Think about this: it is 1999. Shane is #2 p4p and Floyd is, like, #17 p4p. Hot prospect/contender making a name.
Shane comes to Floyd's dressing room to wish him luck (that speaks volumes in and of itself):
Shane says : I just wanted to wish you good luck. You are a terrific fighter.
Floyd says: Thanks man. I'm just trying to do like you - trying to get to where you're at.
Shane: Thanks. Have a great fight.
Floyd: Thanks. Later.
That is a conversation that takes place ALL THE TIME. we saw that exact convo take place with Floyd and Andre Ward. And Floyd and Chad Dawson.
In Floyd's mind, Shane is trying to use a professional courtesy against him.
