    He was originally a southpw.

      Hagler was a true ambidexterous fighter. But there are also numerous fighters who, although they never switched from southpaw to orthodox or vice versa, could hit just as hard with both hands, Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey, and Mike Tyson being some better examples.

        I remember reading somewhere that Liston was a converted southpaw but I've got a picture of him signing his signature with his right hand.
        May of been ambidextrous, only fought out of orthodox of course though.

        Kid Gavilan seemed to fight pretty good out of southpaw as well, from what I've seen he was excellent at switching between the two.

            I've never heard this. That said, it doesn't make him ambidextrous and I still haven't seen him fight southpaw. Not trying to be argumentative, only stating what I know.

                Yes but, he could have been made ambidextrous to a certain extent.
                Maybe I'm wrong and got mixed up, I'm looking for evidence at the moment.
