As a lefty, I have a tendecy to pay attention to southpaw fighters. I pretty much always root for soutpaw fighters(except Calzaghe). So who are the top 10 southpaws in the game? Here is my top 10; 1. Manny Pacquiao 2. Joe Calzaghe 3. Ivan Calderon 4. Paul Williams 5. Chad Dawson 6. Winky Wright 7. Robert Guerrero 8. Vic Darchinyan 9. JuanMa Lopez 10. Christian Mijares
How about we go to 11 an add..... 1. Rocky Balboa 2. Manny Pacquiao 3. Joe Calzaghe 4. Ivan Calderon 5. Paul Williams 6. Chad Dawson 7. Winky Wright 8. Robert Guerrero 9. Vic Darchinyan 10. JuanMa Lopez 11. Christian Mijares :happy
I'm going to be honest, these rankings aren't an exact science. I have no problem with the two being flip flopped.
Four of those guys are in Ring Magazine's top 10. Mijares was there until he got beat up by Vic. edit: make that 3 guys. Apparently, Williams was taken out and replaced by Hatton.
Guerrero over Darchinyan, Lopez and Mijares? Calderon over Williams, Dawson and Wright? Ouch. Try again.
Guererro, without a doubt. He seems very out of place on your list. Don't forget, he got pwned by Salido not long ago, and the only reason it's not a loss is because Salido failed a drug test.
Guerrero doesnt belong in a top 20, much less top 10. How about Calderon? Does he deserve to be higher than fighters who have beaten top class opponents? He fights in a weight range with less talent than the current Heavyweights.
Harsh critic. Anyway, Lopez is a damn good fighter but I don't think his comp. is enough to put him over Guerrero. Mijares was just destroyed, so I can't put him above The Ghost. Darch was destroyed in his only loss, but did come back to destroy Mijares and Kirilov.Gurrero has been pretty dominant in all of his fights. His only loss was a SD and he avenged that via stoppage. He did lose to Salido, but Salido was roided up an that got changed to a NC. I have no problem with Vic being above Guerrero, but not the other two. On to Calderon. He's at a sever size disadvantage on just about every fight, and has to get by on pure boxing skills. He's been doing it for years. Williams stepped onto the scene, and has a massive size advantage fighting at WW. Even with that advantage, he dropped a decision to Quintana. Wright hasn't won a fight in about 2 years, the inactivity hurts him. Dawson is not quite proven enough to warrant a spot above Calderon.
Salido was a drug cheat. The man was roided up. I discarded that fight, it was a NC. Anyway, I asked for people to make a top 10 list. Instead, everyone is nit picking my list.
