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

    And here it is, again.

    You think Whitaker only fought on the inside because he HAD to. Because he "didn't have the power to keep them off like Rigo".

    Here it is, AGAIN. You are saying Whitaker fought on the inside because he was forced, no? And for no other reason than that?

    Well guess what, genius, that's NOT the case!!

    Whitaker fought on the inside because HE, willingly wanted to.

      This is it, basically.

      Of course some fighters are forced into an inside battle. Of course!

      But does this mean they all are? No, obviously not.

      There are some boxers who can outbox someone to deal (Whitaker, Hopkins, Ward etc) who willingly go on the inside and dominate there, on their own accord.

      This all started because I said Rigondeaux hasn't shown an inside game, yet. And then Tim said;

      "Riongdeaux's inside game is boxing on the outside and keeping it from getting to the inside, like Pernell Whitaker"

      He actually said that, it's in the thread.

      ******ation beyond the wildest of imaginations.

        Seems pretty straight forward to me.

        BTW, I could be wrong but I'm guessing this guy is DirkUK??

          Please quote me saying that, if you will.

          I will give you 1 Trillion points if you quote me saying that.
          Any chance on getting this quote that I've said?

          Easy Trillion points for you, you'd think.

          Find me the quote of me saying

          "No fighter in the history of the sport has fought on the inside without wanting to".

              No, no way.

              Firstly, Dirk can form basic sentences.

              Secondly, I highly doubt Dirk would say something so absurd.

                    I'm doing the Internet wrong, I think. I need to take more extreme stances. Being unbiased doesn't seem to work.

                      That thread is better. There's some absolute gem's I have missed out.

                      I don't think anything compares to that quote though
