You seem to know your stuff, what are the rules of hugging ? What’s preventing an opponent who knows he is up in points to just do that until the end to not risk any comeback?
Floyd was one of the first persons I thought of that abuses clinching, I remember watching his fight with Pacquiao and it was boring as hell. 12 rounds of nothing.
That fight was such a huge disappointment and was the event that brought my attention to his fighting style.
Yes, I know he’s technically within his rights to fight like that. But I am well within my rights to lose respect for a guy who won’t face an equal opponent head on and resorts to playing “the game” like a coward.

He’s why I thought of this post. Such a boring fighter.
