      Prime Pac vs these guys and I'd still pick Spence and Bud.
      You know that Cotto was also a switch stance boxer just like Crawford, right?

        The PBC dont pay that kind of money and the PBC dont allow their top fighters off their own platforms so i dont see how thats ever going to happen, the insular cult of the PBC is the king when it comes to stopping or blocking any good fights as far as i can see. They, and their strange backwards fans seem to have a million excuses for goog fights not to happen and lame reasons for their fighters to refuse way more money to have these fights on other networks.

        So i dont see how Pac v Crawford happens. Uncle Al wont allow it.

          Yep (but predominantly ortho).....A big reason why Pac demanded Cotto sign the clause.

          Pac has yet to ask ANOTHER WW to sign a clause

          Didn't ask Margarito to sign a clause.

          No clause, no fight. Cotto sold out for that big paycheck.

              There is more info if you google. Pac has never done this with another WW.

                    kinda makes you wonder why arum wont pay him what he wants when arum gave him $25 mil for the algieri fight.

                      First, you were looking for names with similar fighting stance. Now, you went to the 'clause' when someone points out names to you.

                      Anyway, it's hard to gauge how Manny would fare up against an 'elite' southpaw. It's not his fault there were no other elite southpaws during his time. (Zab maybe but he was already on the losing streak during that time and he's not really elite)

                      The last southpaws Manny fought were Diaz and some Thailander guy. They're not a good gauge to compare but Manny didn't perform bad against them either.

                      You cannot say Manny would not perform good against 'elite' southpaws when it hasn't actually happened.
