    His right does have pop, he's hurt people with the right hand earlier in his career and his jab was always strong enough to punch peoples gloves out of their guard to set-up for the left, not something a peppering jab does.




    He and Roach have stated that he's naturally ambidextrous, hence the mixed use and strength in both hands. IMO his balance issues had more to do (with his big ass head) his aggressiveness. He didn't wait for the shot to open so he'd lunge in at weird angles to make openings. Being in balance limits the kind of punches you can throw.
    ^^^the 2nd bold makes sense.

    and I know he has pop in his right hand now, what I meant was, he would've utilized his right as a more effective jab than he had in his lower weights if it was his better hand. Frankly, I don't think, if he is an indeed converted southpaw (orthodox), he would've lunged in with his left so often, instead he would've jabbed the **** outta of whoever with his "natural" right hand (since he chose to fight southpaw). Pac has always had heavy hands, helped in his power in either hand, but I don't see how anybody can possibly think pac is a converted southpaw. (so based on that, for anyone who got lost, I think he is a natural southpaw)
