I agree that Mayweather hasnt fought enough southpaws to be in this list....
But Judah gave him trouble for 4 rounds after that he was figured out and had to low blow to stop himself getting KO'd
Victor Ortiz was getting better???!!?? Now I know you're a hater
The Judah fight is your opinion, I have mine. Judah was actually outboxing Mayweather at times in the first half of the fight, and then he collapsed like he always does in the second half (I'm sure Uncle Roger helped) of his fights, that's why he's a mediocre opponent.
About Ortiz, you can't deny he was getting better with the rounds, just look at the compubox numbers. He wouldn't have beat Mayweather anyway though; it would have probably ended 118-110 or 117-111.
The only good/decent southpaws Mayweather fought are Judah, who gave Floyd one of his toughest fights (prior to getting choked by Uncle Roger), and the average Victor Ortiz who was getting better as the fight wore on until he got hit by a couple cheap shots. Two southpaws Floyd should have fought are Pacquiao(2008-10) and Paul Williams(2007-2010), but we can only but speculate how he would have done against the two.

Oh my bad, I have heard of southpaws going orthodox, but can't remember many orthodox fighters going southpaw.
Dawson is another one. It's the same principle of having your strongest arm as your lead arm.
Hopkins is an obvious pick. One thing to keep in mind is that southpaws prior to recent times were pretty rare at the highest level. Hagler was one of the first really elite southpaw champions in boxing history.
Didn't he fight as an orthodox (even though he was left-handed)? I know he switched stances in-between fights sometimes though.
