In those fights Floyd really looked the part but you would do against guys of that calibre . Technical ability id give Floyd the edge over Shane. We dont really know about who has teh better chin but my guess would be Shane .

I just feel Floyds never met a guy like Shane before and he amost dropped decisions to guys like Castillo and a washed up Oscar so I reckon Shane has a real chance here .
Mayweather wasn't throwing his fastest punches against Judah, most of them were range finders. Also against Oscar he did have a lot of lightning speed in his punches just watch how fast his jabs are, and he was fighting at 154 against a guy who could take his punches... Look at the difference between Mosley-Vargas 1 or 2 then Mosley-Collazo... you can't punch as fast backing up or against a guy who you need to punch your hardest against every punch. Mosley flicks a lot of punches which give the impression of speed, but the punches he really tries to put power behind aren't rediculously fast. Also watch Oscar against Mayorga and then against Mayweather he is punching twice as fast vs. Mayweather because 1. he isn't afraid of PBF's power, and 2. he was able to come forward. Other things to watch is how fast Mayweather transists from moving backwards into leaping or jumping in, and then getting back out again. At one point he counters Oscar's left hook with an uppercut and still has enough time to duck the hook. Mayweather has incredible upperbody speed, handspeed, and footspeed. The two things I think people don't realize is Mayweather isn't a fast combination puncher because he thinks before he throws every punch in a combination unless its a one-two.
