C'mon. Do people actually think Floyd would lunge in wide open like Hatton did?? There's a huge difference between intelligent clinching and ineffective clinching. I can totally see Floyd smothering Pac against the ropes seeing that Floyd has a good inside game and he's the bigger man. Easier said than done though when you're fighting a guy who's quick on his feet like Pac is. But if it's anyone who can get it done it's Floyd. And if it's anyone who can KO Floyd it's Pac.
This is what Floyd might do. But Floyd have to have some power on those shots else Manny will not respect him he'll trade some shots with a solid punch. Rinse and repeat.
id certainly employ some of these tactics if i was floyd. I dont think mannys as effective fighting backwards
