Which fighters could easily change their stances (Orthodox/Southpaw) without it hindering their performace in the fight?
Jake LaMotta could do it, but we seldom see it. But in the tenth and final round of Bob Murphy II with the match on the line, he extended his career by stepping forward with his right and unloading four left leads to clinch the bout, looking very comfortable in that stance. There's also an amateur clip where he's on the attack, and punches as he steps forward into a southpaw position. Hagler's switch hitting could work against him, betraying confusion, as happened in the early going with Marcos Geraldo. Benitez did it infrequently enough that he did surprise opponents with it.
I think people always associate this topic with guys that switch their stance for long periods of time but the reality is to see the true effectiveness of delivering punishment from a switch stance, just look at the subtlety of James Toney. Two of his best looking KO's where when he subtlety switched to southpaw and knocked out Michael Nunn and Jason Robinson. Most will think those ko's were traditional left hooks but look closely at his feet. He switched to southpaw when he threw those punches.
