    no
    wilders coordination and balance are not that good orthodox

    he will leave himself off balance everytime if he tries to shoot straight lefts

    He can fight southpaw, doubt he could box as a southpaw as barely looks like a boxer in his orthodox stance.

    No Fury might fight as a southpaw to make his stance help keep him further away from the right hand and Fury has fought southpaw in previous fights, Wilder never has.

    If Wilder fought Southpaw it would nulify his own powerful right hand, which is his best shot along with the left hook.

    He would just confuse himself more.

    Fury should fight righty, but I have seen Fury fight very well as a southpaw. Perfect fight against Chisora!

    Why would he, his most dangerous weapon is the straight right.

    he can fight at orthodox but not box
    if he tried to fight southpaw he'd put himself at a disadvantage
