is shoulder roll the best defense?

On paper it can be considered the best. Everything about it says "inpenetrable" but you gotta have the right skill set to use it effectively. Gatti used it but was he known for defense? Nope.

James Toney used it. I think Floyd used it the best though. (as far as I know)

Your absoulutley right. It takes someone with a certain skill to really master it. If you haven't master it you have no business doing it. I tried it during my amatuer run during a few matches. It can leave you almost as open as the hitman stance if your not a master at it.

If that is the case then Margarito has the best defense.

It depends on the fighter and who he's fighting.
