    Just an interesting note: with the WBC finally stripping Forrest and making Martinez the (deserving) full champ, the alphabet era might have reached another milestone: the 154 pound division is ruled by southpaw champions!

    WBC: Sergio Martinez
    WBA: Daniel Santos
    IBF: Cory Spinks
    WBO: Sergiy Dzinziruk
    WBO interim: Paul Williams


    And this unique situation might stay for a while, because there are a lot of lefties among the upcoming fighters: Kirkland, Lara, Quintana, Latimore, Moore and Greene, so expect not only a lot of southpaw action at 154, but plenty of lefty vs. lefty fights as well, which is always interesting.

    Thats a good indication just how big of a natural advantage southpaws have.
