southpaws...

[absofsteel1977]

contrary to the popular notion of southpaws being defensive finesse boxers can any 1 list there top 3 southpaw punchers?

 

[MongoFett]

Marvin Hagler
Naseem Hamed
Sultan Ibragimov
Ruslan Chagaev

These are the only big hitting lefties i can think of right now.

 

[Cracky]

Michael Moorer is up there. He could really swat. Though I heard he wasnt a genuine southy. I heard he switched to make his lead hand more powerful.

 

[absofsteel1977]

Manny Pacquiao must be up there

 

[absofsteel1977]

i think it must be noted that there is a lot more right hand converted southpaws in the last 15 years

Zab judah has some pop.

Paq of the current guys. And Judah.

There are a lot of left handers converting to orthodox stance. I was considering doing that during my amateur days. I would of had better ram-rod jab and left hook. However, I was just not comfortable with the position. Stayed with my southpaw stance.

Probably a good call. A lot of guys who convert over to having their power handas a lead end up one handed fighters.

Let's just say I rather have my straight left than a ram-rob left jab. And even though my right jab wasn't effective, my right hooks to the body and uppercut were decent.

Pac, Zab, Chad come to mind as current lefty bangers.
