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

Why do I get the feeling tim2daresq's time on here is going to be short?

Better to burn out than to fade away they say... well this guys burning up fast lol

A bunch of known Flowmos attacking me. Wow. I'm in shock!

The sheer number of you Flowmos guarantees you can't win a war with a bunch of **** sucking Flowmos, such as yourself.

As far as the above bolded: That's interesting, considering I have seen you mentioned quite frequently as one of the most knowledgable posters on this site.

As to your point... I think boxers CHOOSE pretty much every aspect of their game. It's no different then fighters who CHOOSE to target the body as opposed to those who primarily head hunt, or fighters who CHOOSE to box instead of brawl. That's why they say every boxer has their own style.

BTW, whoever said or insinuated that you know nothing about boxing apparently knows nothing of it themselves.

You would think this is common sense, wouldn't you?

Good post Ray.

Boxers love to fight on the inside. Many think that it keeps their opponent from doing what they want to do. That's a falsehood. If your opponent forces you to fight inside, the greats adapt. Boxers come in all styles. Of course there are fighters who love to fight on the inside even if not forced to.

It's more than not the fighter that wants to fight inside is prevented from doing so because the opponent ties him up. Infighting is a dying art in modern boxing because of this.

Which most fighters do. It's called leading with the jab. That's only if your fast enough, and crafty enough to continually execute that game plan for all 12 rounds.

Some fighters don't have the craft to slip every punch, and use angles, so they're forced into a infighting match.

You're making the mistake of thinking that because some boxers are forced to fight inside by guys cutting of the ring, that all boxers are. Which has shown to wrong many times in this thread.

Alright guys. I'm out this thread. Enjoy your little circle jerk session.

Flowmos: "Yes guys! We did it!!! We made some guy that broke down Floyd's resume and his inferior boxing game to Rigo, lose this battle." "We taught him a lesson!"

Later Flowmos. Enjoy this while you can.

You should focus on the task at hand as you are having enough issues already.

I don't know which sport you are watching but in boxing guys that can do work at both inside and outside are exceedingly rare. Great or even quality inside boxers are rare anyways, because it is counter intuitive to go inside because it should be dangerous there, but a guy who can do work all the way in is in very little danger. Now keep in mind that isn't hanging out in no man's land getting tagged by stiff shots.

A real boxer either wants to be all the way in or all the way out, the real danger lies between, and a guy can be effective using just one his talent is just skewed.

You're a lying, petty individual. Not even trying to call you a man, because you have no morals.

I said, and I quote, "WHY (keyword) would you fight on the inside, if you don't have to?"

Since you don't have any reading comprehension, you took that for me saying, "no fighter in the history of boxing has ever fought on the inside, willingly."

You're a trip.

No, YOU said that. Shall I quote it again?

You said "Why (keyword) would you fight on the inside, if you don't have to?"

And the answer is because some fighters are good enough and comfortable enough on the inside to do so. I.e Andre Ward against Carl Froch, Pernell Whitaker against Julio Cesar Chavez.

This seems to allude you, though.

Which like I said in the other thread, I can't decide whether it's sad, or funny.

Buuuurrrnnning up.

Maybe I should somehow make it more clear that I don't like Floyd Mayweather? I know I actually give the guy credit where others refuse, but that doesn't mean I like him, at all.

you know you on floyd's jock
