Do some fighters willingly fight on the inside? Or is it only because they have to?

      Wow, you're such a butt hurt Flowmo.

      I said, and I quote, "Why would you fight on the inside if you don't have to?"

      And then you responded with a rant saying I said this, "no fighter in the history of boxing has fought on the inside without wanting to."

      You are a drama queen to the fullest.

        Of course, of course.

        It's not always a choice to fight on the inside.

        But sometimes, often the case with Pernell Whitaker, he could box you all night on the outside but willingly chose to go on the inside because he was comfortable there also.

        But of course, you know that, who doesn't know that?

        Better yet, who doesn't have the basic common sense to understand that?

        Someone who thinks an "Inside game" can take place on the outside, that's who.

Especially since it started with a conversation involving Pernell Whitaker, who both boxed outside and chose to fight inside in the biggest fight he was ever in. You don't even need to be that knowledgeable about Whitaker to know he actively chose to fight inside when it wasn't necessary.
          Your Flowmo ass was in the other thread and now you happen to be the 2nd post. Irondan probably PM'd you, cause he's a weird, weird little man.

            More athletic fighters can chose to fight on the inside or outside; usually slow prodding fighters usually have to fight on the inside. Take Paul Williams for instance look at him and think he would be a great outside fighter esp with his 82 inch reach but his reflexes wasn't great nor was his hand speed either which forced him to be a volume inside fighter.

              His point was that some boxers do want to fight on the inside. Its just as much a part of the sport as outside fighting.

              Go watch some James Toney... a 'boxer' who chooses to fight on the inside

                Oh, I said that did I?

                Please quote me saying that, if you will.

                I will give you 1 Trillion points if you quote me saying that.
