    One of the more difficult styles to master and if you don't master it then don't bother trying

    Wilder on size.. But some of the big punching CW have a really good punchers chance against the guy. That's the kind of fight he would never take, since the risk completely outweighs the reward.

    Gennady's gonna do a shoulder roll in his next fight, as he's stepping over Jacob's unconscious body. Just you wait and see..,,

    Because shoulder roll is not enough. Floyd is successful because he didn't employ it persistently. It is just one of the defensive tools in his box. To equate floyd to shoulder roll is inaccurate.

    floyd rolls wit the punches better then any one ive seen , but for a while floyd was exclusively using the shoulder roll. then all these other guys started using. broner, berto , some young prospects , then he switched up or the other reason he switched up and just moved alot more is when he went back to his father as a trainer or final reason he fought alot of south paws to end his near the end with vic , gurrero, and pac. didnt use the shoulder roll vs guerrero or pac that much . when he got in the position to roll wit the punches vs pac he got hit pretty hard cuz that doesnt work all that well vs a south paw.

    Its prob one of the hardest styles to learn. I find the hardest problem with it is switching from defense to offense. Anyone who tries that **** in the gym gets destroyed. Makes you respect anyone who can do it at a high level

    The overall quality of boxers is at a low at the present moment. Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, even Juan Manuel Marquez were the last of the 90s- Early 2000s era that was rich in talent.

    Fighters today don't even have the fundamentals down.

    Unlike your false god Mayweather never failed a drug test. If MONY tested positive every media in the USA would have a field day. You show me a state athletic commission that busted Money .Just because Thomas Hauer wrote some bs doesn't make it true He's a hater like the rest(you too included) of the cult of I hate PBF. Ask Pedkotin I'm sure he would school you on getting busted with peds. PBF doesn't need drugs like your false gods Has PBF ever look like a body builder or look dumb and stupid like Pedkitn? He didn't need juice to make Pac Man look like he was looking for a egg role.
