    Not sure, but i think Kessler, and Moorer are righthanded.

    Sorry my mistake, Kessler isn't a southpaw. It's the other way round, he's lefthanded and fights out of the orthodox stance.

    Kessler is ambidextrous.

    Really!.......I didn't know that! I never seen him fighting out of the southpaw stance though. I wonder how good he'd be fighting as one.

    Michael Moorer was a converted righty.

    I'm right-handed, but I feel more comfortable and faster in the southpaw position..

    I was thinking about this the other day when they mentioned that Tony Thompson does this. You hear about plenty of left-handed fighters who box righty, but not the other way around

    It can help sometimes. I can switch stance ok, and I have a friend who's a natural lefty but typically boxes Orthodox; but he's more than capable of switching to Southpaw and becomes frighteningly powerful when his left turns into his power hand.
