    Is it Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez? Surely it has to be someone else?

    Can't really think of any big name Mexican southpaw really (although there probably is some famous one that I don't know and now I'm just going to look stupid lol)

    Zurdo = Southpaw in Mexicanese? If so that may be the least imaginative nickname in boxing.

    Probably because southpaws are so rare in Mexico or something. Maybe the Mexican style doesn't favor southpaws or something.

    Why do you think Mexicans have so few southpaws? Even Saldivar was supposedly right handed, I just read about him.
