    Who are the boxers that are best switching from righty to lefty or vice-versa? I will fight righty but have a fascination over switch hitting and sometimes practice it:lol:.

    Thanks guys. I have most of Hagler's fights so it shouldn't be too hard getting his fights lol. As for Naseem, quite a bit of his fights are on youtube so I shouldn't have a problem with him either.

    I never found Roy was overly effective when switching Southpaw. I find he became predictable in that stance. You know he's gonna try and loop in a big sizzling left and then go back to Orthodox. Of course, Roy is the kind of guy that even if you know what he's gonna do, in his prime he could often still do it anyway.

    Also I include Mike Tyson, Tho not in stance, when in a combo he would throw & finish his combo's in the southpaw stance.

    Cotto was pretty good when he switched to southpaw, he had a murderous left hook to the body
