For me..Its plain and simple..

Floyd sr and Roger can say they own floyds style all they like..But neither were ever a shade on floyds skill.. So since floyd put it into motion and made it his own.. And stuck his speed and eventual experiance to it.. Then its Floyds

All they can do..Which i will add is what they have done.. Is claim that they Helped..

Floyd sr Did more then roger i would say.. Roger as far as training and bieng there for floyd as a person and a fighter and bieng a successful fighter himself added the final touches which i believe doesnt include his defense..

And Floyd was just gifted enough to put it into practice.. Cos Floyd sr and Roger cant show floyd how to punch as fast as he does.. They cant show him how to block punches by getting in the ring with him.. Its all technical..And floyd puts his spin and skill on it

But if someone wants to claim it from the start they should be looking down the list in this sort of manner..

Toney-- From, Charles Walcott and so on
i agree completely, both Floyd Sr. and Roger contributed to Floyd's style by teaching him the various nuances and subtleties he employs. I would say, however, that I would credit Floyd Jr. with the style he uses. Only he can put it into practise and I'm sure he's added things along the way that are wholly his own.
