    hey guys there are many fighters out there that are natural southpaws yet fight right handed (ODLH, Cotto , Barrera).

    my question is why havent i even herd of a converted orthadox fighter (right hander that fights left handed)

    i admire barrera and try and emulate what i see to the best of my ability however as a natural right hander iv started fighting southpaw more and more and its gotten to the point now where i feel pretty comftorble doing so (even catching myself naturally switching to naturally)

    Michael Moorer, Juan Urango. Of course, I'd only try learning boxing technique from one of those two. :lol:

    Manny Pacquiao is either right handed or ambidextrous; he isn't left handed.

    Winky Wright is a brilliant example, simply amazing right hand.

    You're switching? I usually despise fighters doing that because it takes a special type of timing and co-ordination to pull it off succesfully without getting caught mid transition
