Your Views.... Great southpaw fighters to study.

Winky Wright close thread.

 

Heres a thread from a while back of great southpaws

Winky Wright is a terrible suggestion he never used the southpaw stance to its fullest. Was flat footed and is more known for being an american with an european style defence. Check out Zab Judah, Chad Dawson, Devon Alexander for boxers that use the southpaw style to its fullest by taking advantage of all angles.

 

Sorry expert- he's easy to replicate because his style is simple you twat. :good

 

1. Marvin Hagler
2. Pernell Whitaker
3. Hector Camacho
4. Joel Casamayor
5. Manny Pacquio
6. Joe Calzaghe

 

I wouldn't put him in the pantheon of greatest southpaw fighters ever, but I've learned a lot from watching Paul Williams.

 

European style defence :huh Dont see were you get that from.

 

Paqcquiao really gets the most from his southpaw stance.

 

Yeah, because everybody has Judah and Alexander's athleticism and Dawson's athleticism and height.

Winky was a good suggestion. He was a fighter who succeeded with a simple, replicable style and didn't have any outstanding athletic trait that made him an unrealistic fighter to copy.

 

So have I. Develop some form of defence other than using my face.

 

Winky was a good suggestion because it's good to know the basics. But that's no reason not to try the more advanced stuff, they don't have Judah's or Alexander's level of opposition either.

 

:good

Wright is a superb shout.

 

I don't believe he used his face to block punches.

 

:yep:yep
