    THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED AND AIDED IN DISCUSSION!
    This was an absolute treat to make and edit. This was easily one of the most fun things I have made, and I had a lot of passion behind this. A lot of history and backstory, I just hope I did these guys justice.

    From fighters I have seen

    1. Marvelous Marvin Hagler
    2. Pernell 'Sweet Pea' Whitaker
    3. Manny Pacquaio
    4. Vicente Saldivar
    5. Michael 'Second to' Nunn
    6. Naseem 'Prince' Hamed
    7. Olexandr Uzyk
    8. Vasyl Lomachenko
    9. Khaosai Galaxy
    10. Hector Camacho
    11. Edwin Valero
    12. Michael Moorer
    13. Joe Calzaghe
    14. Sergio Martinez
    15. Cornelius Boza-Edwards

    Honourable mentions to Herol Graham, Alan Minter, Maurice Hope, Flash Elorde, Marvin 'Pops' Johnson.

    I'm already disagreeing with myself. Hamed is way too high based on achievements but I can live with this list.

    I’m seeing a lot of Khaosai Galaxy? His brother was better and also a southpaw, Khaosai Galaxy is wildly overrated what about Jiro Wantabe? (No mention and better) Does Marvin Hagler really count? He made a name as a converted south paw that did a ton of in between work he wasn’t really a “pure” south paw.

    Also totally irrelevant but I found out the other day that Benitez was a converted southpaw you can see him do a fair bit of stance swapping vs Palimino (spelling?).

    From the lists, this appears to be pound for pound. Is that a correct assumption?

    You’d be right. Is it true you decked Tunney with a straight left?

    Does that qualify me as a southpaw?
