best southpaw in the game today

[RubenSonny]

Pacquaio is the best fighter in the world, but not the best southpaw? Has does that work? Manny is the best southpaw EVER.

please, hes not the best ever southpaw

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

I don't think alot of people read the starting post.

Best southpaw BASED ON OVERALL SKILL & TECHNIQUE.


Pacquiao wouldn't be #1 on a list based on that.

Yeah I dont see how anybody could say hes the most skilled lefty in the world when Dawson, Martinez, Calderon, Dirrell, Hasegawa and Bute are also left handed.

Even not talking about lefties. Is Pac more skilled than JMM?

please, hes not the best ever southpaw

Hes really not.............

pac is the greatest southpaw fighter since pernell whitaker but according to these dunces with their cute mental gymnastic thinking, he's 3 or in some idiots rankings 7th or 8th best southpaw.


sergio martinez, dawson, calderon.....


running away from exchanges, putting your hand down, & participating in excruciatingly boring fights IS NOT A SKILL.


OFFENSE IS A SKILL just like DEFENSE IS A SKILL. stop marginalizing the skills of a offensive fighter who knocks people out & puts on a great show vs elite opponents.


Stop trying to get cute with your analysis. Pacquiao is the best southpaw since pernell whitaker.

[RubenSonny]

Hes really not.............

third maybe?

Do you think Pernell is the best southpaw ever..Off the top off my head i'd say so...but i can't really think of any other stunning ones atm

[jrosales13]

this thread is a bunch of

Pac is the best southpaw right now. Greatest southpaw since Whitaker.

If you just want to talk about skill then really it goes

Dawson
Calderon
Pac

And, is a maybe on Calderon because Pac offense is just as great as Calderon defense. And, Pac defense is just as bad as Calderon offense. We talking about overall skills here gentlemen.

There are really only 2 southpaws that have a case to be more skillful than Pac. And, one of them in Calderon would be a toss up.

Some you guys act like Pac is really not skilled at all. Technique? Does Martinez have better techniquie then Pac? Hell no but he fights in a different style that makes him seem like he does when he really doesn't. Hasegawa? No is not better skilled. Dirrell? does not have OVERALL better skills then Pac, Alexander? Come on. You guys would consider any guys with flashiness and footwork as skills. But, that is just one part of skills is not overall.
