    Arent most of the top level southpaws kinda awkward and unconventional?

    I dont think there are a lot of textbook, straight up, lefty boxers.

    Maybe I'm wrong.

    Does this really support the premise that southpaws hold advantages over orthodox boxers just from the stance alone...

    Southpaws used in seeing righties while righties seldom see southpaw boxers... Southpaws are awkward and not so predictable boxers...

    Camacho fought absolutely nothing whatsoever like either of those two.

    Admittedly, this was a young, aggressive, prime Camacho, rather than the runner he'd become. He still never fought anything like Hamed or Darchinyan, though. No idea where that comes from.

    You're right. I think most are awkward in general.
