So since then I avoided the soutpaw stance, but I never felt comfortable as an orthodox boxer. So I went back to southpaw, I felt a lot more comfortable then. So the point is....for me southpaw stance is a lot more comfortable. It just seem to have better angles, I feel like I'm harder to hit and my left is quicker than my right straight. I always thought it was because I have a heavy lazy left hand, which I use less but for a harder punch. My right hand is a lot more active but does not seem as heavy.

What about any of you guys out there, what is your experience or thoughts?

Maybe some fighters also feel uncomfortable with the left hand upfront. If I were a boxer, I would have been southpaw also. Southpaws according to some are very difficult to fight.They make you look awkward. I don't know if it's always true.
