They say this **** every single time mayweather fights a southpaw. Its already been discussed. Mayweather has fought way more southpaws than the average fighter. Theyve done the statistics before, the % of fights the average fighter has vs southpaws and mayweather has way more than that. I think he is around 9-10+ southpaws.
Ones I can think of:
Manny
Guerrero
Ortiz
Judah
Mitchell
Corley
agustus - switch hitter
But surely an 0-0 southpaw will bother mayweather.

floyd is the most famous fighter in the world, one of the best fighters of all time and you think that boxing trainers dont analyze his style?

Floyd having a southpaw weakness is a total myth. People see the fact he has got the shoulder roll technique nailed, and pair that with the fact it doesn't work vs left handers ... well it's not exactly a news flash to anyone who knows what they are looking at that Floyd doesn't JUST use the shoulder roll is it? He has other tools, other approaches.
Plus, lot of casuals hopping on the Floyd vs southpaw myth seem to miss the fact that Manny Pacquiao is a southpaw and is lightyears ahead of Mcgregor in boxing. Mayweather beat him only two fights back. Go figure.
Floyd isn't at any level of disadvantage versus southpaws just because the shoulder roll doesn't work.
