    Just wondering what boxers out there fight left-handed but are natural right-handers.

    I know Winky Wright is in that category. I think Pavlik is the reverse (though he might just be ambidextrous).

    Is Calzaghe a natural righty? He sort of fights like it

    danny williams is an obvious southpaw that has been converted to fight orthodox.

    you can see it in his arms.

    his left arm is nearly twice the size of his right arm.

    Hagler, and Dela Hoya is the opposite, a lefty that fights righty,

    I think that big Tony Thompson (not the welterweight) guy is a natural righty who fights lefty. Him and Moorer are all that I know of.

    Mike Tyson was a left hander who switched to orthodox.

    Most boxers look somewhat like that. The lead arm just does so much work. Liston isan obvious example (huge left arm)

    There is absolutely now way of explaining why Joe Calzaghe's right is so good.

    Possibly the best jab of all time.

    Pretty sure I read somewhere Cristian Mijares is naturally right handed.
