Maybe...not certain of the solidity of my top 10, but it's a first draft.
Herol Graham is missing from the list.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Makes you realize there actually arent THAT many, my first thought was you must be missing some obvious ones, but drawing a blank unless you go back the better part of a century, and then I just wouldnt know. What about guys like Tyson or De la hoya, who in fact were lefties that fought orthodox. It surely did impact the things they were good at, much the way Hagler or most any truly good switch hitter can be so effective. I dont think Martinez has any business on the list honestly, kind of always thought he was more of a cool style but overrated. He got a late start to boxing so maybe could have been up there, but for me nah.
The first southpaw heavyweight champion that deserves a mention but not on the list Michael Moorer and someone who defiantly should not be on the list Charles Martin.
Switch hitters should not be included.

i like what i've seen of young corbett iii. saldivar. flash elorde. shout out to flowers and tendler. some names to consider
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
From the list gotta go with Whitaker. From ones over last few decades..
Whitaker
Winky Wright..belongs in any era.
Manny
Camacho
Mark Johnson
Nunn
Calzaghe
Byrd
Hamed
Zaragoza
Top notch going today Crawford largely switch hitter, Spence Jr. Andrade, Usyk, Regis Prograis
Winky Wright was a good one, forgot about that genius boxer.
