    Was Tyson left handed? If so he had the greatest "weaker hand" in boxing history.

    You don't need to switch hit to fight a southpaw, so I do not see how this would be an issue.

    With the rare exception, southpaws are weaker than orthodox fighters.

    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Who said you had to switch hit to fight a southpaw?

    That statement has no basis in fact.
