Yes 3 in his last 30 fights. Not a overwelming ratio I think. Let me ask, How come Baldomir looked better against Zab Judah than Mayweather, then was dominated by Mayweather when they fought? I will explain my point. Judah's southpaw style gave Mayweather trouble.

Admittly this isn't relevent as Hatton is orthodox but it is a fact often overlooked about the best fighter in the game today.
That had nothing to do with it. Some fighters get up for certain fights & perform better. Styles makes fights & that's a fact. But that dosen't just mean orthodoxed/southpaw. The 3 in 30 ratio is (10%). Why do u think that is? There are many factors here. This is business.But don't think for a minute that it was because they were intentionally staying away from southpaws. How many lucrative fights with ranked southpaws do u beleive made sense (Particularly $$$)when PBF's handlers were making his fights? I'll go out on a limb & say -not many.

This is all stemming from u posting that he wouldn't fight a southpaw. He fights whoever his people put oin front of him. There are many determining factors when putting together these big fights. Fighting stance is not one that one of them in PBF's case.

This thread has been talkin about PBF vs Hatton. Why even bring up a southpaw here?

It ever cross ur mind that the fact that Zab is a fast, strong, & gifted fighter that was bringing it gave PBF a few issues. And not because he was southpaw.
