Great fighters who couldn't fight on the inside

[junior gong]

Manny Pacquiao?

I knew it was coming, it was just a case of which floydiot was gonna step up.

[Jloro]

Martinez cant

/if we are talking sergio then yeah he can. He ****ed Chavez up at his own game lol

Pacquiao can fight on the inside. He tends not to clinch fight. Fighting in a clinch is only one form of in fighting and that style is often prevented from even happening by lots of referees in most countries. American referees allow it consistently though.

Ali must be the greatest fighter who couldn't really fight on the inside.

Pacquiao cannot fight well on the inside at all. What footage are you looking at? He's a midrange fighter only, but he's extremely effective at midrange. Inside / outside, forget about it.

So Pacquiao is good on the inside now?

I'm thinking the same thing. Like, where do people come up with this stuff?

Lennox Lewis was a very good inside fighter for a 6'5 245 pound man.

Look at how he dominated Michael Grant via infighting and how he pushed Mercer back by going to war on the inside. He destroyed Holyfield in the mid rounds with in fighting as well and had Vitali on his way out in the 6th with some good upper cuts. Lewis in fact got one of the greatest upper cuts in HW History.

It would be almost impossible to be a mid-range fighter and not be able to fight on the inside to at least a decent degree. I'm not saying Pacquiao is a great inside fighter, he isn't, but this thread was about great fighters who couldn't fight on the inside. Pacquiao does not belong in this conversation.

Mikey Garcia comes to mind. His response is hold or clinch and look at the referee. Refer to the Salido fight.

Wlad (i wouldn't call him great) as soon as an opponent gets within 3 feet he grabs and doesn't let go until the ref breaks it. I don't thinks he's thrown a punch at close quarters in 5 years.
