Trying to come up with the best Southpaw vs Southpaw matches that ever occured. Off hand I can think of...

Lou Brouillard vs Young Corbett III (both Hall of Famers)
Marvin Hagler vs Alan Minter
Zab Judah vs Cory Spinks
Marvin Hagler vs Mustafa Hamsho
Alan Minter vs Mustafa Hamsho

Can anyone add more ?

Julio Cesar Vazquez fought a young Winky Wright, as well as a prime Pernell Whitaker.

Antonio Tarver fought against Eric Harding, but that was before he was world champ, so it wasn't really significant.

Wow it does get you to really think!!!

I could I forget.

Pernell Whitaker vs Jose Luis Ramirez in 2 title bouts.

There's Marvin Hagler vs. Sugar Ray Seales

Horacio Accavallo vs Hiroyuki Ebihara, twice (WBA and WBC Flyweight Title)

Sergiy Dzinziruk-Daniel Santos
Stevie Johnston-George Scott
John David Jackson-Reggie Johnson

Southpaw vs southpaw is a horrible fight 99% of the time. They don't know what to do with each other with their backward ass slappsy patsy styles......southpaw vs southpaw = snoozefest.

oh shut up! you dont know anything about boxing!!!! Southpaws are not backwards they are COMPLETELY symmetrical with right handed fighters!!!! what is this big thing you have against southpaws your last like 30 posts have been slagging off southpaws making ridiculous claims that no southpaw can be great. It takes a great to knock out Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales, it takes a great to knock out Hearns in one of the most exciting fights of all time, and it certainly takes more than a "slapsy"!

Explain to me without insults or unproven worthless comments why you think all southpaws are second rate

Why do you southpaw lovers always want to think that because Hagler KO'd Hearns it makes southpaws great? Hagler won that fight more due to Hearn's stupidity than Hagler's greatness...which is questionable when you look at how SRL made him look foolish. MAB vs Pacman, MAB was shot, nothing great about Pacman in any of his fights. Morales gave him a boxing lesson in the first fight, in the second he was on the way to doing the same and ran out of gas......There are no great southpaw fighters.....NONE. There are a few above average southpaws, but none who can be called truely great. If you really knew your right hand from your left, and were a boxing fan.....you would know better. You must be a slapsy-patsy, backward ass punching, tripping over your own feet, plodding, typical southpaw.

Wow, you really have a thing against southpaws........

What's the deal with Thailand ? Seems like half the fighters there are Southpaws.

They don't know any better.......

Plodding? why does being a lefty make you plodding?!?! Im more of a speed merchant really! Movement is my best asset. What would you say about zab judah or pac or hamed? Plodders? Joe Calzaghe? Plodder? I smell ignorance. You dont even know what you are talking about im afraid.

You still havent answered my question. What is it that makes a left handed fighter backwards or slapsy or plodding??? There is no evidence or proof of this, they fight symmetrically to right handers.

oh and do you think that everyone who doesnt agree with you on this is a boxing fan??? Cos believe me NO ONE agrees with you. There are many great southpaws

Your arguements are also plodding.......that figures too.

lack of substance here mate. Evwen if you dont agree with my argument i thought u would atleast answer the question!
