        Good call. Better skilled especially on the D.

        Better than Hagler all-time? Naah. I wouldn't say that.

          I'd say Pea then Marv, however there were a ton of great southpaws... Khaosai Galaxy is probably near the top too. One of my personal favorite southpaw is Mark "Too Sharp" Johnson.

          There is a ton more Macho Camacho, Tiger Flowers, Flash Elorde, Boza Edwards, Bazooka Limon.....I'm forgetting a ton.

                  Remember a lot of southpaws, especially old-timers, were converted to orthodox, among them Joe Frazier, Carmen Basilio, Jim Corbett and De La Hoya. I've heard that Tyson is a natural lefty too.

                  But I'd say it's a toss up between Hagler and Whitaker.

                    The greatest southpaw of all-time is Marvin Hagler. A close second would be Pernell Whitaker
