Right Handed Southpaws

Are right handed southpaws the most dangerous boxers ?. Fighting an opponent who boxes in the southpaw stance can be difficult for a lot of boxers to deal with but a right handed southpaw who leads with an extra powerful jab and usually has considerable power in his left hand makes for a real handful

I can't even think of any true right handed southpaws maybe Marvin Hagler or Paul Mc Closkey.

I have heard that a right handed southpaw was the more dangerous, as his right was every bit as powerful as the left. I agree, as I was a right handed soutpaw and I always felt my jab and right hook were every bit a s strong as my left cross. I could have only been imagining it, but it did feel real......

It's not quite the same but Kelly Pavlik and Oscar de la Hoya are both left handed orthodox fighters

Andy Lee is one. Andy is naturally right handed, but fights in a southpaw stance.

yep, I'm a left handed orthodox fighter - always felt comfortable behind my jab and knew I could step inside with a hook and sideways with a right as I came out. Pretty useful but I always thought that you would lose the KO power if you led with your strongest/fastest hand

I'm a right handed southpaw. I posted a thread about this on a well known MMA forum and I got a huge response. I'll find the thread for you.

My reasoning for right handed southpaw is I'm left legged but right handed. It's confusing to my brain.
