    I've hardly ever heard the terms "Philly Shell" or "Hitman style" used. I believe the crab was the type of defense Archie Moore, Ken Norton and Tim Witherspoon had.

    I'd rather use the term shoulder roll because that's effectively what it is.

                    I'm not sure it does at all... I'd like to see the evidence for this.
                    Yeah. Bigger fists could mean more mass so it probably helps a bit.

                      If James Toney had the dietary and gym discipline of a Mosley, Hopkins or Mayweather he could've very possibly have ended up a true top 5 ATG.
