    Tall fighters with inside games.

    Conventional wisdom tells you to get up close against a tall fighter, because he's weak on the inside. But, who were some tall fighters with good inside games?

                    In the past 20 or so years, the best tall fighters Ive seen for their weight class was Rid**** Bowe, Diego Corrales, Ricardo Lopez was a huge/tall straw but had vicious uppercuts and hooks inside
