I love Shawn but he didn't win those fights, I think the Brook he was unlucky to not have a ref more strict with the clinching, he could have executed his gameplan better and possibly won, but in terms of punches landed he lost. Against Thurman and Spence I think the scoring was fair, he lost by a hair each time. Fine margins.
You make a great point...one that I always try to point out when I talk about why I rate certain fighters how I do...when you have all the edges, and win 90% of the close rounds/fights you are in, you have to factor that in when analyzing a guy who got the opposite treatment, like Lara or someone like that.
