Hey guys I was wondering since there are and have been many lefty fighters who have converted to the traditional fighting stance i.e. Cotto and DLH. I was wondering if anyone has ever been a righty and fought in a southpaw stance?
Yeah Tyson's left hook to the body was his best punch, because that was the hand he wrote with. That punch was pretty nasty also, he really leaned into it.
Tyson himself actually claimed his best punch was his right. But I dont know man that left was Dynamite!

The guy got pasted but thats coz he was pipe, fighting southpaw did help him tho if he didnt fight that way he woulda been cannon fodder! It convinced me to giv it a try but after half a round of sparring i relised i couldnt throw a left cross for shit! I never new Tyson was a converted Southpaw! Did u see how brutal Cotto's left cross was against Quintanna when he turned Southpaw? U could really tell he was a natural left hander.
Obviously I mean natural Southpaw with Tyson.
See thats what I was thinking. Someone could used that stance for that awkward advantage.
I didn't know Winky was naturally right handed. Has he ever stated why he fights in a Southpaw stance i.e. did he injure his right hand or arm when younger?
I played with a guy who broke his arm when he was younger and started throwing a football with his left. He played Quarterback as a lefty even though he was righty.
He could throw very well with either arm but I guess he just felt more natural as a left and it stuck. But one time guy had him by his jersey on his left side he switch hands with the ball and threw a 15 yard pass.

Good stuff on Moore and Wright I didn't know that about them. Damn Hot Topic I'm begining to believe you have a pre-publishing edition of "ESPN Stats and Record Guide to Boxing"
Nah, if you want some serious stats to work with, here are some guys:

I'm just spitting what I know, those guys are surreal.
There are several noteworthy fighters that are converted southpaws. Michael Moorer, Marvin Hagler, Wayne Braithwaite, Ronald Wright, Mike Tyson, Oscar De La Hoya, and Miguel Cotto are all converted southpaws. There are some benefits and some drawbacks though.
With Cotto and De La Hoya, these guys have brilliant left hooks that they have perfected through an unnatural stance that give them an advantage of superior power for their stronger hand. Of course, the drawbacks are there, as they can't wipe their asses with their right hands.
Moorer and Wright had superior right hand jabs, that was their best punches. Of course, they don't have whoppers of left crosses, though.
Francisco Figueroa is a converted southpaw, so he needs to square up and loop his left hand to get power. He can't throw it straight to get the leverage on it that a natural southpaw can.

Theres a guy that used to go to my boxing club that did that just to try and give him that awkward advantage, he was a bit tricky sumtimes but he usualy got mangled!
