    What suggestions would you have?

    The fighters I'm thinking of would be:

    Pea (probably against Nelson and one other fight)
    Camacho (pre Rosario),
    Tendler (open to suggestions)
    Duilio Loi (whatever I could get)
    Marc "too sharp" Johnson
    Flashe Elorde

    Anyone with input, let me know!

    I would like to go with some older fights. I have tons of Pac on video right now.

    I just found a company that has some "too sharp" and Im excited about that.

    Marvin Hagler-Thomas Hearns
    Matthew (Franklin) Saad Muhammad-Marvin Johnson
    Michael Moorer-Bert Cooper
    Michael Carbajal-Humberto Gonzalez I

    Now here are some other fights, of the best performances by some of the best southpaw fighters:

    Marvin Hagler-Tony Sibson
    Pernell Whitaker-Buddy Mcgirt 2

    I love Elorde's style- I watch what exists of him on youtube but I would like some more of his early fights. Elorde is stylistically my favorite Filipino fighter, although I would like to see more about C. Garcia and I have watched some limited footage of Villa and liked it.

    I always enjoyed Hagler/Mugabi. Great fight....although if I remember correctly Hagler switches back and forth between south and orthodox

    Whitaker/Chavez deserves a place for Sweat Pea's masterful performance.

    Corrales/Cassamayor 1 was FOTY candidate.

    Matthew Franklin (later Saad Muhammad)-Marvin Johnson 2

    Pac's second fight with Morales is the one for this set.

    James Toney/jirov is a great fight involving the southpaw Jirov.
