Seamus, any changes you would now make?
I agree with Alp on Saldivar. And Minter is surely better than Zab Judah???
Watanabe and Gushiken could climb.

Gushinken would definitely get my vote as one of the most stylistically exciting southpaws. you don't get too many lefties who'll stand and bang like Fierce Eagle, who's a nother on my list of suspected right-handed southpaws
Re: My Top 100 Southpaws Of All Time
Pac would climb too now.
Re: My Top 100 Southpaws Of All Time
Yeah he would surely be top 3 now. Does Hagler really count though being right handed or is it just the stance you fought primarily in?

Winky, Moorer, Hagler. IMO Paulie Ayala was right-handed, my guess also Gushinken.

Gushiken a right-handed southpaw, bruv?
I need to watch more of him (whenever I do, I'm mostly distracted by the hair/tache combo...).

Re: My Top 100 Southpaws Of All Time
i reckon so meself bruv, have a look at the way he sets himself to throw the counter right hook, and the leverage he gets into that punch as opposed to his left hand. IMO he's got that habit right handed southpaws have of almost 'sitting' their weight over the right hip, ready to fire back and across with the right hand. i'm doing a lot of southpaw work at the moment meself, as it happens.

Juanma Lopez does/did it bigtime, Victoria Ortiz to an extent as well
Re: My Top 100 Southpaws Of All Time
I'd make lot's of changes. It's funny how you're thinking evolves. For instance, Pacquiao retires a couple fights ago and maybe I have him number 1. Joe Calzaghe has moved up as well. Maybe one day I'll try and re-do it.
