He will definetly need to use every angle he has to land clean on Mayweather which will be very hard for him, but I don't think it's fair to rule him out because he looked slow or flatfooted against Mayorga... I mean it worked fine for that fight.
Mayweather stood in against Gatti, Ndou, Corley, and he never looked like that. I think Ricardo was just throwing wild shots, and he caught Oscar a few times with shots Oscar should have seen comming like that huge uppercut in the third or fourgth round. Oscar was just countering poorly, and he had troubles being able to evade and counter Mayorga punches which forced him to block them with his gloves because ultimately any boxer would prefer to slip the punch then counter, but if he can't get out of the way of Mayorga's punches then he might have no answer for Mayweather's punches.
