    Well, it is a very short list of Southpaws that have won a World Title belt ( only 5). And I can't think of many other Southpaw Heavyweights.

    Michael Moorer
    Corrie Sanders
    Chris Byrd
    Sultan Ibragimov
    Ruslan Chagaev

    Moorer > Sanders.

    Just cause Wlad has Moorers chin doesn't make Sanders the hardest punching southpaw ever at all.

    I know Moorer was a devastating puncher at LHW. He had 100 % KO's at LHW. But who did he ever KO at Heavyweight?

    Frans Botha in the 12th round, and Bert Cooper are his best KO wins at HW.

    Michael Moorer probably deserves this distinction.
     
  12. Sanders was a 1 hit wonder what else did he do besides ko Wlad??

    Rahman KO'D HIM...
    VK blasted him out in a 1 sided fight...
    Correct me if im wrong even little lightly regarded Nate Tubbs ko'd him in 2 rounds:lol:..
    Sanders was a journeyman also ran not much else more..

    :rofl at this thread. Klithuggers always try to make Sanders out to something special, when he was in fact a journeyman fighter who was lucky that he was able to fight glass-jawed Wlad. Moorer is the hardest punching Southpaw in HW history as he not only has a better KO ratio but has been on the world scene far longer than Sanders who has a record comprised of mostly Tomatoe cans.
