the problem with sonny is.. he was supposedly left handed and did a marvin hagler a fought the oposite to what hand he was (leading with his best hand) sure it makes his lead hook better but he doesnt have much if his lead hook doesnt get them out of there, if he boxed out of a southpaw stance he would of been top 5 in the HW division. he is still top 10 imo.
