Once Thor figures out what's up (Shaw likes to gloat about his powers after the first hit he absorbs), he could just lift Shaw over his head and there'd be little Shaw could do about it.
That actually wouldn't prevent Shaw from hitting Thor and thus building up more strength. And if Thor held him in such a way as to prevent him from moving, that'd probably require a strong enough grip that the force he was applying would be absorbed and empower Shaw.
Not saying he'd win, just that you didn't necessarily give a win scenario for Thor.

oi.... don't think shaw can win, but he could make it a fight. even if he can approach thor's strength (and i don't think he can), thor still has it all over him in terms of durability and skill.
also Shaw is a very good h2h fighter.

i think shaw will only get so strong though, and his durability would peak. shaw's an all right brawler (not sure what you're basing his skills on) from what i've seen of him, but i'd still say thor is better. i doubt speed would be an issue in any way at all. i think thor would simply outlast shaw in terms of strength and durability.
