Converted Southpaws????

The reason is the technical advantage in most cases. You don't see a lot of action against southpaws coming up and most fighters are use to conventional orthodox fighters. The southpaw stance gives you a different look and different angles for punches that your opponent will not be use to defending. The "strong side forward" is also a reason, but not as big as the tactical angle I believe. I may be tripping, but I think that Oscar is actually left handed but converted to conventional orthodox. That's why his left hook raped people. That being said, did oscar ever developed a good right hand/right hook,upper cut??? I can see that in boxing the forward side gets the most amount of action but a flip side to it, due these guys in a long run that convert become one handed fighters due to there strong side getting more action and the weakside remaining weak and vunerble to keep the guy at bay with the left hand or in oscars case a right hand???

How many right handers switched to southpaw??? Also what would be reason for it?? Is it injuries or trainers ideas to have the strong side forward for tactical advantage?? If so, doesnt that make the converted southpaw a one handed fighter??? The reason is the technical advantage in most cases.

I heard De La Hoya was originally a southpaw several times but I believe the TS was looking for fighters that were converted to southpaw not visa versa.

Chad Dawson is a right handed southpaw. As Run said, Tyson was a lefty fighting orthodox. Winky righty fighting southpaw. Ward is a switch hitter.

So what is the advantage of that??? Doesnt that make you a one handed fighter due to the fact that the weaker side doesnt get worked as much as the fron/jab lead side??? P.M. the Iceman and ask him. He's the pro trainer. But I think it's more to do with just strategy in developing a style. Tyson worked his way in with the jab being a bit smaller as a HW, Winky relied completely on his jab from the outside. That's what I think.

Wasn't Frankie Liles originally a right hander?

Think Juanma and Ortiz are right handed guys converted to southpaws. Not positive though.

The only cases I ever was aware of was supposedly, Tyson being a natural lefty converted to Orthodox by D'Amato, And Birmingham converting Wright to a Southpaw being a natural Righty.
