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
Sugar Shane had the guts and testicular fortitude to fight the top prime fighters at their best... unlike Floyd's cherry-picking from 2003 till 2011. Hatton's the sole top prime guy that Floyd fought in that entire time.
Diego Corrales was not in his prime?
He was but so was Casamajor and Frietas and the fights never happened, as well as Cotto and Kostya.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
