Roach said this before the Mosley fight. And what I believe he means is that Mayweather can't use his footwork the way he used to.
In the Corrales and Castillo II fights, you see Mayweather in his prime using nonstop footwork to keep them off balance and never letting them get set. He's able to be constantly on the move, stop, pot shot or shoot a combination, and keep it moving. He could do that for 12 rounds strong without wearing down.
Now, although he still has the explosion and spring in his legs and can still use his footwork for short bursts, it seems as if he can't keep it moving at the overdrive speed he used to. He can still keep it moving, but only at a strolling speed, where he eventually has to stop.
What I feel he's implying there is that he sees Mayweather not being able to stay on the move at a speed where he can stay away from Pacquiao. Basically having to constantly stop in front of Pacquiao and having to stand and fight or stand and defend. And he must like Pacquiao's chances, if it comes to that.
That's my interpretation of it.

floyd adapts in fights and with jmm and shane he didnt have to use his legs but also inactivity plays a part aswell

He didn't seem flat footed at all to me.
I'm quite sure the only reason people say this is because Roach said it.
