Joe's weight was up to 230 lbs. when he was a teenager.

Did not know he was a southpaw. :)

That is what the so-called Boxing Experts said.

But, Joe wrote with his right-hand.

Some of the early Joe followers said, that Joe fought from the southpaw stance
because he was never taught proper technique when he first got started.

When I started boxing I naturally went to a southpaw stance because I wanted my right hand (which is the strongest) to jab people in the face. I was told I should go orthodox and developed a brilliant (Ike Quartey/Thomas Hearns/Mike McCallum) jab with my left.

You should have, a jab like that would be a thing of beauty. Your shorts were awesome though.
