I think he fact that Floyd fought Oscar at 154 and beat him, looks better than Cotto beating a Shane who is further past it then first thought.

Shane still has a great chin and amazing power but no longer boxes, Shane seems happy to try to knock his opponents out.

Delahoya however cann box still (Mayweater/ Forbes) or knock an opponent out (Mayorga) i think the difference in this instance has been peoples pereption of the fighters.

Mayweather/ Oscar are hated so any fight involving these too is looked upon in a negative light Cotto/ Sugar Shane are loved so this fight is looked at in a positive light!

But when you look at this objectively in my opinion a win over this Delahoya means a lot more than a win over this new one dimensional Shane.
