The Origin of Floyd Mayweather's defensive style?

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Watching fights like this is a great reminder that fighters from the old school were just as good, if not better, than fighters today.

Vitali ripped Johnson off.........

I seen this video before. Very good technique.

But he actually got it from James Toney and some other Michigan fighters in that same circle.

WHOAAAA WHOAAA WHOAAA!! just because toney shoulder rolls dnt mean floyd learned it from him. toney is wayyy to young to have taught floyd shoulders when his father and uncle have been usin that shoulder style defense since the 70s-80s.

Bro I didnt say he taught it to him. Toney and Floyd Jr. confirmed this. They are all in the same Michigan circle.

This is real awesome stuff.

When you consider some of the technique's such as Floyd's "Philly shell" you gotta think that it came from somewhere else, but its just so awesome to see it done back then. Fighters back then had as much potential as fighters do now.
