    How come lefties have no power?

    Why is that? Some lefties, like Jirov and Judah, have decent power, but most seem to be in the mold of Byrd, Spinx, Camacho, Whitaker, Spadafora, Mitchell etc, etc, and other lefties who dominate with skill and technique, but lack punching power.

        Lefties? . . . I really don't know about this . . . but the way I look at it both some right handers and lefties have no power it's just that there are a lot more of right handers from the lefties , , , don't you think so?

              Hagler had power, but who cares.

                I forgot about the Pacman. He can crack. But surely you must agree that a much bigger percentage of lefties fall into the "cutiepie' catagory than do righties

                  i heard that hagler was a right handed boxer who fought southpaw and so was pernal whitaker.I tend to do that when i box, i feel way more confertable I don't have the same power, so i switch.

                    Marco Antonio Barrera's power is pretty decent as well.
