    At least Ruiz had a great sneaky right hand, and Haney has a ton of skills. When the clinch is used properly it is a move that is good to do. Even wlad, big and bad, would zap his opponents strength while pulling them down in the clinch.

      No one will do it better than Evander Holyfield against Mike Tyson. Especially in the first fight, Holyfield smothered Tyson's power little by little with those tactics.

          What I noticed from Mayweather in the Hatton fight, he was a pure cheat. Ricky brang the heat, it's just that Floyd kept turtling bending lower than his waist and turning his back from Ricky Hatton. If course Ricky was gonna eventually tire out or slow down, so Floyd in a chicken or wuss mood waited for Rick to blow his load even before actually fighting him. That's not boxing man!

                  How could your forget Tyson Fury? That's his plan A, B and C: Hug and Lean.
