    I'm not being a smart ass. The fact is Tyson is an orthodox boxer CURRENTLY and when he was at his peak. Him being southpaw before is irrelevant especially since he was still GREEN when he was using that stance.

    So you fail utterly if you think Tyson's one of the best southpaws in boxing when he hasn't used it since ancient times.

    I read many good choices. I think Ibragimov is being overlooked. His hand speed is the best in the heavyweight, speed and power, lethal combination. But, your guys are good choices. Ibragimov needs to win some big fights and earn his way on your list.

    Unless you recognise the WBO.

    Not Calderon fault nobody wanted to unify with him at 105lbs.

    I swear Boxrec is run by mexicans. They have Solis #1 and Sosa #2. Sosa even lot to Bustos. Who lost against Calderon. Sosa has 5 loses and was KO once.

    yeah it was a long time ago, but i still think he was one of the best cause i saw he could fight southpaw stance good and had alot of power and speed, even though he foght bums early on. most other southpaw guys dont have power or speed, just akward an through the other fighter off. Paul williams is different, he seems to have power and speedan skills
