How come lefties have no power?

Calzaghe has decent power for a southpaw.

There are plenty of powerful southpaws. A lot of them use Southpaws are neither more nor less powerful than right handers, at least not on average. The difference is in the focus. The minute they step into the ring they have a natural advantage, becuse they're harder for a right hander to hit than another right hander. They have this natural awkwardness which they exentuate by boxing well. Look at Vassiliy Jirov. As an amateur, he was a great boxer. After he turned pro he decieded to be all puncher. All he did was change the focuz of his training.

Who do you think has a harder punch Corrie Sanders or Tyson? Tyson's looks harder because of the way he throws it but I have seen Sanders rock opponents head's back with his left.

As far as Pernell Whitaker goes..Of his few knock-outs and knock-downs a couple of them came from one-punchers..

I always thought Joel Casamayor had pretty decent power, and he's a leftie...right? Damn, now ya'll got me doubting myself!

I am going to go with Sanders. I have heard several fighters admit that Sanders was the hardest puncher they have ever fought or sparred with. It's too bad his stamina is probabably the worst in the division.

Okay, Joel is a south paw...of this I'm sure (just dont ask me nothing else )

Casamayor does have very good power and yeah he is a southpaw and a tough one as well. Just ask Corrales why he don't want to give Casamayor a rubbermatch.

if corries sanders trained harder and wasn't lazy he could be the best heavyweight out there, also I believe that Antonio tarver has really good power for a left hander hell he KO'D ROY JONES, HES PRETTY POWERFUL.
