    Pacquiao was born Ambidextrous. He can write with both hands.

      The term is cross-dominance when you favour one side for some tasks and the other side for others. Ambidexterity is a form of cross-dominance where you are equally adapt on both sides. Very few people are truly ambidextrous though it can be learnt for some tasks, while cross-dominance is quite common.

        Hell no. He has one of the best straight left hands in the history of boxing. He has an excellent right jab and right hook but he is absolutely positively a natural left hander.

          Cotto and Oscar hit much harder with their left than with their right. While Pacquiao has a very strong right hand he hits much harder with his left. While he may be very coordinated with both hands the tremendous power in his straight left makes me sure he is more of a southpaw than a right hander.

            Is Terence Crawford cross dominant? I notice he also boxes from southpaw but switches orthodox and does them equally well, doesn't he also write with both hands? Terence is the only fighter I seen who can fight comfortably from both stances.

            here is Pac playing darts with both hands.

                We're almost similar

                I shoot basketball with my left hand, throw darts with my left, play tennis with my left hand, table tennis with my right, write with my right hand. I feel my left is stronger, but I have better control with my right.

                  I write with my left hand, play sports with my right and eat with my left or right hand.
                  I think they call it cross-dominance.

                    Probably easier to learn to write and find a guitar player who could teach you right handed.

                    Back in the day, natural southpaws would be converted orthodox because well.... there wasn't a trainer who could teach the southpaw style!
