    Boxers who could fight on the inside

    Fighting on the inside seems to be a lost art these days, can anyone think of some guys who could do it?

            Taylor, I can agree with, not too sure about the other guys, what fights should I look up?

            I wish more boxers could do this, there would much more action and none of this holding as soon as they get too close to each other.

                He tends to hold, when his opponents gets up close to him, in the fights I've senn of his.

                    Just look at all of Mosely’s early fights before he went to welter that dude opened up on the inside reminiscent of Meldric Taylor.

                    Same goes’ for almost all of Chavez early fights, he always capitalized on closing the gap (distance) between fighters and almost worked exclusively from the inside before opening up to the head.

                    Tyson, need I say more? LOL
