That was also a tactic, yes Mike didnt mind holding but try and say he was Ricky Hatton, you dont get as high a knockout percentage and as many first round KO's as Mike has by holding, his opponents initiated the holding and Mike really didnt mind but hew as taught to keep his eye on the gloves, keep his arms in side the opponents and the elbow in the throat is pretty straight forward, Floyd uses it now

This is all because Mike was taught well, how many other fighters from the mid eighties do we wish were around now? Maybe Leonard but even he got beat at his peak, Mike destroyed a division.

Also, Tony Tucker before he fought mike would have handled todays division He was 6,5" and had 29 ko's from 30 fights
