    No. I think he prefers them. He averages 50% power punches vs southpaws

    Thats the weird thing he is actually more aggressive against Southpaws than orthodox boxers! So the notion he struggles with them does seem misplaced :think

    Only one that gave him the slightest bit of an issue was judah, and I think that had more to do with him being just as, if not more, athletically gifted than floyd.

    They have troubled him early but thats the case with all southpaws and no two fighters are the same so with Corley thats a different style than Judah or say Guerrero, I have no idea why people say this because the guys who gave floyd his toughest fights were both Orthodox.

    However that south paw style can give Floyd style problems if they use it right...

    Prime pac (Hatton Cotto fight) would give Floyd some trouble early due to speed southpaw stance also the power... But Floyd would eventually start to drive Manny back, and Manny doesnt fight well going backwards, only 1 fight did he do very well and that was with Cotto...
    Floyds right hand would put pac to sleep around the 8th round this is a prime pac, Today, probably 6th... maybe less depending on how damaged Manny is at this stage.

    Williams has the size and work rate to make it very difficult for Floyd, I suggest Floyd wins a MD if faces the same Paul that Margarito faced.

    Judah dropped him and won first 4 rounds against him and Floyd needed a dirty shot to stop Ortiz walking through him!

    your math is off. Judah clearly lost the third round. Floyd dished out more punishment than Zab did in the fourth

    and then mayweather beat him for the next 8 rounds.

    For ortiz, ill admit it would of been extremely interesting to see how the fight played out the longer it went on so i was quite dissapointed when mayweather did what he did, but in rounds 3 and 4 mayweather was painting ortiz's face
