God Gifted/Shoulder Roll

Yes... but more so, to use the philly shell defense masterfully requires great natural athleticism because you're using a lot of upper body twisting, ducking and rolling. Pause the video when you see Floyd duck left hooks and you'll see his head is level with his knees. You have to be fast at doing it because punches come fast. Look at how badly Oscar failed trying to use this style when he fought Mayorga. It takes great conditioning and natural reflexes.

It's completely against the rules of boxing to duck your head below your waist. I don't know how much this is enforced because it doesn't often happen, but I've seen refs caution boxers when they had done this.

As Floyd says... HARD WORK, DEDICATION.

[Larry the boss]

its a excellent technique and used correctly

Natural athleticism...

Natural reflexes...

How do you know it's natural or not?

Oscar failed because you don't learn it in few weeks.

Floyd has without a doubt the body and the genetic background of an athlete,but his reflexes aren't natural IMO, it has been worked and worked for years with his uncle and father, dude is a boxing gym rat since his first steps...he has never done anything else in his life, and that's why he is a so narrow minded person who don't know shat about "real" life living in his small Money May Family world since the cradle.

In the same way that you or Oscar could never dance like me or any other Brother or Sister. You're too stiff, quirky, and uncoordinated... by NATURE. And by nature, I got more fast twitch muscle, smaller joints, and natural rhythm. I guarantee you that Floyd had that style down packed the first year he was doing it if not sooner. That's what natural gifts do for you.

It's all about how you do it... Floyd does it all the time but he's not bending forward. He's bending to his side at angles.
