Who would you say is the greatest southpaw(s) of all time?

[Master]

If I'm not mistaken, I could swear I've seen Mike Tyson fight southpaw in one of his earlier fights. (Not sure how he faired as a southpaw and I'm not even one hundred percent positive I've actually seen him fight left-handed).

He use to finish off his opponents sometimes in a southpaw stance like against Holmes. Someone said he was left handed but do not know if that is true.

Khaosai Galaxy deserves a mention.

Fighters not mentioned would be Michael Nunn, Joel Casamayor, Chris Byrd and I believe Carmen Basillio was a southpaw.

What about Vincente Saldivar? Still put Hagler and maybe Manny above though.

Have to go Pernell off the top. Def Saldivar. Theres boat loads that were quality. Personal favs had to be Yoko Gushiken, Mark f'kn Johnson. Marvin Johnson, not the best by far but you'll find no bigger heart. Camacho Hill and J Watanabe were not too shabby.

Virgil Hill?

Manny pacquaio is the greatest southpaw of all time.

I was almost certain no one would mention Saldivar...
Good shout on him, def. one of the best lefties to do it.

Slim pickings at southpaw if Chris Byrd has to be on this list.

Pernell Whitaker

I think the only one not mentioned yet is Ronald 'Winky' Wright. In his day he was fairly unstoppable. Joe Calzaghe deffo deserves top5 status if not higher.

Good call on Galaxy, might be the hardest punching southpaw ever. Maybe not an all time great Zaragoza was a really good Mexican southpaw. Naseem Hamed hasn't been mentioned? I didn't like him but he's probably in the top 10. Obviously Whitaker, Hagler and Pacquiao are the 3 best though imo with Whitaker as the best. Winky was a personal favorite of mine too.
