    I think Mayweather Jr is one of those....he always fight very well against southpaws, that right hand always is impressive against them....

    Anyone else ?

    Barrera, even though he lost to Pacquaio twice.

    Kostya Tszyu handled southpaws with relative ease - including Judah, Rodriguez, Mitchell twice, Chaves.

    Harry Greb. Being a southpaw never did a fighter any good against him. Beat Al McCoy and Johnny Wilson several times apiece and lost controversially to Tiger Flowers twice when well past his best.

    Roy Jone JR. Seems I remember him fighting a lot of southpaws.

    Tsyu for sure. He was excellent at setting up that laser-guided icbm of a right hand.

    Mayweather has had problems with southpaws in the past, most notably Judah. In fact taht was one of the things that made Mayweather V Pacquiao an interesting match up. We didn't get to see much from Ortiz the tree but it appeared Floyd was catching him flush at will with that lead right hand. I was so pissed I paid for that fight lol
