    Mike Tyson says the Shoulder Roll would never work in heavyweight devision



    He says the shoulder roll isn't a pure defence technique and it would not be successful in the heavyweight division simple due to the power heavyweights can deliver, blocking any punch with ANY part of the body hurts, he even goes as far to say if Floyd was a natural heavyweight, his style would never last.

      I sparred with heavyweights occasionally, friendly sparring nothing serious. Just blocking punches feels like someone is whacking your arms with a cinder block. I can't even imagine what it would feel like to block a punch from Tyson. It's not just the shoulder roll it hurts like hell to block heavyweight punches with.

              Tomorrow Tyson gonna be talking about that "****ty Shots app". Mayweather needs to buy Tyson a new tiger or get him 3 roles in major films to make amends.

                Lets be honest the shoulder roll works, its actually best to use in the heavyweights, its meant to roll and deflect the punch so you dont take the blunt force of it. its a deflection tactic that helps reduce and evade a flush shot.

                The truth is Tyson is only referring to Floyd , he wants to punch Floyd in the face so bad. Was it Tyson who said something like Floyd just has a face and personality you want to punch?

                  Makes little sense. Particularly since Holyfield rolled and countered him all night.
