Pacquiao was but by the time they fought he had became a lot more stationary just go back & look at his fights with Bradley/Rios,

Plus he was the faster combination puncher of the two as for footwork part is where Floyd did very well, it also helps when one fighter is coming at you all night & you're on retreat & can rely on having a huge ring to evade as opposed to the other way around.

Perhaps one guy is just better than the other guy!

this is a hard one. i keep going back and forth. i just dont feel either one has been tested at a level where they themselves are being touted as being. both have lots of talent, and both have weaknesses that could get them caught. i just feel there is more unknown upside to ryan.
ive seen enough of tank to know him well enough to see the consistency in certain things he does. hes smart. hes in there looking for patterns. and when he sees them hes quick on the trigger in his timing. zhang has the same quality, except zhang isnt as good as davis at seeing them in real time, as they are happening. if ryan is repetitive in any of his moves, hes getting caught.
now ryan, hes got a left hook that appears atg, even better than dlh. his is natural, instinctual. in the last few years they have honed it quite a bit through technique. improved his balance, taught him to throw it compactly, inside the opponent. he can hurt tank. i just dont know if ryan can keep the odds in his favor during the fight, by keeping the fight at the distance where you can do damage but he cant, and then timing him with that left when he does press forward. he hasnt been tested under enough conditions for me to feel confident he can maintain. its sink or swim time for ryan.

I am sorry but that is a pretty dumb analysis because he was not losing those fights at all. Check the scorecards. The key thing is all these guys were quality fighters and 3 were reigning world champions with 2 of them being undefeated when beat them and invariably he provided the necessary sepration against guys who came to win. Your examples just show how outstanding Tank is.

Were any of them actual champions or were they all 'regular' champions?

None of them were really champions.
Neither Tank nor Ryan have fought a real championship fight in their lives.

Same way people thought Pacquiao was faster than Floyd until they fought and the fools realised that Floyd was quicker! In the ring Quickness beats fastness because it’s in the mind. Garcia is going to get knocked out senseless!
