    There have been 5 southpaw world heavyweight champs in boxing history

    Chris Byrd
    Sultan Ibragimov
    Ruslan Chagaev
    Corrie Sanders
    Michael Moorer

    Juan Carlos Gomez and Tony Thompson are the two best southpaw HWs who haven't won a world HW title. Gomez was cruiserweight champ, made 10 title defences.

    List your southpaw HW rankings

    Lennox admitted he avoided Sanders to Corrie when he was advising him for his Vitali fight.

    Damn these "Let's suck Klitshcko dick" threads pop up like herpes.


    ****ing viral posters here, with one track minds.

    It is not healthy for one man to idolize other men to this extent...

    All excellent HW's.

    People are quick to underrate Sanders, Chagaev, and Ibragimov.

    These guys had great careers and deserve respect.

    I don't get it, I think I do but I am unsure. He told Sanders himself he avoided him?

    Top qualiity HW Southpaws seems to be a recent thing. The best from the past, such as Dunn & Mildenburg, were of a VERY low standard.

    My picks [in judged order of ability at their best] are:
    1) Sultan Ibragimov
    2) Corey Sanders
    3) Chagaev
    4) Tony Thompson
    5) Chris Byrd

    Terrible rankings.

    Fulton and Mildenberger were bums.

    Because they didn't get a chance to shatter Wlad's disgraceful glass jaw or make Vitali quit?
