How do you think it's a bad match?
Because before I made my previous post, I thought to myself, "Maybe they're picking Shane because they think the style matchup favors him..."
But then I broke the fight down in my head and:

Whitaker is clearly better technically... I think everyone would agree on this
Whitaker is better defensively.... I think everyone agrees here too
Whitaker has faster hands...I'm sure some would argue it's even here, but I disagree
Whitaker has faster and better feet.... Mosley was never really a mover, he was always straight ahead
The only edge I see for Mosley is power, and I think Whitaker proved he could take anyone's best punch. Mosley's not going to KO someone who a prime Trinidad couldn't even KO, and I don't see how Mosley wins on points

No disrespect to Mosley, but I just always viewed him as clearly below the top tier of lightweights (Duran, Whitaker)
