather watch Guerrero vs Peterson

At 147, Rios and Guerrero I'd watch Rios vs. Peterson, as long as Peterson doesnt try his 'boxing' routine.

At 147, Rios and Guerrero

No way you can claim Beterbiev is better. Dude's never had an inside fight to prove it. I'd say the same about Golovkin, no one has ever sat in the trenches to let him display inside fighting like Peterson has. Totally agree about Peterson running and not throwing. If he takes it inside by the 5th or 6th instead of the 8th, he wins last night.

And he was 6-1 down after 7 vs Danny because he ran and didn't throw Hmm, im not sure about all these Jas: GGG maybe, but i see him as more mid-distance/pocket fighter. Younger Hopkins yes, currect Hopkins no. Bradley if i remember rightly got outfought on the inside against LP, but his versatility allowed him to switch up and outbox him. Mayweather and Ward are definitely better than LP. The two best in the sport imo. Beterbiev might prove to be better, but atm he just hasnt fought the opponents though. Gonzalez i see as a GGG type. Prefers the mid-range fighting in the pocket.

I don't know about rankings but when I think of good inside fighters I look at Mayweather Ward Maidana Hopkins Cotto Guerrero Rios Peterson That's off the top of my head. So I'm sure I missed a few.

I thought Matthysse beat him up when he tried to get in close. But yeah he's definitely a tough cookie on the inside, he gets great leverage on his shots, even if he isnt naturally the biggest puncher.
