[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

For years, Floyd Mayweather, Sr. has told the boxing world that he invented the defensive techniques being used by his son, Floyd Jr.

In an interview with the Mercury News, James "Lights Out" Toney, one of the best defensive fighters to ever step foot in a ring, disputed Mayweather's claim. [details]

[demirturk]

toney couldn't do it to Roy jones .

[Left2body]

Toney does that particular thing better but PBF has more versatility with more potential styles.

[Double]

toney couldn't do it to Roy jones .

good point, or Sam Peter

[Hydro]

Neither guy invented it.

[pbftxrs316]

neither guy invented so it doesn't matter. floyd does it well and so does toney. floyd is more versatile than toney is. toney needs to stop taking credit for ****, and worry about his own fighting techniques.

[ThaHorseman]

Now that Toney isn't in demand enough to even have his fights televised he starts running his mouth about something. Why didn't he say something years ago?

[Kayjay's Ghost]

Neither guy invented it.

That's the thing. There's nothiung new under the sun. Toney recognizes he learned old moves and perfected them, the Mayweathers should do the same.
