    Is Pac a natural leftie? I've heard multiple answers to this. supposedly he writes with his right hand. I've heard some say he's naturally right handed, others say he might be ambidextrous.

    He gets knocked out if you hit him on either side of the chin.

    Yeah, I've always wondered this as well. He's always fought southpaw style, but his hand dominance may differ.

    I don't know, but he shoots a basketball left handed and throws darts right handed.

    converted southpaw, but his strong hand is his left. Nonito is right handed but his strong hand is his left, but fights as an orthodox. Lebron james is left handed but shoots and dunks with his right.

    Cotto, Juama Lopez, lomachenko and ODLH all lead with their strong hand but have a weak straight.

    Lomachenko's straight left is one of his most damaging punches.

    yeah, its ok but its not like he ko guys with it. Victor and kirkland are converted southpaws too and their left straights do damage too, it doesnt mean that their left hands are stronger.

    im pretty sure he is natural. i remember a while back looking up a list of converted southpaws as i know barrera is so is cotto and delahoya.. surely pac is a bigger name so his would have shown up in my search results before those listed
