As a guy who used to throw big bombs on the heavybag myself I know full well if you're loading up on 1 shot at a time AND trying to pick a spot to throw the punch then you're burning serious energy and all that bouncing around Shane did was useless. I have never seen Floyd use that more orthodox defense that often...it looked as if the left hook to the body was wide open. Shane needed to set up the right hand but Floyd negated everything he did with speed and defense.
You do have to wonder what would have been the case had a younger fresher fighter with good power caught Floyd. I have to admit that given the way Pacquiao looked vs De la Hoya, Hatton, and Cotto and had he landed a flush punch on Floyd as opposed to Shane landing the punch then you have to wonder how Floyd would have taken it.
