I always thought that Mayweather did this for conservative reasons. To preserve his arms from wear and tear, while still keeping the reflexes sharp.
Some fighters leave the best punches in the gym and don't have it on fight time. Or at the very least, their mitt work erodes their skills over time and multiple training camps. Injuries start to build up etc,. Still, I can see how his style of doing things is useless if that's all a fighter is doing on the mitts.
