Some fighters get more than others, and maybe your trainer has to tell you a few things because that's what you are doing wrong. Mayweather rarely does things wrong, but also, Roger has rarely got in a situation where Floyd is in trouble. Castillo was beating Floyd down to the body in the first fight, and Roger told him to basically to and fight to to toe, which IMO made it worse because Castillo was hitting him, even if there was an injury. I am not sure if he gave good advice in the Cotto fight as well, because tactically that played into Cotto's hands.
I have seen the padwork done on Kids on YouTube, and it's pretty good for some speed, but IMO it doesn't really make you defensive. It's a set routine that he will do with one kid, jump to the next and they all repeat and then do a full cycle and do it again. Defense is about footwork and body/head movement, which you should try and practice in sparring more than anything.
