Help, Please list fighters fighting out of the high guard

I will check out Román González, I haven’t watched too many of his fights If you're not biased against the small guys, he's a great one to learn from. One of the best high volume pressure fighters out there. His first two fights with Estrada each they combined for over 2000 punches. Both were fight of the year candidates easily. https://www.boxingscene.com/juan-francisco-estrada-chocolatito-gonzalez-rematch-compubox-punch-stats--156126 What's really impressive is that he's not just winging combos though. He's very high volume but still placing his shots in an educated way with good power. Fought Martinez, who was an undefeated champ at the time, and 8 years his junior, and absolutely demolished him. I was impressed with Martinez' chin at least, since Chocolatito landed over 50% of his power shots.

is that what you wrote on your grindr profile I have no idea what that is I am just trying to discuss some boxing

I was a wrestler all my life so my tendons and ligaments are kind of strong, and I have a pretty long reach ( my height is 184cm and my reach is 202cm ) so the high guard comes naturally for me And I am not the most agile guy in the world and I don’t like getting hit, so it’s perfect for me is that what you wrote on your grindr profile

The high guard takes away punching power imo not a lot of punchers use the high guard. Shortens the swing on counters. Also opponents can see punches comjng I was a wrestler all my life so my tendons and ligaments are kind of strong, and I have a pretty long reach ( my height is 184cm and my reach is 202cm ) so the high guard comes naturally for me And I am not the most agile guy in the world and I don’t like getting hit, so it’s perfect for me

My favorite was Joshua Clottey. If only he kept up a good punch output every round. Because he was hard to hit, hurt and his punches were accurate. Ask Cotto Clottey and Winky are the fighters I study the most I think

Winky Wright probably the best example. But modern fighters, you missed Canelo and Chocolatito. Surprised nobody has mentioned the latter. I will check out Román González, I haven’t watched too many of his fights

Glen Johnson is one who hasn't been mentioned. Forgot about Glen Johnson, the ultimate road warrior

There is a very big difference between an ordinary high guard and an ACTIVE high guard. The basic high guard boxer absorbs punches until the opponent has stopped punching and doesn't throw back. An active high guard boxer will catch, parry, slip, find positions to counter and often will use upper body movement. Canelo (now especially) is an example of the first style, Marlon Starling/Winky Wright where masters of the second.

Been doing research on the high guard, and the fighters that come to mind are Winky Wright Ike Quartey Eddie Chambers Bam Rodriguez Hitter Clottey Subriel Matias David Morrell jr Frank Martin and who else have I missed? The best fighters of the " Philly shell " or high guard fighters are fighters with short torso's and long arms. They cover up nicely. If the happen to have big arms, that is a bonus. - Dr. Z.

Bivol imo has the best high guard because it's paired with amazing footwork. he has the best defense in the sport.

Also Curtis Stevens had a very good catch and shoot from the high guard.

Today canelo and Benavidez have exceptional high guards though canelo does mix his up a bit when playing defense. BITD my favorite high guards were Bazooka Quartey and Ricardo Lopez

To me the style is very appealing and technical, and I have long arms and that’s the way I use to spar David Benavidez uses it very well and counters from it well also. Suits him perfectly.

The key to the high guard imo is having a consistent jab.

Just about every German fighter or fighter that fought out of Germany. Martin Murray, Felix Sturm, Robert Stieglitz, Arthur Abraham, Dominic Boesel etc Forgot about Felix Sturm, that high guard completely shut down Oscar de la Hoya
