    Marvelous Marvin Hagler, although he did not always fight southpaw he
    did switch a lot .

    amazingly enough although not the greatest southpaw Moorer has to go down as one of the best, he was an amazing fighter before moving up to HW

    Top 3 are definitely Sweetpea, Pacman and Hagler.

    Moorer was a vicious puncher at light heavy but did not challenge the best fighters at that weight to be considrede amazing.

    Segio Martinez has done better.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Thats a bit harsh. Calzaghe got to be in the top 10. Hagler took more risk though so deserves top spot.

    Between Whitaker and pacquiao but I always thought zab Judah was one of the best fighters and could've been one of the best to ever fight if he would've trained harder. I'll just say he could have been the best in my eyes. But we never go to see his full potential.

    Based on what mate? He has failed every single time he fought any elite fighter. His best win was against Corey Spinks and he also lost to him!

    Look up 'overrated' in the dictionary and you will see a picture of Zab Judah

    I'm basing just on watching how slick and quick he was when he fought. I never said he was THE BEST just saying that if he would've been dedicated completely to the sport he could have been great. I feel that with his speed and technique he could've been a great fighter but because of his stupidity he ruined himself and his career. His left uppercut that comes up when he dodges a jab is a perfect KO punch and he is very good timing it. I just feel that he could've been so much better then what will be remembered.
