Who invented the shoulder roll and did anyone do it better than floyd??

A lot of the Murderer's Row used variations of it, though Harold Johnson tended use the version associated with Floyd more than the Mongoose (who operated behind the cross-arm defense.)

 

:good

It's actually a natural reaction, It's not this ancient technique developed throughout the years, I;m guessing people just realized how something as simple as raising ur shoulder can be so effective and decided to emphazise on it. Just a simple trick, wouldn't call it a style though.

 

^This ..

 

Kid Chocolate-Tony Canzoneri is a very interesting fight if you're a fan of Mayweather.

 

Invented it!!!! its not a ****ing light bulb!!!!!!!!

 

And Floyd should fight Manny?

 

Burley was a king at the shoulder roll and the best I've ever seen along with Money. Toney had a good should roll

 

Same blown up feather weight who a lot of people think beat Pacquiao at the same weight.

 

Will people quit posting Locche like he was some defensive wizard. He only looked good against crude brawlers. And his use of the shoulder roll was sparse at best and not on the same level as effective as Floyd, Pernell, or Pep.:-(

 

There is absolutely nothing natural about the shoulder roll defense. GTFOH...You ever see any street fights and a guy is about to get hit in the face with a haymaker and he raises his shoulder to block the punch?atsch

YDKSAB!!!

 

done alot of reading about the history of boxing and the first time i heard of the shoulder roll being used was in the 20's by leonard

 

:deal /thread

 

Isn't Floyd a blown up lightweight?

 

You like that right....I'm surprised no one took the bait.
