Fighting southpaws really shouldn't be a big deal any more because every other fighter is a southpaw. It used to be problematic because they were very rare and it isn't like it is impossible to do anyway. especially when modern southpaws throw nothing but straight left hands, and extra especially when you are 6'7" and can reach over the top of them.
dempsey fought black guys on the way up. Can you name the worthy black challengers during Tunney's HW title reign?
