Clinching teqniques

hopkins is pretty good at it and Ali was good at it

cant think of any others

 

yes ali was good at it and when he fought frazier he pushed his head down and leant on him.joe bugner used to do it too !!

 

Roberto Duran was good at holding to stop punches coming back at him sometimes

 

Ruiz is the ATG of clinchers.

Evander Holyfield did some mighty fine clinching in his plan to beat Tyson.
Hopkins was mentioned, and rightfully so. Hopkins uses the clinch very effectively.
Lennox Lewis was good at leaning on people and wearing them down.
Jack Johnson was a great clincher, or so I hear. Footage from back then is unreliable at best.

 

B-Hops - unquestionably

 

Johnson is a good shout but boxing has evolved so much and he did tend to wrestle

 

was a brilliant strategy too, it takes alot of work trying to keep up someone elses body weight up like that

 

watch some Jack Johnson and Duran for different types of clinching

 

If you intend to put clinching in your strategy, I advise against it. Judges don't like it an ref's will penalise you in the amateurs

 

look at Tommy Hearns he didnt know how to clinch in the 1st fight with Leonard and look what happened

 

Mosley did a good job with Margarito
