    you might want to comb through fighters than converted over from Muay Thai as old habits tend to die hard... but also many of the older fighters as Master said. Before the stances, guards, and physics/kinetics came into play for the sake of efficiency.

    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    Haye and Groves use a sort of half long guard, at times keeping their jab hand basically touching the other guys guard.

    It let's you measure distance but takes away some head guarding in the process.

    yeah I was looking for someone who holds there hands out further than the norm as a set guard but I guess no one does its more of a transitional guard if anything? Id think it would be used to keep the distance and makes parrying punches easier.

    Thanks for the help guys, ill definatley look into these

    Lennox Lewis, Vitali Klitschko, Wladimir has used it at times, Hasim Rahman has used it.

    I think George Foreman used it a bit vs Joe Frazier actually
