    1. Pernell Whitaker
    2. Manny Pacquiao
    3. Tito Trinidad
    4. Roy Jones Jr
    5. Marco Antonio Barrera

    In terms of variety, power, and speed I'd probably make that my list.

    I haven't gave this a great deal of thought, am I missing someone?

    It was either him or Marco, and although Oscar had a more powerful one, I think Barrera did more with his. To the body, hooked with it, had a great jab as he peaked, and he was slightly faster. I don't have a problem with someone swapping MAB for Oscar though, really.

    man get pac man out there you ****ing crazy he just developed a left hand 7-8 fights ago

    Shane Mosely should be in the entry instead the leaping left hook. or that beautiful left hook that ripped vargas off his feet

    Oscar left hook is ****ing nasty. I mean I honestly think he may be a southpaw with as much power he has behind that left

    I don't have any issue with barrera at 5 though i'm pretty sure i'd have oscar higher. I think his jab and hook where better than marco and as you allude to he had slightly more power, he was no slouch on he speed side either. Pretty close either way though

    Slightly controversial but i'd rate pacs above whitaker's as well. I always viewed whitaker best punch as the the jab and he was obviously a far more rounded fighter than manny, but manny rise to sucsess was down almost totally to his left even now with the improvment in the right hand its still his best punch hands down, the straight left down the pipe espicially

    I disagree about Oscar's hook being better, it was just more powerful. Marco was a better body puncher than Oscar, and it almost exclusively came from his left side. But like I said, they both had terrific left hands, Marco being a better two fisted fighter though. So..take your pick on this one.

    Great jab, but he isn't a top 5 entrant.

    This just another example of the stupidity of the cherrypicker's groupies.

    I have never seen a more clueless group of fanboys.
