who is the Best inside fighter ever in your own opinion

[Rkicards]

B. Hopkins (remember when he destroyed that typical english coward Eastman a few years back)

If you look at the fighters right now, it has to be Margarito. And what makes it impressive is that he is a rangy guy. Cotto, Diaz, Campbell and Hatton deserve some recognition too.

You mean when he run the second half of the fight just to avoid getting tagged and sporadically scoring with a left hook?

Duran or JCC

Julio Cesar Chavez.

Probably Roberto Duran.
Incredibly hard to shake once he got inside, where he went to work from all angles.
Might not of been pretty to watch, but was incredibly effective.
Check out the fight with Carlos Palomino for enlightenment.

Henry Armstrong is probably his main rival for the title.

Harry Greb from all accounts was one of the great inside fighters, but seeing how we're stuck with newspaper reports instead of fight films we'll never know.

JC Chavez deserves a mention - brutally effective on the inside.

Jeff Fenech is another that deserves a mention - probably even harder to shake than Duran once he got on the inside, & was utterly relentless once he got there.
Wasn't as smart as Duran though, & lacked punching power.

Jack Dempsey probably deserves a mention - an utterly brutal, smart, inside fighter with vicious punching power.
Unfortunately spent much of his prime doing second rate movies for Hollywood.

Jake La Motta is another name I'd chuck in the mix.
Not a nice guy, but frankly, any really good inside fighter is real b*stard in the ring.

I'd have to go with James toney he was able to fight on the inside from middle weight all the way up to heavyweight. of course at heavyweight he looked morbidly obese and had no real power but on the inside he can still hit without being hit...well maybe not now but he used to be able to 30 lbs ago.

if Joe Calzaghe went Toe to Toe with Marvin Hagler he would get beat up

Yeah, like duran did huh? Duran even backed hagler off on the inside. 40Cal's game is jabbing and fighting inside. I don't think he was the best inside fighter, but i can't knock a man for thinking that. You asked, they answered. Nobody questioned anyone picking chavez as a better inside fighter.

[shadeyfizzle]

Bruce Lee was the best inside fighter ever. Lol

Duran or JCC

Those are probably the top 2 for me also. I go with Duran. Nobody can forget what he did to sugar leonard, and i rooted for leonard. Leonard fought the wrong fight, and paid for it by fighting that way the whole fight. Henry Armstrong was a great inside fighter also.
