    Just to throw a name out, from what I remember of Michael Dokes, he was a very good infighter. Mainly due to the fact that he was very good at throwing to the body. He threw compact hooks to the body and worked his way back to the head. Even when he got the questionable stoppage victory over Weaver in their first bout, he did a great job of throwing to the body inside and working his way up to the head, ultimately catching Mike with a clean shot that put him down and hurt him.

      Prime Tyson was imo.

      Joe Frazier is the best, Joe Louis was good inside also.

        Not to get off topic lol
        well it is clear that fighters like Floyd & Toney find it much easier to fight fighters who are willing to lead to them so u could be right

        i suppose its when u fight an oponent who is much similar to yourself that u have more trouble dealing with ,thats why i think Toney lost to Griffin twice to similar fighters ,counter punchers who do not like Leading to thier oponent

        Griffin made Roy look bad for how many rounds doing exactly the same thing ,ownage in the 2nd fight though

                Jones spotted that every time he'd leap in with the left hook, Griffin would drop his hands as if to protect himself from a body shot and lean back so Jones just timed it and the rest is history.

                  one of my Favourite combinations that Roy threw was when his oponents were coming at him & he would throw an Uppercut & a Left Hook a bit like he did agaisnt Park Si Hun & Malinga , another great shot

                      the one two that dropped Reggie Johnson was lightening Quick u just cant live with that kind of speed ,how are u gonna close the range without getting hit with a fighter that is so quick at countering its untrue

                      Reggie Johnson spent the whole fight scared of letting his hands go cause he would leave to many openings for Roy
