      Just the way I see it.
      Sr was saying in the corner how Guerrero slows down speed wise

      And roger was repeating in the corner to Floyd that Oscar is gonna get tire . "Down the stretch we gonna get him"

      And yea main reason is to get comfortable with opponent like you said

      Unlike Hopkins who primarily would wait for his opponents to tired so he can capitalise on mistakes later on in the fight, and it cost him vs taylor

        That was when Hopkins really slowed down. Even up until the Tito fight, Hops would make you tire. Trinidad was known for his exceptional stamina and he looked like a woman in labor during the latter rounds.

          If Pac somehow pulls off the upset, my party will thrive off that energy. It will get wild.
          .if Floyd wins it will be somewhat expected and people will start to filter out soon after.

          Regardless, it's gonna be a party! I can't wait!

                It began at the third Allen fight just before he hit his 40s

                And continued with the Eastman, Oscar and Taylor fights

                And up at LHW

                Big part of it is his legs and stamina.

                He can't fight going forward anymore because of his legs. He isn't athletic enough anymore to jump in. He can't dance around the ring. He tried to vs joe and gassed. Then he started dragging his feet around the ring like an old man should starting with the pavlik fight.


                Mentally, where Hopkins and Floyd differ are that Hopkins thinks a lot about his opponent and his gameplan, whereas Floyd has claimed he doesn't watch tape and I believe him . Hopkins thinks about the things to the point that he overthinks . He starts seeing things that are not there.

                And he is more of a chess player than Floyd. The right hand was open vs Taylor. He didn't throw it early on because he didn't want Taylor to realise he's open for it and then adjust. He waited until Taylor tired so that his onslaught would be more effective and Taylor wouldn't have time to adjust .
                Floyd can rely more on his natural abilities.

                      Two Mexican workshops are involved in production of the exquisite World Boxing Council Emerald belt that will be awarded to the winner of the “Fight of the Century” between eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao and undefeated, pound for pound NO.1 Floyd Mayweather Jr at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 2.

                      The WBC said the Emerald belt proudly manufactured in Mexico has been assigned to two workshops that are in charge of creating the WBC belt from Ferrari leather, containing 3,000 emeralds and one kilo of gold.

                      WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman considers what has been described as “an incredible belt, priceless and an authentic work of art. A unique piece for a unique event.”

                      The Emerald belt which reportedly costs $1 million was chosen by a majority of the fans in a poll conducted by the WBC by a 53 to 47 percent margin over the Onyx version of the belt.
                      Pacquiao had the honor of winning the first WBC Diamond Belt when he scored a 12th round TKO over Miguel Cotto on November 14, 2009.

                      While the key to a result in the Megafight between undefeated pound for pound No.1 Floyd Mayweather Jr and eight division world champion Manny Pcquiao may be in a left right combinations or a left or right cross but the WBC earlier said there is no correct or even-handed way to slap a price tag on the unique World Boxing Council emeralds encrusted belt.

                      WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman, responding to a series of questions about the cost of the “Championship Belt of Belts” has said “it's impossible to value, it's incalculable, so it doesn’t have a price.”

                      Sulaiman pointed out that the luxurious and priceless work of art will contain 3,000 emeralds making it the object of abject green envy.

                      He said that just as with the special Gold Belt that Mayweather won after his victory over Saul “Canelo” Alvarez the WBC Emerald belt will be presented at what is expected to be a memorable press conference.

                      The first specially crafted Diamond Belt exclusively for elite fighters was won by Pacquiao when he scored a 12th round TKO over Miguel Cotto in November 14, 2009.

                      The WBC Diamond belt was manufactured using the same design as the traditional belt but the materials imclude 18K golsd fusion, 598 diamonds, 196 emeralds and 150 Swarovsky semi precious stones.
