      the best pure defensive tactic on the insdide is generally to hold

      you're probably talking about an aggressor who makes his way inside who was defensively responsible, and in my opinion that's roberto duran. he also had an iron chin.
      he was cute while coming forward, but he did not always come forward.
      Yeah that what he meant but thanks for clarifying. for us

        duran and floyd--floyd has the most complex inside game in modern history...his counters were top notch--his ability to read your pivots while timing your movements were top notch---

        duran was the epitome of inside dominance--is ability to be aggressive while keeping you confused as to which duran you were going to get on the inside made him the best at getting inside and controlling the pace of those 18 to 25 seconds that were crucial to dictating each round---

        duran was a genius on he inside

              James Toney and Roberto Duran is about right

              Also Floyd Mayweather Sr inside defense against Ray Leonard was pretty impressive and gave Ray Leonard some serious problems

              B-Hop is/was very clever inside as well

                  Bending down to the floor without being called on was pretty genious but of course the Duvas had the refs bought

                      In their prime...Roberto Duran hands down! Nobody fought a phone booth fight with Duran...nobody! You had to fight inside and out to beat Duran in his prime.
