An illustration showing boxers in both the orthodox and southpaw stances would be useful for this article. Unfortunately, I lack the talent to draw one. Any ideas? Spottacus 17:17, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
I created Orthodox (boxing) and I think it was a good article with more detailed and specific subject matter than Orthodox Stance. Someone since merged some of its text with Orthodox Stance, but I believe there's a place for each, the distinction being that Orthodox Stance is general and could be applied to boxing, wrestling, some martial arts, and MMA. Orthodox (boxing) is very specific to boxing, or at least that's the way I wrote it. Brain Rodeo 14:59, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
The opening states that the Orthodox stance is for a right-handed boxer to fight with his left foot forward. The "southpaw" stance is the same thing, the left-handed boxer leads with his right side. An "alternative" stance would logically mean that a left-handed fighter with the left foot forward or a right-handed boxer with his right foot forward.
In other words, from what I read on the page, the southpaw stance is absolutely orthodox, and no alternative stance is mentioned or described.
I have no stake in this; I don't follow boxing and was only here because I'm profiling Muhammad Ali for qotd.org at the moment. But I expect a high standard of logic and clarity here. Vanhorn ( talk) 08:57, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
