Boxers who could fight on the inside

[General Zod]

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.

Havent seen much of Mosley at LW, only his fights at WW and above, where he tends to hit and hold alot.

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.

Thanks for this ive only seen his fights with Pernell and Taylor

Tyson, need I say more? LOL

Good point

[Snopkins]

Hopkins at his peak didn't hold.He has spent the last few years holding because he is older and lazy.At his peak,Hopkins was a busy,consistent fighter who mixed his offense on both the inside and outside.




Mike Tyson was never an inside fighter.

What fights do you have in mind?

The Jesse Ferguson fight?

Hopkins at his peak is possibly the best inside fighter in the game has seen after JCC.

In recent times, the level of inside fighting is pathetic IMO. Castillo was excellent (wonder where he picked that up lol...). Mayweather showed absolute inside fighting excellence against Hatton.

Toney of course...

Vazquez gets hit too much to be comparable with the above, but his offensive inside game is excellent IMO. This is it for active fighters, I think.

Going back in time, well... Duran, Hagler, JC, Marciano, Moore, Charles, Saddler (and Pep too)... to name only a few. Inside fighitng seemed to be a more common art in the past.

I know I am forgetting someone important in both active and all time, but I am sleepy.

Hatton hits and holds, which isnt the same thing.
Mayweather? What fight do you have in mind?
Never heard of Rocky, is he an exciting fighter?

anything 97-03

The only fight of his I seen from that period is the Tito fight, can you recommend a particular fight?

['Sugar' Freddi]

Hopkins, in what fight?

Just watch some of his old fights, he was an amazing inside fighter but of course now he holds a little more because he got old but still a good inside fighter.
