    It's difficult enough to bring them together in a ring, now you want them to fight in the pocket?

    I have said this tons of times as well.
    The clinch will be crucial if they ever fight.

    exactly, if people were thinking Marquez beat emmanuel bad, wait till he's in there with someone who's great in the clinches and knows how to get there like Floyd

    emmanuel has spent basically his entire career fighting foreigners. They don't know how to clinch as well as Americans

    And Mayweather knows this.

    But to be fair though, Roach probably understands this as well and might come up with something that, you know, may make it interesting for a while.

    it'll be interesting to see

    emmanuel even initiated one or two clinches himself in his most recent fight against Juan. first time I seen him try that

    what I think is irrelevant...he has excellent reflexes...

    IN THE END HE IS JUST A MUCH BETTER BOXER/FIGHTER THAN MANNY CAN DREAM TO BE.:deal
