mayweather and tony perfected it but i think loche made it as well

have you seen Locche Record? dude only had 4 loses and 114 wins.
Dude was a defensive genius he won his fight son points since he only had 14 knockouts but still to fight as often as that guy did and stay in the pocket with the shell defense he was a under rated master.

James Toney and Floyd Mayweather are the only ones who use it to any effect.

because some fighters use it as a stationary defense like the crossblock or holding your hands up, the philly shell is to help you anticipate punches, move out the way and issue vicious counters and not giving your opponent very much body, when you use it for a fighter whos gifted and fast, its really hard to catch up to them, a guy like toney who has seen every punch from every angle can be effective with it to this day, even with his refelxes and motor skills slowed. its for intelligent fighters, which is why guys like vargas dont have a shot in hell at making it effective

isn't the "philly shell" name just some **** EA came up with?
isnt it actually called the sholder roll style/defence?
