Thread: Who CLEARLY Beat a Great Southpaw in Their Prime?

Can anyone think of an all time great left hander who lost a fight that wasn't a shady decision? (only decisions, not knockouts)

Only decisions

Well dang.....you made it REALLY difficult when you said "great lefthander".....how many of those were there to begin with

Whittaker, Hagler, Wright.....it's hard to think of any

Ali-Mildenburger was an easy win for Ali

Trinidad-Whittaker was a pretty good decision

Benny Leonard over Lew Tendler

Did you see the ali-mildenburger fight?
Whitaker was far past his best days when he fought Trinidad.
I think the closest is Hagler losing to Leonard, but even then he was past it, and it was very close.
Another is Wright vs. ... he hasn't lost in his prime.
Michael Nunn was beat by James Toney, and I think if that didn't happen he would have been great.

Yeah but the argument can be made that Nunn was not in his prime either, he was into heavy drugs leading into the Toney fight. But he was still top P4P so I think he can be considered great.

Anyways, like I said in another thread, not to many GREAT fighters get beat in their prime. Not many at all. Then to throw the southpaw factor in the mix, well it's damn near impossible to find a fighter who was 100% in his prime, no questions about it, who was beat clearly. By decision no less.

barrera beat the prince..but do you consider prince great

both klitchkos beat chris byrd do you consider him great, but i guess one was a knockout

james toney beat vissaliy jirov

morrales beat pac-man...(but i guess that might not be clear enough)

but marco did kick prince's ass...

George Foreman beating Michael Moorer

But that was by knock out.

And Moorer wasn't great



I saw Ali-Mildenburger plenty of times it's an easy fight for Ali.

Ahh sorry didn't read first post.

Holyfield, Morrison, won fights by KO's. Some more but can't recall right now

i think Byrd is a great southpaw. so i'll give the robot credit for his wins.

Baldomir beat Zab. Zab's a great, in his own mind.

so no one is acknowledging barrera beating prime undefeated prince naseem hamed
