    There were times in the Hatton/Mayweather fight where Hatton was able to use his good foot speed to get into the pocket and land on Mayweather, but he had trouble getting out or going too far in and getting an elbow to the mouth or clinched. Also, once Mayweather got more aggressive he was landing on Hatton as he came in, even after Hatton had slipped a first punch.

      Bmore, you got it all wrong.

      Floyd doesn't clinch, he forces his shoulder into his opponent and uses his right hand to do short uppers on the inside. Hatton's style is "punch-hug" not Mayweather's. Dont confuse Hatton's failed attempts to hug with Floyd's brilliant defense.


      If your a technical fighter or enjoy technical fighting then you would understand. If not then, I dont blame you for not understanding.

        You are right that he generally does not clinch, HOWEVER he clinched in the Hatton fight to throw Hatton off. I would not be surprised to see that tactic back in the arsenal, but its possible he wont use it because Pac will not pressure that much.

          because he usually doesnt HAVE to.............however he'd be looking to 'calm' and control PACs aggression.............he'd need the jab to throw PACs rhythm and timing off........................and that might make Manny get a lil wild and looping

                Possibly, but Manny has miles more confidence than judah does.

                  a lot of fighters have looked 'IMPROVED' until they were frustrated and then they resort to old BAD habits.

                  I think the true question here though is WTF has PBF been up to in retirement, that will play the biggest part in a Pac match-up
                  Has he been Judah'rin around the club circuit?

                    lol true
                    however I must sadly admit I like the new Judah................who stands in there and gets pounded into unconsciousness by Cotto n Clottey
                    He aint quit
