We all know about boxers of the past who were refused a championship fight due to their skin color.

However, which fighters of the past never fought for a belt because they were lefties?

I can't think of anyone who was shut out completely for being a southpaw, but I know Marvin Hagler's title shot was delayed because of his lefty style. Also because he could beat the crap out of any middleweight of his time.
