Why do certain posters label Floyd a clincher,he had 49 fights

[El-blanco]

wow a poster that understands!!!!!!!!!!

Lunging to clinch your opponent , when you're out of position, is acceptable? Clinching should occur when your hurt or it's unavoidable. Being gassed is also acceptable but what Floyd did in maidana 2, and other fights, is a disgrace.

a disgrace????? really? well when is your professional fight so you can show us how its done, all of the greats had their tricks man lol. so ur telling me u never went to a boxing gym and clinching was taught to do in certain situations? I understand that when you don't like a guy any and everything he does is made out to be worse than what it was but ive watched, participated, and trained in boxing pretty much all my life and Floyd mayweather is not an excessive clincher, there are dirty things he does yes, but to label him and excessive clincher shows me u just don't like him, which is okay. its obvious Floyd is past it and in his latter days has declined in the offensive category so as a person that understands boxing I understand why he does what he does to win. I would love to see you guys in the ring and do it better than these professional fighters you criticize daily I swear it would be hilarious to see

hell you guys wont stop! we have no other choice but to respond to some of this ish, thing is a lot of us Floyd fans recognize pac as an ATG and are willing to leave it alone and let him be. but for the past 6+ years you guys have poisoned the boards with anti Floyd chatter, which is cool. but now hes retired and the chatter has worsened so why not show us what u guys are talking about... u all went crazy when he said he was better than ali and said they shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence, but failed to realize ali was the actual excessive clincher. so fk it lets talk about clinching. when does Floyd excessively clinch? lets talk boxing lol

Where did I call him an excessive clincher? I said lunging to clinch is a disgrace, and it is. It's a cheap tactic, period. You accept it because you're in awe of him but the majority of people who watch boxing do it to be entertained. Plenty of other great boxers never needed to do it, you act like its a necessity to win. I've said repeatedly Floyd is one of the best I've seen in all my years, I wouldn't say that if I was being as biased as you think. The reality is, he has cheap tactics that most people don't like.

OKAY MY BAD MISUNDERSTOOD YOUR POST. lol @ in awe... why cant I just be a fan? all these other fan bases accept their fighters with their flaws and all but for some reason we are nuthuggers and all kinds of other names because we support and like Floyd as a boxer? same with this IV talk, pacs fans supported him through refusing test, post 20 paragraph responses to prove why he declined and all but we are the crazy ones for still supporting Floyd thru extra vitamin c? Lunging in is a disgrace? so is being a professional boxer and not knowing how to cut off a ring... then complaining the fighter who has been labled a runner since moving to 147 didn't stay still for you to hit him.... this was said by a professional boxer after a professional bout. now that's the real disgrace!

im at work and just feel like going back n forth so just go with the flow...

Lol I didn't call you a nut hugger, I said you were in awe. That wasn't a jab at you. Not being able to cutoff the ring is not a disgrace, it's pathetic but not a disgrace. At that point the person is still trying to fight, clinching is the opposite of fighting. I agree with you regarding what he said after, manny was a sore loser.

I work from home myself so this banter passes the day quickly, lol. All good man.

Boxing is very much "what have you done for me lately".

Lately, Floyd has clinched the mess out of people. No, he hasn't always, but what's your point?

Maidana 2 was an abomination. It undid the goodwill accumulated from like 10 other reasonably entertaining fights. It was THAT bad.
