To see if they are actually left handed or right handed.

Marvin Haggler: fought southpaw, but writes with his right hand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGZ-WpG70rw

Oscar: Fought orthodox, but writes with his left hand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfzV5OkCeZY

Frazier: I thought I read somewhere that he is a natural left handed, but he signed with his right hand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLio0M0ohKc

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

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

Manny also signs with his right hand (even though he fights as a southpaw):
