    Manny inside fighting

    I was just watching some pac vids and it reminded me of something my trainer was telling me when pacman fought clottey. How good is mannys clinche fighting?

    I know he has good footwork and can control distance well but he has to have some experience with phonebooth fighting.

    I dont wanna offend anyone by saying this but if he isnt that good in the clinche then that might be the true key to beating manny.
    I dont mean when him and his opponent just stand right in front of eachother, im talking about him and his man keaning on eachother bumping shoulders that type of fight.

    Does anyone have any videos or links of Manny fighting that type of fight?
    If so ill send u green k

    I don't think he has much experience with inside fighting. I guess he either pressures people, or darts around to his strength because his legs are powerful to get in and out, and his ahdn speed from mid range is brilliant.

    He weight and size at 147 would defintiely not be a good idea to try inside fighting.

      True..i was just thinking if him and floyd ever did fight I could imagine floyd just potshotting and clinching with Manny than getting a few shots off on the inside. Almost like he did with Hatton. If manny doesnt have experience fighting in the clinche it could be a big problem.

      Alotta people dont notice it but when you fight like that it wears you down like you wouldnt believe so you have to be used to fighting inside and then going back to boxing or else your muscles will fill up with blood and it will make you really sluggish.

        you have to dig deeper at the lower weights and you'll see Pac's inside game and how dangerous he can be inside ...

        IMHO now that Manny is fighting at the heavier weights @ WW, PAC wont be planning for a dragdown inside fighting but if he is forced to such a position he has game not to be trapped and even turn the tables around inside...

                I guess the only person to really try and fight manny on the inside was Hatton? But the thing about manny is he has quick movement and is elusive enough to avoid getting into an inside fight.

                for examples skip to: 1:00, 1:25, 1:33, 2:23, 5:53, 6:27

                  lolz actually there are, out of memmory check out PAC-EM 2 around round 7 or 8, they went ala castillo-coralles fighting toe to toe ...

                  recently Mosley mentioned Pac's 6-9 inch punch, this is what Pac uses inside, this was spotted by Manny's first US promoter .... Murad a punch you dont see inside ....

                    I am not going to lie, I haven't seen many of his early fights, but here is some close up work. Maybe not inside fighting that is good though.

                    This was the first video when I searched Manny Pacquiao early fight.
