No, you don't.
Not if you judge distance properly; off your right foot. Plus, you get a full body turn on the punch and you can hide the punch behind your left shoulder until the very end.
What?
It is nothing at all like punching across the body. A full body turn on a right hand and punching across the body with a right are nearly mutually exclusive.
Any time the elbow leaves the body there's an opening. If you throw the punch right, there's no difference in the opening, but there is a difference in the target presented and the recovery, not to mention the punch being twice as hard. You thinking that offense gets limited by the stance just means you haven't been taught it properly.
How do you throw a punch then?
Let us not forget,
That in Round 4, Bob Foster was trying to 'bait' the young Mike Quarry into leading,
so he would open up.
Bob was moving in, and baiting Mike, by lowering his left.

This is the closest thing that I've seen in the gyms today how ever unlike Mike's side to side stance. The modern stance is to put the left foot in out in front of the right foot. This photo tutorial is priceless since it allows me to demonstrate visually.
Deontay wilder is an example of the modern day stance with small hip movement. http://cdn1.sbnation.com/assets/4143...ik_Scott_2.gif
The guy in that example turned all the way through that right hand.
