      I've never seen a fighter use the southpaw stance like Manny does. The way he uses it to set up his power shots, how he throws "crossover punches" as if he was playing basketball, and he has a great right hand now.

      He's the most well-versed southpaw of all time.

        Dude, just no.

        Go watch some Whitaker fights. He had immensely better defense obviously, but he obviously was good at boxing and counter punching, he was damn good to the body, as he outfought Chavez to the body when they fought, he could knock you out when he had to as he did to Hurtado, the guy was the complete package.

        Whitaker was unquestionably more skilled than Pacquiao, not even close.

          What's the point in trying to debate with the pinoy's that have never seen a prime Pernell fight?

          They only thing they can think of is an out of prime Pernell.

          Pacquiao skillwise compared to Pernell? Laughable.

          Only thing Pac had over Pernell was power.

            and last time I checked Pernell aint 8 division champ!
            Did you really just use Pernell's 2nd to last fight against a decent WW to try and make him look bad ?.

            Edit: Nevermind, just seen who posted it, wouldn't of expected less from you to take a Whitakers 2nd to last fight loss just to try and make Pac look good.

              He even spelled Tito's name wrong.

                Not the most skilled, but he's up there.

                Certainly the most ACCOMPLISHED Southpaw in the history of Boxing though.

                    More accomplished than Hagler?

                      Going just by accomplishments, definitely.

                      7-Division Champ
                      Fighter of the Decade
                      Fighter of the year x4
                      so on and so on...

                      Hagler is a close runner-up only because of his induction into the hall of fame which is a given for Pac anyway.
