        All 3.

        I think it actually originated from George Benton, but I might be wrong.

          Crab defense is what Ken Norton, Lamotta and George Foreman all used. It's where you cross your arms in front of your torso and chest, and then block with your forearms according to where they are striking.

          The 'philly shell' is a separate stance as a whole, and 'the shoulder roll' is merely one of the techniques used (usually to deflect right crosses) while in the "philly shell" stance.
