    Put the question in another sport....would you take a left handed pro pitcher or hitter in baseball and try to switch him to right hand?
    When I was a kid in grade school, the teachers would not allow a kid to write left handed...it created a lot of frustration and resentment on the kid.
    My opinion..if he is left handed--teach him left handed, you can later develop some right hand punching technique...but work with his natural ability first.

    My son is left handed, but he is ambidextrous he can switch hit he fight's orthodox, it's what you
    are comfortable with. Yes scrap you are right, Hagler, was orthodox.
