Fighters who are right handed, but fight as a southpaw (and vice versa) are interesting

Re: Watching youtube videos of boxers signing autographs
what constitutes right handed or left handed anyway? - I write with my right hand but when I bat at cricket the left hand does all the difficult work and the right simply adds a bit of power.
there are books and studies on this subject - it's not as cut and dried as one would imagine
