Tyson was a southpaw?

Yeah. That's why the lefthook is so strong, I think he prefers hitting with his right hand though.

Converted southpaw

damn, the way he punched back in the day, you wouldn't notice he was a southpaw.

Look at how Tyson threw that right to the body, right uppercut to the head combo....it was almost always done while he had the right foot in front.
No matter how his feet were, he always got tremendous leverage on his shots.
