Non-Natural Southpaws?

[Left2body]

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?

[BigSlick]

Hagler????

[Stromprophet]

Me, I'm a conventional converted to southpaw.

But I can switch hit too...

(Course I'm not a pro boxer though)

Michael Moorer I think.

Winky is right handed.

Tyson is left handed.

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.

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.

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"
