The only thing that will ever hold Shawn back is his height, the HW's now are all 6'4-6'5 and have the reach. In terms of pure athletisism there aren't many guys that are more athletic, there are more physically gifted guys, but not many more athletic.
Shawn's got heart, competitivness, strength, and the right mental disposition to do very well in fighting... It's all in front of him but I can tell you this, I talked to him yesterday and he's already bitching about not being able to start training again for a few weeks. He's even more hungry after Saturday night.

That's good to hear.
Also, I expect to see him much trimmer in future bouts - that extra weight helped on the football field, but is a killer in the ring.

That's good to hear that he's got resolve and isn't moping. Height, esp just a couple inches, can be neutralized with aggressiveness and ground game. IMO fwiw. And I say that bc I'm 6'5" and dabble in martial arts. (dabble might even be a stretch).
