    Is this thread based on skills or resume?

    If its skills Pac can never go above Sweet pea, he lacks fundamentals.

    The reality is there really is no such thing as a good southpaw. Everything they do is wrong......and backwards.

    They survive purely on awkwardness, not skill......

    True, my vote goes Whitaker. By the way Hoya has more claim to being a southpaw than Trinidad.

    I would rank him higher as an ATG easily if he did what I said .... and btw, you can't just look at his Fundamentals , you need to look at the effectiveness of his style.

    He's left handed, but a ton of orthodox fighters are.

    There was a Klitshcko fan who used to say Corrie Sanders was the second best southpaw ever.

    After Joe Frazier.

    "Upon reviewing the southpaw boxers of history we can say emphatically that there have been few truly great left handed fighters...blah, blah, blah....."

    Truth hurts, read it and weep........southpaws are an abomination.

    You certainly proved you're a moron but nothing else.

    There are more right handers than left. Whitaker is one of the most talented boxers of all time regardless of his stance.
