    "pull counter" "philly shell" how many stupid ass meaningless phrases can we invent for floyd mayweather. Those phrases never existed before him but the techniques existed a century before he came along. Gag. Do you think Archie Moore didnt know how to "pull counter"??? Have you ever heard or read that phrase used to describe that technique from any magazine, tv, or radio broadcast pre 1999??? Hell no. Do you think gil turner or harold johnson, two prototypical philly fighters ever heard of the "philly shell" no. Can we please retire these stupid ass synthetic phrases.

    I think it is to be expected people born after 1975 will believe boxing started and ends with Mayweather.
