no more than anyone else
i assume this is about pac,he will be ahead after 6 rounds then mayweather will adapt and start too time him with rights over and over again
just my opinion

A little bit but I really do not think it is that much trouble for him because his money punch is the southpaw killer. Although I think a lefty does have a much better shot at really catching him with a big shot, but that really did not help Corley or Judah win.

SHARMBA rocked him at the end of first or second round with clean left hand so
if boxing GOD Pacman connects it will be lights out party over!
And he lost first five rounds against JUDAH.

Not really, more or less he struggles with speedy guys. Then adjusts and wins.

He was troubled by the guys who forward really fast.

Pac has everything to beat Mayweather. He'll easily be the best guy Mayweather has ever faced.

Almost all fighters are troubled by southpaws...even southpaws themselves.

not only that he will be troubled by lefties but he will also struggle using his shoulder roll. shoulder roll is weak against southpaws cause of the weird angles

He seems to be more aggressive (therefore, hittable) against southpaws.

The shot that Corley landed that stunned PBF in round 4 came at a strange angle. Sort of an overhand right that landed with an unusual part of the glove, then Corley followed up with a straight left. Judah landed with the counter left uppercut and straight left in the early going, then again Judah does that against just about everyone.

Many orthodox fighters have trouble with southpaws.

One problem is that your right glove is usually attached to the right side of your chin to fend off left hooks from orthodox fighters. Against lefties, the angle on the left hand is different, and sometimes goes through the guard. Obviously you see Pacquiao do this quite a bit.

On the other hand, jabs are often hard to land against lefties (although Morales landed it consistently against Pacquiao the first time around) and left hooks and straight right hands are vital. Mayweather has perhaps the most effective straight right hand in the sport, and his left hook is effective too. Actually, Mayweather has just about every punch in the book.
