Southpaw Heavyweight Rankings

[Klitschko2011]

There have been 5 southpaw world heavyweight champs in boxing history.

Ruslan Chagaev
Sultan Ibragimov
Chris Byrd
Michael Moorer
Corrie Sanders

Tony Thompson and Juan Carlos Gomez are the two best southpaws who haven't won a HW title. Gomez was cruiserweight champ, made 11 title defences.

The Klitschkos have defeated 6 of the 7 best southpaws of all time.

Clearly u guys havent heard of The Italian Stallion...........

MM is the best by a long shot unless we include converted orthadox fighters like Tyson, he even went southpaw from time to time as he could Knock you out with either hand just as easily

[The_Demon]

If Sanders and Chagiev arent average then i dont know who the hell is!

That's a fair point,i just thought their was no point in doing a list if i was only going too name two fighters But you're right,MM and Byrd are the only 2 worth mentioning

[Scott9945]

If Sanders and Chagiev arent average then i dont know who the hell is!

Average would be most of the opponents that they beat. Average fighters don't have world titles and glossy records.

Moorer wins this by default.
