      Moore? or was it Walcott? Hopkins and toney always talk about Walcott.

        There are a lot of similarities in Moore's and Toney's defenses.

          Jack Dempsey invented the Dempsey Roll... a.k.a what Tyson does.

          James Toney just copied Foreman's defense thats all.


          Floyd perfected the Shoulder Roll.


          The shoulder roll was actually created by Ancient Chinese Shaolin Monks.

            roman soldiers actually used it to, they would roll there oponent with their large shield to push the weapon aside and stab with their own short sword in the belly or neck.
