Tall fighters with inside games.

[El Kabong]

Diego Corrales and Paul Williams come to mind....Holyfield at 6'2-6'3 was just average sized for a heavyweight, but he was very busy on the inside.

Conventional wisdom is not so much that tall fighters are unable to work on the inside it's that they are unwilling because it increases the likelihood of them getting hit in return which is typically why boxers are told to utilize height and reach advantages. Plus with longer arms (which taller fighters typically have) on the inside they are all the easier to counter seeing how it takes more time for them to put the mustard on their punches, connect or miss, and draw their hands back to defend a counter.

Lennox Lewis was good when he would hook his left arm around the head of his opponent and hammer in uppercuts to the head with his right.....it kept his opponents focused on keeping their balance and blocking rather than throwing punches in return.

George Foreman in his comeback was very sneaky on the inside with hooks and uppercuts....he smoked Cooney with a massive uppercut.

I was gonna say Bowe as well. Had an excellent inside game plan in just about all of his fights.

Good job buddy we thought the exact same thing I agree with you.

[Primo Carnera]

At 6 foot tall , would you class Andre Ward as tall? His inside game is very good. He outstrengthed Froch and Virgil Hunter said before the fight he would do so. You don't expect it from someone who can box like him.
