Who was the first southpaw to fight for The World HeavyWeight Title

Braddock won the NYSAC title
This one took some searching. It's Karl Mildenberger. 1966, which is a bit of a surprise, would have thought it would be someone earlier. Now I haven't researched the handedness of every heavyweight challenger in history, but I'll go with this.Originally Posted by Trainer Monkey

Thanks Mick . Chalk it up to the wonders of Google found the same question asked in a few different places. OK, so give us a trivia question of your own.
Aside from Hopkins, Arguello and RMarquez name at least 2 more other fighters who lost their pro-debuts but still wen't on to become World Champs?
I happened to have boxrec opened to Mike Weaver when I saw this question. I'm sure I'll stumble accross others one of these days.Originally Posted by CutMeMick
