^ sorry to tell you this but there are several holes in that theory. Not trying to hate, but it makes little sense.

An undeniable fact is that Sonic can defeat Shadow (and yes, Shadow tries his best for each fight). Another fact is that when Sonic and Knuckles fight, it almost always ends in a tie. Shadow < Sonic. Sonic = Knuckles.

Need more proof? Shadow's only hope for defeating Sonic (or Knuckles) is his Chaos powers. Shadow's chaos powers won't work against Knuckles. Without those, he has no hope of ever beating Knuckles.
