    Is Using the Strong Hand in the Lead Better?

    This guy certainly thinks so, as did Bruce Lee, Mike Tyson and Lomachenko. What are your thoughts?

    I think it depends on the fighter and either way can work. Trinidad, Cotto, De La Hoya and Ward are all left handed boxers who fight with their strong left hand as the lead hand. Mayweather, Hearns, Leonard and Duran are all right handed boxers who lead with their weak hand.

      This is true.

      The guy in the video probably goes overboard but it's an interesting concept. Having that strong hand up front does feel pretty cool. I guess it's all in the particular fighter.
