    Who are better boxers? Left handers or Right handers?

    Do you think one has more of an advantage? I'm going with left handed people because their use to do everything with their right since they have to adjust to alot of right handed things.

      It all depends on styles. Cause southpaws are real crap against certain type of styles.

        Left.

        Alot of the top boxers are left handed but fight orthodox.

          I don't know if it really matters, but left handers seem to have a little advantage and it seems a lot of big punchers are southpaws.

            A lot of south paws seem to be better technical boxers then right handers but I wouldn't say that one is better then the other over all.

            Also a lot of south paws change because out of that stance you are closer to the jab and have more problems with head buts being that they end up turning on a punch in the same direction as the righty opponent.

                Southpaws have a small advantage.

                    Hagler was actually right handed. So is Winky Wright.
