    Cooney was probably the best known heavyweight converted southpaw.

    At least Thompson usually had great recuperative abilities and really, outright superior durability.

    Ezra Seller's was extremely fragile in there. Guy could not take a punch, despite all his very real power.

    Darroll "Doin' Damage" Wilson was a heavyweight who was also a converted southpaw. He could punch pretty damn well for a small heavyweight.

    Frazier, Cooney, Dempsey, Morrison and Tyson all come to mind when you mention hard hitting left hand
