    Guys like Junior Witter...

    How many guys are switch hitters like junior witter and why is switch hitters rare in boxing I mean would it not be better in the long run once someone masters orthodox/southpaw.


    I mean most boxers train for many years but switch hitting seems like a rare skill to have is it not as useful???

      andre dirrell and andre ward

      it's nothing great, but i guess it can be useful, you'll always be better with your proper stance(depnding on if your right/left handed)

        hamed was a switch hitter and could KO from either stance. hagler also could do it.

        switch hitting mostly isn't useful, especially if you don't know how to do either right.

            I see so what your saying is quality over quantity. Better to have A class stance then a Two B class fighting stance. Makes sense but switch hitting seems like a cool style to watch too.

              it's a cool style if you know how and when to use it.
