First off I write with my left and kick with my left foot and I think my dominant eye is my right, but I feel like my right hand is my strongest one, so am not sure which stance I should take. Anyone got any advice?

how long have you been boxing for and which stance feels more natural? if your right hand is stronger then it would be better to have it as your back hand

more accurate hand(hand you have more control over) on the back
the back hand has to travel a long distance, you need it accurate and the controled to let the force travel from feet to fist to chin

There's nothing to be confused about. Stand the way you feel most comfortable. Your power hand does NOT have to be the back hand. It can be your lead the way it's been for many great and legendary fighters.
If you feel better in a southpaw stance, then stick with that one. The key is to not keep switching back and forth until you get one down really well. Learn one side, stick with it and then who knows, you might be able to switch back and forth between the two in the future.

Was in the gym today and on the pads and asked my coach what he thinks, he made me do 1-2's on the bag and was watching my movement, both are convinced that am a southpaw with my movement as I look less awkward and move better and my body mechanics look more natural. Only problem for me is my left straight does not feel right but am going to work on it, but my lead right hook feels good. I guess am a southpaw then? Thanks for the advice people

Basicaly it was a sarcastic way of saying do what comes natural for you and drop all of the drama. Just do it..... Rockin'
