Best Southpaw Heavyweight

I like Moorer and I really think he could have been better than he was. He was a tough guy but at the same time could be very weak mentally.
Really psyched himself out at times

 

the crown/top place would belong to either Corbett and jeffries.

mildenburger was probably better than anyone on that list apart from moorer

coo.ney is certainly higher up than sanders, though not above moorer.

 

I'd say Moorer, he beat a better version of Holyfield than Byrd did and won a title on 2 occasions.

Then I'd have Byrd, he won a title and beat some good names in Vitali, Golota and Tua.

It's amazing how few quality southpaws there were. I guess many good ones were converted to orthodox in older era's. Anyone know any greats who were naturally southpaw but were converted to an orthodox stance?

 

oh yeh sorry that's what I meant by Jeffries and Corbett.

 

Smoking Joe, I think.

 

Smoking Joe was right handed. Gerry ****ey was right handed.

 

yeah I think Gerry was a natural southpaw though.

 

Mildenberger was not as good as any on that list. Just because you share a ring with Ali, doesn't mean you get 40% better.

And ****ey, Corbett and Jeffries were orthodox.

 

he was german champ, I believe. that's on par with what corrie achieved, at least.

although I mean prime corrie not shot2syhte retired one that instantly wiped out prime wlad in seconds.

clearly you've learned well my friend, but not deep enough. they started out as southpaws.

 

Moorer started out as orthodox so he is disqualified?

 

Rocky Balboa

 

Cooper was a 'convertee'.
From what I've seen (after blowing off boxing 20 some odd years ago) Byrd looked damn good.
Amazing that so many natural 'righties' had booming left hooks.
Look no further than the great Patterson guys (OK a bit biased).
Big Cat was another rightie that had a solid left hook.
I'd always thought Frazier was 'converted'?
If that wasn't the case, let me know.

Dustin Nichols.....
