Is Floyd Mayweather the greatest to fight primarily out of the shoulder roll style?

[Holywarrior]

Sure he did that's why he's punch drunk

nunn was schooling him terribly in his prime. jones schooled him, tiberi, mccallum should've won too.

No Nicolino Locche was all these guys copied his style he fought in the pocket had his hands down made guys miss more but there was better boxers back then so he's not as famous as these guys

I'd say James Toney got hit to much he sounds like a ******ed punch drunk sipping on some Ripple

Is Mayweather the top fighter to fight mostly out of the shoulder roll stance? (philly shell or whatever you like to call it)

My two shouts:
James Toney


George Benton


Who has used this technique the best in history? Making blows glance off the shoulder, catching punches with the right glove, solid counters coming back.. who did it best?

Toney and benton both did it better, thanks for answering your own question in your own OP and wasting our time.

[SplitSecond]

Definitely Mayweather. Toney is on the lower tier of a top 100 ATG list

james toney's resume > floyd mayweather

by quite a margin

kinda like whitaker?

i think it's more that these guys spent way too much time having gym wars
