Marvin Hagler wasn't a natural southpaw which is why got so many people in trouble with the right jab (and flattened Hearns with it).

Was he? Bloody hell!

Anyway, Michael Moorer is, I believe, a right-handed southpaw (opposite of what this thread asks, but bennie's gone & mentioned Hagler now, so...)

I must admit I don't understand this thread. Does he mean left-handed orthodox fighters?

yep, although the term Northpaw is a new one on me!

Winky Wright is one I believe.

*edit*

sorry, confusion. Winky is other way round, right handed southpaw.

Charles "The HAtchet" Brewer was a left-handed orthodox fighter if my memory serves me right. Turned southpaw for a few fights at the end of his career but was mostly orthodox. Gave Calazghe a pretty good fight, although was well beaten in the end.

Hmm yes in fact here is a clip of him signing gloves with his right hand.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk5P7QIKaO4

He certainly seems to fight like a left handed person though, and his left hook is his money shot.

Anyone know if he is a natural left hander taught to write with his right hand?
