Why is Hugging Allowed in Boxing? I believe most viewers think hugging makes the sport a bit boring to watch.

    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.
