Why do people complain about clinching when...?

[SalimShady1212]

Ali clinched more times vs Frazier in the first 2 rounds (FACT) than Mayweather did in 12 vs Pacquiao. And Ali is my favourite fighter ever before someone calls me a *****. Clinching is and important and effective tool to have at your disposal and I guarantee you that every great fighter was good in the clinch or initiating it at the right time! To the casuals its hugging but to someone who boxes regularly at amateur or pro level or has followed the sport for a long time; we know that it's unlikely anyone will throw at each other non stop without clinching. Embrace hugging it's here to stay.

Disclaimer: Excessive hugging is illegal and should be penalised, this refers to when a fighter is unable to even throw and there is no engagement between the two because fighter A doesn't want to fight.

Fun Fact: Devon Alexander clinched 119 times vs Marcos Maidana AND HE GOT WHOOPED BY MATTHYSSE

I don't mind clinching if there's something exciting in between clinches. There are guys who clinch a few times then brutally KO you.

With Floyd you aren't really waiting for anything but the fight to be over so you can fall asleep without missing a potentially cringeworthy postfight interview. AKA the most famous moments in his entire career.

English please....

[daggum]

it should be illegal not to clinch and if you don't clinch the ref puts you in a clinch

And we need a second thread on this in the same day why?

I thought it was cheap when Ali did it heavily against Frasier too. I'm not going to defend it just because a beloved fighter does it. Sometimes, you wind up in a situation where you need to clinch to protect yourself. Guys like Mayweather and Hopkins gameplan the clinch. It drags down the quality of the fight.
