    When talking about the greatest southpaws of all time, I would have thought that the names of Marvin Hagler and Pernell Whitaker would have dominated.

    I started a poll on this subject some time ago, and right now Pacman is leading by a huge margin (click here to check it out).

    Surely this is not an accurate reflection of all boxing fans?

    Pernell Whitaker is the definitive southpaw in my judgment.

    Would have to be Sweat Pea.
    Not only could he knock you out, his defense, speed and tenacity confused you.
    Hagler would be second. His defense was not there.

    the one and only Prince Naseem Hamed

    Dynamite in both fists and the entertainment to go with it, better talker than the Pretty Boy.

    Lets be honest, his stomach for boxing was long gone before he fought barrera, and there was no way barrera would have beaten the Prince had he really wanted it.

    Joe Calzaghe by far, he was unbeaten and smashed 3 ATG's and a potential 4th ATG.

    I don't see anyone else on people lists unbeaten or unbeatable.
