Maybe that explains why I tend to square up from an orthodox stance. One of my biggest flaws is getting back into proper position after throwing the cross...unless I clean it up with a left hook. That usually gets me back correct. I probably am a little front footed, now that I think about it.

I did a little padwork southpaw today and it's interesting. My stance is actually more natural and I square up less. From orthodox, my elbows have a tendency to get wide. I've had to work a lot to keep them in and sometimes they still open. Southpaw my arms naturally fall into better position. Who know? My jab feels great from southpaw, but that's about it. I may work on it a little, but I'm pretty committed to orthodox at this point.
