    Off the top of my head:

    Ivan Calderon/Joe Calzaghe today.

    Sweet Pea from the past, followed by Hagler.

    I am probably forgetting someone.

    EDIT: in fact I forgot Pacman.

      Whitaker and Hagler are the top 2.

      It'll take a long time to come up with a definitive top 10.

      Just a quick list of other notable lefties:

      Manny Pacquiao
      Tyrone Everett
      Joel Casamayor
      Michael Moorer
      Vincente Saldivar
      Joe Calzaghe
      Naseem Hamed
      Kevin Kelley
      Mustafa Hamsho

          I'll also add that the two best fights I've seen between two southpaws both involved Kevin Kelley.

          1. Naseem Hamed-Kevin Kelley
          2. Kevin Kelley-Derrick Gainer I
