Why are no upcoming boxers utilizing the shoulder roll? It's such a tremendously effective technique

Because Floyd was boring and nobody wants to copy him.

 

His fight against ATG Henry Brussels was my favourite all out attack, action packed Floyd fight.

 

*cough* James Toney *cough*

 

Because you get too obsessive

 

Not many boxers can utilize the shoulder roll as effectively as TBE

 

Canelo v Floyd my fav of all time

 

I reckon it’s hard to learn

 

Because it's an extremely hard move to successfully utilize. It takes a combination
of skillset, reflexes and speed and the majority of goofballs that have tried to
use it have failed miserably.

Most fighters are so basic skill wise, they have no business even trying it
in a real fight.

 

100% boring. Sent me to sleep on many occasions. Good for insomnia.

 

I heard Floyd is also teaching them that cheating through the use of drugs is also as good a tactic as the shoulder roll. Worked for him.

 

That generation of trainers are almost gone? I remember listening to Manny Steward a year before he passed at the IBHOF...man he pissed off a lot of trainers.
He talked about how today's cornermen are more yes men- than anything.
Father trainers really ticked off a few who were there.
How the fundamentals have given way to spending more time on what ring song they want.

My take for fighters who don't preface an inside game, would be all the more difficult to learn.

 

Didn't work well for Broner...

 

How would you know it’s not hard to learn?
