Question

Who's the best southpaw boxer ever?

Answer 1

Would have to say Marvin Hagler, although he was known as a switch hitter who could change between southpaw and orthodox at will he was predominantely a Lefty (even though he was right handed). Sweet Pea does also deserve a mention for sure he definitely comes a close second.

I wonder if we ask this question in 10 years will the likes of Pacquiao, Winky and Calzaghe be in the running.

Answer 2

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm probaly winky wright

Answer 3

Rocky Balboa lmaoo.

Answer 4

Good call by ten count. Marvelous Marvin Hagler was dominant through the middleweights from 1980 through 1987. He fought about 20 more fights than Whittaker, who arguably had the best jab of any southpaw in history. Although Hagler's depth lacked in  his left, if he caught you with that right hook it was curtains.

Great question, btw.

Answer 5

Marvin Hagler is my instant thought to this question.

Answer 6

Hector Camacho!..... nah. i would say Pernell Whitaker.

Answer 7

marvin hager would be first

pernell whitaker ~ 2nd

khaosai galaxy ~ 3rd

after that would be the likes of lew tendler, vincende saldivar, manny pacquiao, flash elorde, tiger flowers and michael nunn.

Answer 8

Good question. My favorite ever was Marven Hagler. Sweet Pea  also comes to mind.

Answer 9

Super Feather-Manny Pacquiao

Lightweight- José  Ramírez or Hector  Camacho

Middleweight- Marvin Hagler or Winky

Heavy- Chris Byrd

Michael Moorer was a great too
