I agree he was a damn good fighter. But he isn't as good as the flash suggests. People overrate fast punchers. We can see them beaten repeatedly and people still pick them.
Look at Tyson, dude was trash by the time he fought Lewis but it was really easy to get action in that no contest.
Shane is a great, he's just not as great as some think.

BTW while Shane did face terrible competition prior to his title fight(like making Wilder appear brave bad) he got it faster than the 6 years I suggested. Not sure how I remembered that wrong
