    Any great exciting fights that you guys can think of that involves 2 southpaws in the ring?

    First to come to mind is Kevin Kelley vs Naseem Hamed.

    I cannot think of any. I know of a lot of southpaws, but not any that could have fought one another. Chuck Davey, Mildenberger, Hagler, Larry Bonds, Ayub Kalule, Moorer-but none of them overlapped.

    Paul Banke vs Daniel Zaragoza trilogy is up there, probably #1 for me with the 2nd bout being the best

    I'm drawing blanks right now but a few fights that I have recently rewatched were Spinks vs Judah 1 which was a very good technical fight and Juan Carlos Gomez vs Antonio Tarver and Antonio Tarver vs Vassily Jirov in the amauters. Those two Tarver Amauter fights can be found on youtube and are pretty entertaining.

    Lara vs Trout. Better than I would have thought, seeing as Lara is generally very boring.
