How come lefties have no power?

[cple]

There aren't many power punching southpaws because, well, there aren't many southpaws period. However, there have been many lefties with devastating power...

Khaosai Galaxy
Naseem Hamed
Jose Luis Ramirez
Marvin Hagler
Michael Moorer...at 175

Barrera is a "Lefty" turned orthodox.

the thread is titled "why dont Lefties got power"

Corry Sanders has devastating power!!! I think that the thing about most lefthanded fighters being true righthanded fighters is pretty accurate... Well I guess not cause Tyson was a converted southpaw!!!

[leff]

Well because ther eisent so many southpows.

Looks like people forgets about Corrie Sanders he`s a southpow and he got devestating power.

Good question. Only a hand full of southpaw fightets have power, a vast majority are very slick fighters!

It pays to be a tricky when your a southpaw, most southpaws i know work a lot more on slick skills than power so they can take full advantage of stance.

I switch hit and i can punch either way, its not just me saying that, my coach is very impressed with my power in either stance and either hand, so i dont think there is any real reason for southpaws to be weaker, other than the way they train.

You only have to look at pacman to see how hard some southpaws can punch.

tarver has a big punch. he's got a damn good left come to think about it...

[Kimmy]

Is it true Tyson is a converted soutpaw. i know De La Hoya is and Barrera, and of course Moorer but i don`t think Tyson is, can someone confirm this!
