The traditional boxing stance assumes you are right handed and stand with the left side of your body forward. The logic behind it is you're using your most powerful punch with your dominant hand. The emphasis is on the one two, find the range with your left jab, then land with the right.
Lately this boxing theory has been turned upside down. Bruce Lee was right hand dominant and he fought in a South paw stance. Vasily Lomachenko is right hand dominant and he fights southpaw, Ryan Garcia uses orthodox stance but there's no way he's right handed. Terrence Crawford finds a lot of success with southpaw while being right handed. What is the logic of putting your best foot forward?
