    if every fighter fought out the philly shell would boxing be boring

    I was talking to my cousin about this today, You have to be determined to win against the philly shell. Cause they just cover up and wait to counter. If everyone fought out of it will boxing be extermely bori8ng.

    Every one know fights orthodox or soutpaw but someone came up with that and people realized that was the elite way to fight, what if people come to think that the philly shell is the elite way and becomes standard practice will boxing become a bore fest.?

    two philly shell facing eachother, the excitement of action will be far and in between.

    only the elite tier of boxers can perfect the philly shell , others can try but they fail hard

    big props to the real Gs who can pull it off and still be explosive and exciting like broner and floyd

        Well floyd does is perfectly, Broner still perfecting it, but "as is" is enough to cause heaps of problems to fighters.

        Maybe you know who else fights with that philly shell, I can tthink of any of the top of my head.
