What's with this myth that Floyd's weakness is southpaws?

There wouldn't be a myth if his daddy would learn to stfu. Like with many things involving Floyd when it comes to boxing, his dad makes things even worse for him. No doubt Floyd would have fought Manny by now if it wasn't for SR putting fear in Floyd.

You can't call it a myth if he's fighting average southpaws.
It's the fact that he has to fight out of the high guard, and does in fact get hit the hardest against southpaws.
He can't rely on the shoulder roll the way he wants, unless on the ropes.

He has a few bad habits against them. For instance, he tend to back up in a straight line and that's not something that you want to do to avoid the straight left hand. Sometimes, he'll duck low under it which is a common defensive tactic. All I'm saying is as great as Floyd is at judging distance, he'll have problems against southpaws who understand foot placement and won't hesitate to shoot their straight left hand when they have the angle. Other than that, he knows how to get off first and find the angle to land his own straight right hand.
