    So is Crawford mainly southpaw or orthodox?

    In Crawford's earlier fights that I've watched he seems to be mostly boxing in Orthodox stance. But in his most recent fights particularly after the Gamboa fight he seems to be in Southpaw stance almost the entire time.

    So is Crawford mainly a southpaw fighter or is he orthodox? By that I mean which stance is he better in. And how will that play out against Khan who has a tricky style?

    My opinion he is a converted southpaw. He's right-handed and prefers his dominant hand as the lead

      It's a hell of an advantage to be able to switch between both depending on the situation.

        He's definitely more comfortable now as a southpaw. When he fought Jeff Horn, I thought (and Bo Mack too) that he was better suited using the orthodox stance. But Bud wanted to stay in southpaw. I'd love to see him go back to orthodox again at least one time for old times sake (not for Khan tho).

          He's a southpaw. He fights southpaw more than not. I would bet he was taught to fight orthodox.
