    Watanabe is one of the best examples I can think of. Obviously Hagler as well.

    Definitly good punching technique.

    Also Pea saying Watanabe reminded me of another southpaw boxer-puncher

    Michael Mooer esp as a lightheavyweight.
    Early Carl Daniels=he gave prime Norris a hell of a fight.
    Gary Hinton was a slick southpaw.
    Johhny Bumphus didn't do well in the pros but man could he throw beautiful combinations when he was on.
    Kassim Ouma at one point.
    Rolando Navarrette-threw compact punches.
    Early Boza Edwards-more of a stylist early in his career.

    Hector Camacho for movement.
    Jim Watt had a nice style as well.
    Saldivar for applying smart pressure.

    The guy that came to my mind is a little unorthodox, does not look (to me) great on film....Reminds me of Larry Bird, in that he looked so ordinary and beatable but was pretty darn good:

    My first thought was a guy most probably see as a puncher /boxer,but I don't, to me he is a mechanic first, and a puncher second.
    Marvin Hagler.

    Believe it or not, Michael Moorer is a pretty textbook example of a southpaw boxer puncher.
