No one has mentioned another factor. Sometimes southpaws are turned orthodox because it is easier to get fights. As you know, most slick southpaws are avoided.
I think he changed because his lead right couldn't swat a fly to death

Thats a good point. Winky is a prime example

You would think a fighter would want to be a southpaw given how much trouble they usually give orthodox fighters. But I guess it comes down to what a fighter is most comfortable with
DLH adopted the shoulder roll from Floyd.
Toney and Evander also use it. The problem Oscar has is his right hand.
You need an effective right hand with that style, and Oscar's right is a liitle sub par.
OMG is tha why? did mayweather tell him 2 fite with his hand by his waist? Why would ne1 do that, it is seriously the stupidest thing ever. DLH would be so much better if he would just fuck mayweather off. I hope they have a massive falling out and then to get bak at him ODLH fights Mayweather jr at 147. That would be an awsome fight.
hehe not gonna happen according to DLH, Mayweather Sr. is like his best friend now.
Either way DLH is all business, no boxing these days. He wont be fighting till september. He is not gonna do anything great anymore he is done.
smokin joe Frazier was also a lefty turned orthodox. he thought he could build up his strength more on his right side and be a more balanced fighter, but he always had more power in the left
yea my trainer told me something about that, he couldnt look to well from one of his eyes and thats why he fought orthodox, im a righty and fight southpaw i do it cuz i just jab and move and im not a big power puncher just straight punches and get there faster with my right hand at southpaw stance

hehe by the way i thought u were gonna ask why he started fighting with his left hand at his waist... that was because supposively Floyd Mayweather Sr. is the best trainer in the world. :rolleyes:
They figure their left hook will be more effective and another orthodox fighter is more likely to be more cautious of the right hand of his oponent than the left hand which for a lefty would be where most of his power is at.
MAB is also a Lefty turned orthodox by the way.
I never knew that, but it some guys who use the jab like to make it stronger by fighting strong side forward. Maybe that is why. I really have no idea about his original stance.
