I don't see Shane having the consistency or focus to win the majority of the rounds, but I see him pushing Pernell and forcing him to reach that "final/great" level to pull out the win.

No doubt Shane is a tough fight for an LW in history.

For me, LW comes down to Pernell, Duran and Shane. Duran had the better LW legacy and was champ for longer, but I have to go with Pernell against both of them.
