Oscar has had problems with conditioning and fighting all three minutes of all 12, that won't be a factor here.
Why would those things all of a sudden not be a factor here? Do we know for a fact that he's training harder or better for this fight than any of his previous fights?
I think Oscar is in great shape for this fight, but I don't see why his stamina will all of a sudden be better at age 34 than it was in his 20s.

I think roach's strong point is conditioning (just look at pacquiao)
Uh... look at James Toney.
Its plain to see that Toney and roach have a strange relationship..He prepares james to fight..

You think theres any trainer out there that can get toney in shape better? ..Or in fact atall..
James is james and i wouldnt have him anyway..But his conditioning is no fault of anybody's but james toney's
It was more a joke than anything. Someone said Roach's strength is his conditioning, and the image of Fattoney was the first thing to appear in my head. Agree that Toney's been around too long to be broken by a trainer. By the same token though, I don't credit Roach for Pacquiao's conditioning either--Pac is just an athletic freak--he looks like he's in phenomenal shape even when he's been out of the gym for months.
