    Stamina to fight all of 12 rounds at a high pace, just like Mayweather himself.

    A long stiff jab like De La Hoya, to use while coming in.

    The courage/tenacity of Ricky Hatton.

    The ability to soak shots up like Baldomir.

    Intelligent pressure, ala Roberto Duran.

    Constant bobbing and weaving as you close the distance, Joe Frazier style, to negate those sharp counters as best as possible while landing your own firepower.

    And of course, at least average speed of both hands and feet to actually land punches in the first place and to bull him against the ropes.

    …..Is there anyone out there who has all of these qualities? Because if there isn’t, Mayweather is going to either retire unbeaten or only lose after his speed and reflexes have eroded due to age, and even then it won’t be easy due to his very solid technical foundation.

        A prime Oscar had great stamina, you need a boxing history lesson.

                Well, he did let out gas midget in front of the whole world during his 24//7 appearance. Not sure if it was the beans.

                But, with all due respect, all the fighters Floyd fought, had a master plan to beat him, and all came up short.

                So, to beat Mayweather, he has to be in the same condition he was in when he sparred Spadafora.

                Which we're not likely to witness any time soon.

                  How can you say that when Mayweather doesn't really start to fight until the mid rounds, the first few he paces himself, conserves energy and waits for the other to gas out then he steps up the heat. I doubt if Mayweather went 12 straight rounds fighting hard he would not gas. Mayweather is smart for doing this though.
