    Thought this was an interesting question. I know Lennox is one. I remember Lennox Lewis saying that he never faced a south paw but he sparred with a couple.

      Yeah, I was watching Mayweather vs. Zab Judah and Lewis said he never faught a south paw, I can't believe I've watched that fight about 25+ times and now managed to catch that.

        Happens in films. When you are excited you miss things and visually get a lot but audio kinda gets cut out.

        Once I rewatch a fight, I'm not gonna lie, my scoring can even change because I don't have as much adreniline. Also big fights are like 3 am here if it's in the US lol.

        I pick up on things that I havent also.

        Just googled who is the hardest heavyweight puncher.

        Rarely disputed, the hardest boxing hit was the 1952 13th round knockout of Joe Walcott by Rocky Marciano. This was a title fight with the title exchanging hands from Walcott to Rocky. The punch was a short right hand by Marciano to Walcott's head. Walcott crumbled to the ring mat and was knocked for a number of minutes. Interestingly, if Marciano had not knocked out Walcott, he would have lost the fight on a decision. This would have been his first loss. In 1956, Rocky retired undefeated at 49-0. The knockout can be viewed on YouTube.

            Not sure if they meant now or ever.

            I laughed at it, even right now

            Honestly I think that Haye needs to fight someone who can hit him and move to test his power.

            I believe a Klit has the size and style to beat Valuev by KO.

            I lke Haye a lot, and feel he can beat Vitali if he has the stamina. Wlad is a 50/50 since he has a fast jab

            PS. I believe Vitali has the raw power. Haye has the speed but on a machine Vitali, even at 39. He just can't set himself as well but his opposition are better than Haye's.

              I think that if it's gonna be a 100 ATG who hasn't faced a southpaw, it might be someone who is damn good who faced top opposition without a southpaw in the divsion at the time.

              Lewis was damn dominant and the only guy in the ehavyweight that was southpaw who was a good fighter was corrie sanders?

              Anyone else?

                I don't know, Vitali doesn't have the same power anymore. I'd say Wlad has the most power.
