    Who fought the most of southpaws?
    I know that W. Klitschko had a lot of fights with southpaws and lost to only one.

    Jones beat Johnson, Frazier, Grant, and Del Valle in back to back fights! He won all of these fights.

    He fought a right handed fighter next (David Telesco), then fought-

    Hall, Harding, and Harmon in back to back fights. He won all of these fights.

    Hopkins fought allot and has a great style against them, Tyszu looked amazing against Judah/Mitchell/Hurtado for the most part

    Just because you've beat allot of southpaws doesnt mean your great against them, ie Hatton beat a good few southpaws, but hes not very good against them

    Arguello was the most prolific of his era. Among Rey Tam, Bazooka Limon, Rolando Navarrete, Cornelius Boza Edwards, Jose Luis Ramirez, Bubba Busceme, Andy Ganigan and Jim Watt, only Tam and Busceme did not become champions. (If you accept Ganigan-O'Grady as a title fight.)

    Matthew Saad Muhammad beat Marvin Camel, Mate Parlov, Marvin Johnson 2X, and Louis Pergaud. He handed future champions Camel, Parlov and Johnson their first defeats. By the time Pergaud challenged him for his WBC Title, Matt had no doubts about how to take him out, and bombed him with hooks to the body.
