    Hagler easily then as the gentleman said, Lew Tendler. The 20's was a much more competitive era than the 70's/80s and 90s

    After that it's the original bad boy Hector Macho Camacho, the boy from the wrong side of town. Even slicker than Pernell and faster both with his hands and feet. I sent out my DVD's to a fellow poster recently so that he may witness speed beyond compare on this amazing latin wonderboy.

    Pernell gets in the top five-but looked ordinary in comparison. A good network type fighter but could never match Hagler's flesh ripping weapons, let alone his right hook.

    Pernell really did a job on JC Chavez, rendering him completely ineffective which is something Camacho didnt do but Hector was a punching bag by then. I also believe Pernell wanted to prove himself as the best with a burning desire for the Macho man-mid 80s. A shame but it's not Pernell's fault he was born too late.

    Sweet Pea.

    Did a good and proper job on JJC, only beaten when past prime vs Ocsar and Tito.

    Whitaker. He was so dominant in his prime that it was rare for him to lose a round, let alone lose a fight. What made this even more impressive was the quality of opposition that he accomplished this against.

    Greatest southpaws would have to be Whitaker or Hagler.

    Hagler would come in at number two here, even though he is not a natural southpaw.

    Redrooster seems to be a funny guy, he has a bit of knowledge and loves Marvin, Hector and Terry.

    You guy's have worked him out?.
