Timing. One can not just run in there with his head down and start swinging. Even fighters that seemed like they ate an awful lot of punches to get inside timed the punches of their opponent. From Jake Lamotta to Vito Antuofermo they all used timing to get inside whether or not they ate the punch and stepped in as the punch was coming back or they slipped the punch and then stepped in, it's all about the timing.
Thanks for the question Rocco Jones.

Santana once again is correct. But I must add that the great infighters like Joe Frazier had an excellent but often overlooked jab. Even an infighter must use his jab to get inside. Just about everything in boxing related to offense revolves around a good solid jab.

There are a couple of diiferent strategies. James Toney in his heyday would let gets pin him on the ropes and he would beat the hell out of them. Their own training worked against them and they would always keep coming to him. Rare is the guy who can do that well. The Joe frazier type, firstly had tremendous stamina, and would walk'em down and cut off the ring until they were somewhat cornered. As the others said you have to be able to slip a punch when you're the little guy.

infighters fight inside and range fighters fight outside. i think that you have to look it up.

dont come in straight, head movement so when you come in, he will miss with his punch and you can come back with punches of your own.
