you gotta say floyd to be fair is one of them. his numbers vs southpaws are off the charts compared to orthodox and even those numbers are great. it has alot to do with him not being able to fully use the philly shell shoulder roll, vs southpaws he comes out in the high guard or a half shell combo, he also pushes more to get his shots off first and goes more to the body so he can utilize movement in the late rounds he cant use so much in the early rounds. hes alot more aggressive and offensive minded.

Yes

Wish we got to see him vs Casamayor and Lara

pacquiao was good but these two are highly educated lefties

Roy Jones was good against them in the '90s.

Well grandpa Bernard...Bernard definitely. Marquez as well. And one person no one seems to mention and recognise... Salido! He fights southpaws extremely well. He's not just a brawler. The way he picks apart southpaws and throws that lead right straight/hook from a distance is incredible.

Toney beat quite a few lefties as well. Nunn and Jirov are the first to come to mind.

But he went life and death with both, they are top fighters too.

True same with Reggie Johnson.

Hopkins and Roy Jones defended against plenty.
