    Southpaw v Orthodox best fights...?

    With both main fights yesterday being fairly disappointing and the reasoning being put down to a poor clash of styles with the sloppy southpaw v orthodox matchups, which fights throughout history have actually been real exciting wars between southpaws and orthodox fighters?

    Also, in your personal opinions, what is the main reasoning when such a matchup just cannot come to life, and what is the key element of ensuring a good and watch-able fight when these styles mesh?

    Name/list your fights and discuss

    Sweet Pea vs Black Mamba
    Hagler vs Duran

        Pascal has crap stamina and crap shoulders so he doesn't want to risk gassing or losing ability of an arm so he throws as few punches as possible. Bute has a mediocre chin and bad defense when he punches so he's gun shy.

        Toney/Jirov
        V.Klitschko/Sanders
        Rahman/Sanders
        Moorer/Cooper
        The Great Calzaghe/Mitchell
        etc..
