      Actually, southpaw used to have a really negative connotation. If you were left handed in boxing, you were seen as useless, you pretty much were marked as someone who couldn't box, even if you could. This sentiment was likely reversed by the "Rocky" films, but surely should revert to how it used to be used after Obama's presidency. Haha
