P4P Best southpaw ... Past/Present

[wmute]

I was just naming other notable southpaws.

As for the comparison, Nunn was a better talent and better in his prime than the others. I actually think at his peak, he'd give quite a few of the ATG middleweights a handful and maybe upset a couple of them.

But in terms of overall accomplishment, I don't see Nunn really standing out from the others.

I agree on Nunn being an underachiever, but I would still rate his accomplishments above the others.

Again, except Byrd given his original size has accomplished quite a bit.

[MELLY-MEL...]

Marvin Hagler all time. calzaghe now.

[Silencers]

Hagler and Whitaker are definitely the top 2.

When I started posting here, I was sure I was going to end up on your ignore list (this is when you still had the offenses and the people who were on ignore for them). It's just good that I have moved up from that.

I just told someone that I thought you were one of the most knowledgable on here by far. Something to strive to become.

Are you American or British? I thought I knew the answer, but I'm not sure.

I am Italian, as in born and raised in Italy. I moved to the US 4 years ago. The fact that there have not been elite Italian boxers since the 70s helps staying objective .

I think that you already are one of the best posters here. It is very hard to get to the immense knowledge of people like yogi, cple... The best we can do is be objective and think with our heads and slowly gather knowledge by watching fights and reading about those which are not taped.

hey, what about Sambu Kalambay? that was a damn good fighter, VERY underrated imo. Im pretty sure he was Italian...nationality wise, haha

and Italy had Miccel Piccolelli or however you spell it too...the fellow that lost to Mayorga. he had some pretty good wins.

That's some high praise... thank you very much!

Piccirillo has a robbery win over Cory Spinks (I've heard). That is about it.

I think the last elite fighter from italy is Nino Benvenuti, champ at 154 and 160 (as in lineal champ).

Piccirillo and Kalambay I would put on a lower level. Piccirillo robbed Spinks big time.

Winky Wright anybody?
