    A lot of guys used a cross arm defense when stunned as opposed or with peekaboo to cover up...from wolgast and Langford to present

    I didn't search for articles.
    I found it by clicking on an image of Ken Norton through google images.

    You made an overreaching dumb accusation.
    That's why I called you skippy, skippy.

    And then at the end he clarifies:
    "While there is no harm in calling Mayweather's style the Philly Shell, it's fascinating to examine the evolution and the minor differences between them."

    I believe he's mistaking Floyds stylistic nuances with some broader evolution.
