    Can you name a fighter that did great against southpaws?

    I remember when I was watching Pacquiao vs David Diaz, Jim Lampley was saying Manny did even better when he faced a southpaw and he did beat the Hell out of David Diaz but that was David Diaz. I haven't seen manny against another southpaws before so i don't know if that is true. Anyway, that raises a good question. Is there a fighter that did even better against a southpaw? They can be tricky to fight but was there a fighter who did great against them?

          I believe Bernard Hopkins was undefeated in something like 12 fights against southpaws until he faced Sir Joseph

                Miguel Cotto is the most recent guy I can remember who thrashed the hell out of southpaw Sergio Martinez.

                  Forgot about him. Lol. He was good vs southpaws. That Zab KO was one of the funniest ever.

                    Southpaws are much more abundant nowadays, so it would be hard to tell. Even if you could find someone who has faced 10 southpaws in a row, were they southpaws of any note?
