The man was not a southpaw.
Any list of the best when it came to lefties should start with Whitaker and follow with Hagler. Of recent times, I want to second the shout out to El Cepillo. That Cuban trickster was one of the most difficult southpaws of recent times. He had the most versatile left hand: It was sneaky in every fashion he threw it, and he had beautiful accuracy.
Yep.... Sadly he is past of his best now..... [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qes5r-OZ9jU[/ame] But This is one of my favorites fights ever......
I was originally one of the duped. Part of the problem was posed photographs that were reversed, plus an early dearth of action photographs and footage online, a lack of material which resulted in getting parlayed into descriptions of Loi as a southpaw LaMotta, as in this seemingly informed article: http://cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/loi2.htm issBoxWRECK does at least have him correctly identified as orthodox, so it's a little surprising that this misconception lingers with the improved exposure. A posed photograph of Loi on page 804 of the 1957 Ring Record Book does indeed display in orthodox posture, but with no visible lettering on his gear for added clarity.
