    Southpaw World Champions: Past & Present

    My question is, out of all the southpaw World Champions, which were right handed?

    Sweat Pea, Chad Dawson, Marvin Hagler, Manny Pacquiao, Miguel Cotto, Zab Judah, Edwin Valero, etc, etc, etc?

    Dawson is a righty and so was Spadafora, SRR, Winky, Carmen Basilio.

    Hagler...Pac-Man

      Well, kind of. Some of the ones I mentioned weren't, but I know Dawson is, and I think Pacquiao is right handed.

      Also, it's hard to start any discussion that doesn't involve Floyd vs. Pac.

          they say pac is ambidextrous but he signs with his right.

          that's why I'm in here.

          no freakin floyd-pac.

          i drank with iron mike in a club once, he was drinking with his left, i'm left handed and I usually drink with my left too. i thought that was interesting
