Who was the best southpaw ever?

[TheMagicMan]

Joe calzaghe and franKly it ain't close

[jrosales13]

Pernell Whitaker. Nobody else. Whitaker>Every southpaw. Including Hagler and Pac. But, those 2 round of the top 3.

See sig.....

[{Pito}]

Sweet pea definitely.

[Heeb]

Pernell Whitaker.

[Mr. Ryan]

I would say it's Pernell Whitaker, even above Marvin Hagler. It's hard to rate Pacquiao because he hasn't yet concluded his career. My list, with Whitaker on top and no other fighters ranked in any particular order are:

Pernell Whitaker

Marvin Hagler
Manny Pacquiao
Flash Elorde

[edgarg]

A PEAK Hector Camacho must be considered in there somewhere. As well as a peak Flash Elorde, jr lightweight champ for 7 years.

[HughJass]

to me if you just base it on first 4 rounds... zab judah.

[sweetpea87]

My main man Pernell Whitaker.
