    best shoulder roll ever in history?

    In my opinion. George Benton followed by James Toney.

    Floyd's got a great shoulder roll but its too fidgety for my taste. Its not mantequilla smooth ya'know. Not saying its not effective because obviously that's a lie but floyds body language when doing it seems so forced, too speedy, where as in George Benton's and James Toney's was perfectly effortless and as opposed to FM's they were used at all distsnces where as in FM can use it at all distances but was mostly utilized only in the phonebooth.

    Nomination: George Benton


    Edit: I also detest whenever someone uses a shoulder roll and automatically people say hes trying to be like floyd. As if the style never existed and was mastered before him.

    I came here with the intention of saying George Benton too. JJ Walcott was also extremely good at it, though he used it differently to Toney and Floyd. James Toney too. I think Floyd Mayweather is up there as well - he very rarely gets hit. His dad and uncle were good as well.

    Archie Moore is another one.

              Forgot all about George Benton. No arguments from me; spot on.

                I'd have to say Andre Berto; in his fight with Guerrero it was like trying to make contact with slick oil.

                    Evander Holyfield had a very underrated shoulder roll. Probably because he did it in a subtle way
