Winky Wright should be higher up on the list

Good points Terrence. What I think some people forget is that southpaws despite obviusly matching up differently, have every conceivable strength and weakness that right handers have.

Terence, thank you very much for the analysis to my original question.

Mate Parlov, great amateur career, and world LHW champ in 70-ts, was southpaw, and very dominant one. When professional, he was already old, and over the hill, still managed to beat Miguel Angel Cuello (won LHW title), John Conteh, and draw with M. Franklyn, later Matthew Saad Mohammad. As amateur he won Olympic, world amateur championship, and couple of European championships, and relly dominated competition, including Cubans, and boxers from Soviet Union. He didn't lose fight in more than 8 years before losing to Saad Mohammad (draw in rematch). Weight problems forced him to retirement, after defeat to Marvin Johnston, and then Marvin Camel in newly established cruserweight division.

Other very good southpaws: Atilio Caraune, Hiroyuki Ebihara, Fighting Harada, and Melio Bettina
