When did Floyd need footwork against Mosley? He a couple times against Mosley because the first one was a good one-two combination, and its Shane MOsley. People are acting like he was fighting some punk, By the end MOsley only landed 20% of his punches. Marquez only landed 12% of his clearly, and in neither fight was Mayweather consistently on the ropes like he was against Hatton and Oscar, or even Jesus Chavez or Jose Luis Castillo earlier in his career. I think Floyd has realized guys won't back you up if you stand your ground. Honestly did Floyd move a lot when he faced Zab Judah either? No he didn't, because he was being the aggressor. When Floyd did move in these two fights it was only to get out of immediate danger. Both Marquez(who could catch Pacquiao moving backwards), and Mosley(who caught Collazo moving backwards) couldn't catch him quick enough.

The footspeed thing is just a lame ploy by Freddie Roach to implant either doubt in Mayweather or to attempt to throw Floyd's team off what he really would want Manny to do against Mayweather. It's as ridiculous as saying Manny has lost footspeed because he didn't use as much footspeed against Cotto or Clottey as he did against RIcky Hatton, they are different fighters who require different strategies.
