Best infighting southpaws in boxing history? (besides pacman)

Manny is a bad infighter, he doesn't fight well at close range chest to chest. He folds up or holds awkwardly and doesn't try to use his shoulders for leverage and throw short combinations from a crouch like a conventional swarmer does.

Hagler is probably the best Southpaw infighter. Whitaker was very competent as well.

 

Pacquiao and Tyson are/were predominantly mid-range fighters.

Whitaker is the best southpaw I've seen on the inside.

 

Chagaev at his best could do it pretty well. Winky Wright too.

 

Whitaker and Hagler, Pacquaio's infighting can see him outdone, he doesn't get leverage at that range

 

Some not mentioned above...Lew Tendler, Horacio Accavallo, Winky Wright

 

Pacquiao's a pretty poor infighter, actually. I'd go with Whitaker and Hagler, who, incidentally, are the two best, period. Hagler had very long arms, though, so Whitaker would be the best choice.

Andy Ganigan. I think you'll find that most southpaws are more effective either from a distance (where they can create angles and shoot that left hand) or on the way in. Most good southpaws are counterpunchers. I belive it was jake Lamotta that said he liked to fight lefties up close because that took away their angles.

 

:deal

 

Tyson was a bad infighter, he was a mid range fighter.
Not inside.

 

He also dislodged necks with uppercuts and hooks

 

The TS doesn't even know what infighting is. Or maybe he's just a third-rate troll.
