    I mean he trains hard and always looks in good shape bar the Sturm fight, But is it the fact he cant relax in the ring that contributes to his gassing out? And has Mayweather got the best stamina because of his style or genetics?

    Mayweather has good stamina that seems better because he does so little in the ring.

    Oscar has bad stamina that's compounded by the fact that he seems to get scared in the second half of fights. He's seemingly terrified of getting hurt, which means he either runs (Tito), quits (Hopkins) or switches off (Mayweather) when he gets tired. That's why Oscar is a "coulda/shoulda/woulda" boxer when it comes to his legacy.

    Oscar does have a conditioning problem, that is plain as day. He could have beaten Tito, and Mayweather if he had the ABILITY, to stand and fight the last 4 rounds. He does not have that ability in a competitive fight.

    I feel he has the ability as a natural but I think it has to do with more of how hes always trained. Cant teach an old dog new tricks.

    No, I don't think he has bad stamina, but he does tire in every fight. It has to do with his boxing style -- when De la Hoya fights he's very focussed, twitchy, concentrated, tense, however you want to call it. You can see it in his body language, but the severity differs from fight to fight.

    For instance, in his match with Mayorga he seemed very relaxed, and I do not think even if that fight had gone the distance that he would have tired as he normally does.

    Against Mayweather, an opponent who is much more threatening and has much more speed, it's clearly visible.

    bad stamina, but more he doesn't want to get his ass knocked out for real. That's why he ran in a couple of fights and took a dive against Hopkins. When the going gets tough chicked De La Hoya runs for the hills.

    Mayweather does so little. Hmm... does that include outlanding his opponents in every fight?

    Oscar was knocked out against Hopkins.

    In terms of expending energy Mayweather does little....he is a master of just doing enough in every round to win the ten points.

    Both where dead tired in that 12th and when he KOed Vargas in 11 I dont think either guy was more tired then the other just Oscar hurt him badly in the 10th with the left hook.

    He has some some performances where he shows good stamina all the way through like Quartey and Vargas for instance but a lot of times he does fade late. I'd say that he is the kind of fighter that wears down but always remains dangerous

    He has problem staying relaxed when facing elite, thats why he seems to get tired, and he doesnt fight enough so it doesnt help
