In his fight with mosley, he clearly showed everybody his offensive skill is still there.

Its a good theory but Floyd is too disciplined to fall into the trap, he is happy just landing one or two potshots now and then. He won't get frustrated and fall into those kind of traps.

When opposing Floyd there are certain things you should throw out the window
1.Fear of being countered
2.Frustration
3.Fear of a boring fight
You have to take whatever is give to you. You have to be DISCIPLINED and most of all yo need one of the best jabs around. I agree with your premise DD. Only problem is Floyd adjusts so well if you get defensive he will switch up his game and attack (ala Judah) and he is more than happy to fight inside (ala Hatton).

You see plenty of these feather-fisted guys who do well against B competition. But once they step up, they flounder. The opponent realizes "Oh, ****, I can't feel his punches".
See hatton-malignaggi.

Watch this.
@ 7:40, Judah lands his Sunday punch. A nice straight left. He then tries to force the action on the ropes, but realizes Mayweather isn't hurt and backs off.
BUT...he doesn't back off all the way. And in the next 30 seconds, Floyd digs Judah hard to the body four times. And the fight turned from there.
My point is that Judah should NOT have been there to absorb those body shots.

Lennox talks about how Floyd needs to put another punch at the end of the lead right, and then Floyd makes it happen. That some crazy awareness.

Standing still waiting for Mayweather would not be the smartest thing a boxer can do against him. Are people forgetting about his accuracy, and precision in the ring? Mayweather is arguably the most precise and accurate fighter on the planet. If you stand still waiting for him he will find you, as well as smack you on the chin. His speed is unforeseeable to most; not to many fighters can cope with it. Thus, why his accuracy level is so high. You can't be defensive against him, nor can you outbox him. Those are two of his best traits, and no one is surpassing them. You simply can't out think Mayweather.
