    I’d suspect Callum Smith.

    Rodolfo Martinez

    Also, Tony DeMarco was actually right-handed but fought southpaw as an amateur (he once said, when I started out, somehow my right foot was extended and suddenly i was a southpaw) and was then converted to right handed as a pro.

    Oscar and Cotto are both left handed orthodox fighters. I really wanna say Tyson is as well but I'm not certain

    Really? Source? I’ve seen him signing right handed and he wasn’t weak with his rear hand or over reliant on the left so that’s curious if true.

    There are articles of his sparring partners attesting to him being a converted south paw. Wouldnt call that proof tho. well @swagdelfadeel , was he?

    I think Al bummy Davis was a converted SP. He did KO Bob Montgomery in the first round with a left hook. One of the fastest upsets ever.
