Look at all the top fighters at 154 who are lefties; Paul Williams Corey Spinks Daniel Santos Segiy Dzinziruk Sergio Martinez James Kirkland Also throw in some contenders like Jamie Moore, Deandre Latimore, Kassim Ouma, Joe Greene, and Sechew Powell. Has there ever been a time where a divsion was so heavily dominated by Southpaws?
wow good spot there mate i didnt realize this and cant think of any other division in any era that had so many top southpaws
Interesting. Bantamweight is packed with lefties as well: Hasegawa, Agbeko, Penalosa, Mijares, Vic Darchinyan moving up, all of them elite fighters. You can add Quintana to the 154 mix BTW, and Erislandy Lara shorty.
Considering Lattimore and Spinks are fighting for the vacant IBF belt, 5 of the 6 beltholders(3 full champs, 2 interim champs) will be Southpaws. Forrest is the only orthodox champ and it looks like he'll be fighing Martinez soon. I've never seen so many lefty champs in one divsion before.
Thats a **** load of lefty talent at 154 lbs. I am a lefty but I box orthodox most of the time and my trainers and I never knew why lol. I can switch hit pretty good though.
