Hector Camacho Pernal Whittaker are two that would give Manny fits.

manny pacquiao invented the southpaw stance in the philippines because he used to watch tv in the mirror so he mimmicked the guys he saw on tv and it was backwards. thats why it was so hard for his opponents to fight him. there was also this guy named elijah tillery who used to throw punches with his feet. greatest feet fighter i have ever seen

marvin hagler. dat fkn pool got him right. i need to start swimming again. Water is so good for a boxer's shoulders because of the motions such as uppercut+hook combos with the same shoulder. swimming really, really reduces the chance of injury with that.

pac #2
If he defeats Thurman and Spence, or maybe Porter, I'll rank Pacquaio above Marvin

atgs,manny and hagler come to mind first.

theres a chasing pack of hofers like camacho which one recalls well too.

special mention to back door HoFer, calzaghe, although Honeyghan was a much better southpaw.
