    Just looking at the highlights of his fights I noticed Mike could switch to a southpaw stance.

    He wasn't. You're watching a mirror image, my friend.

    Look at the script on the ringposts.

    I read he liked to fight out of southpaw when he was younger but had it ironed out of him. Maybe he was feeling born again or chasing comfort/familiarity in the ring?

    I think southpaw Tyson and southpaw Botha are fantasy fight personalities.

    Botha was made to look like Muhammad Ali in this fight.

    Yes by holding a lot and being flabby like late 70`s Ali.

    No he did switch to southpaw to land right hoks however just changed tyhe title as I saw a fake vid which reversed his fight v Botha making him look like a southpaw in that vid which is why I wrote fake vid above it.
