    I'm not picking your post apart man, but the Wright and Forrest fights were at 147 and 154 if I'm not mistaken.

    I feel in those fights he was frustrated by the lack of effect his power boxing had. At lightweight he just powered on.
    Yes but they are also some of the first people who actually tried to outbox Shane aside from Oscar who was successful early in the fight with Shane.

    Shane was good at adapting, and he was a monster at lightweight but he wasn't invulnerable, he had flaws as the Holiday fight showed, its more there wasnt really anyone at lightweight to challenge him but thats not his fault.

    But I don't think it would be an easy fight either way. The thing is Shane's style never changed, so I have no problem saying that if even Forrest was a lightweight he would have beaten shane the same way.

    When a bigger man has good boxing skills, his skills are multiplied by his size advantage. It's a huge deal when a fighter moves up a division and his success, its not easily done!

    Shane had more than a couple of flaws at Lightweight, but his physicality ensured that no Lightweight could touch him.
    At Lightweight he had the perfect physical make up.
