More idiotic nonsense from you.

Just because someone creates a thread about past fighters, doesn't mean they're historians.

You wanna go to the countless other threads talking about steroids, be my guest.

Ignored.

I know about Willie Pep, Charley Burley I will check him out.

Always enjoy finding about the old fighters from the past who aren't mentioned as often as SRR and the likes.

Here is a very good video of Burley



A couple all time great trainers like Eddie Futch said that Burley was more skilled than Sugar Ray Robinson. He called Burley the greatest fighter of all time.

I already posted that. Was a good video, I loved the quote of J.G. Lynch in it, which why I put it in my signature.

Yes he was. Like Freddie Roach he learned under Eddie Futch. Benton went on to train Whitaker and Meldrick Taylor.

I can't say exactly where the style originated but I can say that it has been around for a long time, maybe since the very beginning as the use of the shoulder for defense is quite natural. Most fighters in the mid 1900's did utilize the "shoulder roll" as a defensive mechanism, although not as consistently as Floyd Mayweather or George Benton.

Mayweather himself learned it from his father and uncle, who both used the shoulder roll:





Roger learned it from his brother, Floyd Sr. learned it from old Michigan trainers and perhaps was self-taught to some extent.
