Boxers who use the philly shell defense

I think it was innovated by George Benton. Just watched some of his highlights on youtube.

lol Cotto does not use shell defense. He just does some sort of crazy whenever he gets hit...lol McCloskey was actually using it at times. I kinda like this guy. He's got balls.

Adrien Broner.

Pirog and Degale

A bit of an ancient thread bump, but I love the Philly shell when it is executed to the level Mayweather can. I'd say it's the most attractive defense. I know it's flogging a dead horse but I'd love to see Pac trying to break it down. As for Khan calling him out, McCloskey was hard for him to hit, he would be punching, gloves, elbows and air all night against money. He needs to come out of hiding and come and show his skills off again.

Do you really count Cottos ear muff defense as a philly shell?....I don't think it looks anything like it well i mean hes not that effective with it as compared to a floyd or a james toney.. but he does use philly shell, he just doesnt shoulder roll but his defensive stance is still philly shell

Do you really count Cottos ear muff defense as a philly shell?....I don't think it looks anything like it i believe i've seen him go into it a few times while trying to slip by his opponent when he's against the ropes.

guzman, forbes, cintron tries to do it, hmm i bet it takes years to get even comfortable and actually apply the technique in a fight

the only ones that i can think of, off the top of my head are Floyd Mayweather Jr James Toney Miguel Cotto who am i missin? guzman, forbes, cintron tries to do it,
