Who are the heavyweight infighter top dogs?

[Winter king]

Or are there any? I think Fighters Like Mike Tyson or A heavyweight Roberto Duran would be so effective against lot of the top fighters nowadays. We have so many of these giant heavyweights but they are boxer punchers or punchers mostly. The division is lacking someone who is really good in the inside. But im curious if any of you know about prospects or amatuer heavys who could be someone im talking about.

Mike Tyson wasn't a good inside fighter.

Josh has a good uppercut and short left hook. Stopped Wlad and Whyte with uppercuts and also hurt Breazeale with it. And dropped Takam and Ruiz with short left hooks. People moaned about Parker not being able to fight inside but AJ is actually much better inside than Joe, though I agree the ref sucked.

Pov has been good inside with hooks and uppers. Fat boi Andy of course can let the hands go well inside when he does.

Fury was good inside too actually before changing styles. He gave Chisora a beating inside the first time. Chis is inside himself I guess and gives most guys a good fight.


As for prospects, well, Majidov is good inside though at 33 he better move fast

I would argue with that. His signiture move the double uppercut is a very short range combo.

Does anyone think Canelo could have beaten fat Andy last Saturday?

True. People assume he was because he was short, but he could be tied up easily.

Fair enough, but it was a hook uppercut and Tyson needed to step back to throw it. Watch a vid on it.

Joshua is generally very good on the inside, but not as good as Ruiz. He obviously didn't realise how effective Ruiz was until it was too late in their first fight.

Povetkin is a good shout, as is Chisora and Takam is no slouch either.

Generally it is the shorter guys who excel on the inside.

Riddick Bowe was one of the finest inside fighters at HW for many a year, despite being 6' 5" with long arms, far better than Mike Tyson who was quite happy to be lulled into a clinch.

Tyson was a poor infighter. Just very talented with his combos. No instincts inside midrange was his spot. Now? It's a lost art. Maybe chisora or whyte.

Yeah I think if a good infighter would debut in heavyweight who knows how to get inside and use the ring would probably rule the division. I mean Chisora is good inside but if cant just stroll to you than he is useless.

[Verdi]

Povetkin, Takam, Chisora and Rivas are all pretty good on the inside.

Spot on.

It's amazing that Tyson was less than stellar on the inside, despite having the ideal physical attributes to be a great inside fighter, namely short arms, great handspeed & great combination punching.

Really is, even more amazing we're one of the only ones that realize it. Frazier would have eaten him for breakfast.
