    Bob Murphy, never a champion but one of the toughest light heavyweights of the 1940s, who was NEVER in a dull fight...

    years ago I boxed as an amateur (not really just went to the St. Rita's gym and sparred and trained with Champ Chaney (who trained a young Marvin Johnson). I boxed southpaw tho being adept with both hands. I always thought I should have converted. I could never get that right hook into any kind of weapon. :roll:
    The left hook is such a potent asset in boxing; many great left hookers were natural righties. (my hero Patterson).
    Good thread!
    Question: Are there ANY southpaws out there in history who were known for having a lights out Right Hook?
