THe difference in his speed from then to now is less than Meldrick Taylor's speed changed in one fight. If you look at Mosley in slow motion his speed is nearly the same, not quite, but nearly.
Your opinion...plenty of other people on this board think different. As far as your ridiculous statement that Shane is stronger now than back in the day...just look at his KO % in recent years. The majority of his knockouts came at his great reign at lightweight. And yes...he was MUCH faster back in the day as well. His bulking up in recent years (legally or not), as well as AGE, took away from his speed, fluidity and crispness on punches.
