Why is it that Euro fighters can't fight too well on the inside?

[pesticid]

I mean pretty much all of them except for Hatton who was born too short and just did not have any other choice and Joe Calzaghe who was trained by a street guitar player.


We have Wlad, Khan, Kessler, Froch although he can fight on the inside a lil bit, Brook, Pulev, Golovkin ( the only time I saw him fight on the inside Ouma was getting in his ass).

Ok ok, we have guys like Kovalev who fights on the inside as well as on the outside.

I don't know man...do they think it's below them to learn to throw and avoid punches in close?

There is plenty of Euros who can fight on the inside.


Look harder.

In Europe the style tends to be utilising your reach and the jab but they can definitely fight on the inside. It's just they were taught that it would be easier to utilise distance.

Shafikov, Zlaticanin, Petrov, Gradovich. Lomachenko. Etc

True, true! Loma especially!

I am just looking at the already established names and some of them are dreadful

gennady golovkin

gradovich

Gradovich yes but he's short and doesn't have much of a choice.

I think it's an illusion that GGG fights on the inside, he fights at medium range.

[have_not]

there's lots of euro fighters that can fight inside.
great inside fighter---

[bojangles1987]

Most fighters these days can't fight inside. That's why Ward embarrasses everyone and Lamont PEDerson is one of the best infighters in the sport today. Few fighters they fight have any idea how to deal with it.

It's not just Europeans, it's everyone. Inside fighting is rare.
