    He's definitely a switch-hitter. Just a little unproven at this stage.

    To be fair there doesn't seem to be a big list of switch-hitters either now or ever.

    he wasnt the best, but its still my favorite display, morales on pac. the cockiness of it against someone who turned out to be one of the best ever. pac eventually forced some respect, though.

    How the hell does Fury compare to Bud as a switch-hitter?

    It's completely meaningless. Number of no mas wins, JTFO KDs and KOs, level of slickness, level of punch resistance, and scalps harvested in your opponent's backyards, and immaculate CCA are the only metric greatness is measured by.

    Besides Hagler, Crawford, Fury, and Ennis. Roy Jones Jr and Naseem Hamed were known for switching stance from time to time.
