    Elorde (Pacquiao's cousin), Hagler and Whitaker, in no particular order.

    No, take your pick, and also include Vincente Saldivar as well.

    In another category: perhaps the toughest lefty ever.

    I worked with Rolando Navarette once who could put you out for two weeks, and Limon beat him by absorbing his best shots, flush!

    Navarette was a bad dude in and out of the squared circle, very intimidating, like a little "Quasimodo" a mean guy who didn't know what the words hold back were.

    Asking historians to rank fighters is a bit like asking a retarded kid (or REED) to divide 3674566 by 7

    I think Manny would be competetive, but he wouldnt have beaten Whitaker

    Gotta be top 3. I'd say Whitaker outranks Manny. I'd have Hagler above him too though you might conceivably make an argument. But I think he's certainly top 3. Flash Elorde & Tiger Flowers would probably be the next two with Vincent Salvidar, Khaosai Galaxy & Calzaghe behind them? Might well be an interesting project to make up a top 10 list.

    Antonio Tarver is the greatest southpaw. He Ko'd Superman with one shot.

    Not exactly on topic but Manny is one of the few southpaws i've ever liked.

    If i had it my way they would be banned.
