What about Vincente Saldivar? Still put Hagler and maybe Manny above though.
Just a dude in blue.

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. CamachoHill and J Watanabe were not too shabby.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

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

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.

Anyhow.
Here are two I would at least mention.

Not above many of the ones previously mentioned but what about Jim Watt?
Or maybe I'm just older than everyone else.
