i'm pretty sure he would, but anyone who says that Mayweather Sr. didn't help with his defense is pretty blind
I think his defense was more solid when he was with Alcazar because he had better movement. It seemed when he got with Floyd he seemed to be more grounded and took more flush shots. He used alot of shoulder roll when he fought Gatti but I didn't see alot of it in later fights. Sturm got through alot with just a jab and Forbes got through and fractured his cheek bone and Pacman tore his defense apart. I'm not trying to start another thread but I really did not see alot of improvment under Floyd Sr.
Forbes and Pacquiao came due to the fact that he was shot, and IMO DLH's defense was plenty sharp against Mayorga, he caught a lot of the punches on his arms and countered nicely
