Since he uses almost no lateral movement anymore, he should clinch when guys come into him, while he's on the ropes. Covering up and trying to counter is going to put him in the same state as Ali, and the bigger punchers will knock him, Roy, out. I know these guys don't hit as hard as the heavyweights that Ali fought, but I am worried that Roy will do damage to himself, and I am surprised he doesn't clinch more off the ropes. Hopkins and Floyd do it to great effect, and people may say its cheap, but its the easiest way to stop somebody from throwing punches. If he clinched whenever it got in close, I can't think of a single guy except maybe Chad Dawson who is anywhere near his speed up at LHW, and I doubt any of the other guys except Bernard's sneaky right hand could consistently reach Roy in the middle of the ring.
