At my gym yesterday I couldn't help but notice the amount of young (and some older) fighters using the shoulder roll defense. Do you think Floyd's style will influence a new generation of fighters?
Obviously.....
The question is do you think we will see a lot more boxers influenced by Mayweather's style.
yeah you will much like we saw a bunch of Roy Jones imitators
however like Jones style Floyd's is one that takes skill and practice. It's based on having great reflexes and most fighters simply do not have that
not like the shoulder roll is anything new, it has been used by many boxers of the past and are used by many boxers in the present

yeah, ive seen a few fighters try use it since seeing floyd use it
i see it staying around for a while
wheres the peekaboo gone??????
peekaboo is only ideal for certain types of fighters with certain physiques. same for the shoulder roll and everything else. you have to tailor your defensive posture to what best suits you.

probably people used to copy Ali's style of fighting.
