Godbox said it. Baseline Paladin and Shadow Knight melee is roughly the same, but soloing Shadow Knights have a lot more besides melee. Also, SK's solo mostly via fear kiting, which means they hit mobs in the back and benefit from the associated higher hit rate. Soloing Paladins don't generally have such a luxury.
The hardest part about soloing as a Paladin is that the class's damage potential just doesn't scale well at 45+, and particularly at 50+. Monsters in that level range gain health at a much higher proportional rate than you'll gain damage, resulting in a slower and slower kill rate.
