    many fighters have been natural southpaws and converted to orthodox(right handed). my question is is how hard is it to go from being a natural left hander to become a right hander. i believe jake lamotta was a natural lefty and changed to righty just to get fights(i also believe that being naturally left handed gave him such a good left hook)what does one have to do to change this.(ive also seen lamotta change to southpaw in a fight then back to being a righty.)
