That is real true. At 135 I thought shane was great because he would not only bob and weave, but hit you as he weaved under. His first fight at 147 was Rivera and I've always thought that, at some point, Rivera hurt him, or he somehow felt the strength of a welterweight, because he fought differently from there forward, his whole career. There was a hesitancy that hadn't been there before.
