Which defensive style is better mayweather's shoulder roll technique or Wladimir Klitschko's stick to the basics game?
I'd say Mayweather because his lack of getting hit against high level competition.
Mayweather, take into consideration the speed of the people he's fighting, too.
Most fighters can do basics but Mayweather's defense is on a completely different level. James Toney in his prime was great too but Floyd takes hardly any punishment.
Mayweather, no contest, greatest ever makes top fighters look like amatuers.
Floyd couldn't use Wlads style. He's not always the tallest guy with the best reach in the ring.
Both are masters.
It's not about whose better its about which style is better is it better to take wild chances with ur hands down or high gaurd defense first, mostly 1-2's so as not to get countered?
If u take a top athlete say a gsp and he wanted to just do boxing would u have him use his athleticism like mayweather or standard boxing technique like Wladimir Klitschko
May weather. Not even close unless being tall is a Style.

You got this all wrong.

I did, his defence is to hold when close
Im going to put this in caps because it is not up for debate, it is proven by percentages and is fact,
PBF HAS BEEN LANDED ON LESS THEN 19% OF OPPONENTS THROWN PUNCHES. NO ONE IN HISTORY BOASTS ANYTHING REMOTELY CLOSE.
mayweather.
Mayweather. A lot of Klitschko's game is dependent on being substantially taller than his opponents.

This.
I don't think Wlad's style is defensive. Maybe aggressively defensive or cautiously aggressive would be a better description?
Wlad tends to move forward, his biggest use of lateral movement to cut off the ring and corner his opponent, and he likes to get off first. Mayweather is almost the complete opposite; he fights off the back foot in the philly shell with his lead hand low, he uses lots of lateral movement in center ring, and he rarely initiates exchanges.
this is not even debatable....pbf is a defensive genius...klitschko uses his length really well to keep opponents away
lol @ whoever suggested Mayweather lacks technique, not sure what you have been watching.
