    my right arm is stronger than my left arm but I still use the southpaw stance bec. my footwork is kinda lefty.(right foot leading) I always wanted to use the right-handed stance but i just can't get use to it. anybody who has this problem?

    Your footwork cannot be lefty all the time, I believe you lead with the foot in the direction your going.

    Right ---> lead with right
    Left ---> lead with left
    Forward ---> lead with front
    Backwards ---> lead with back

    otherwise, if you get hit when your feet are together, you'll get sat on your ass. So, maybe if you fix up your footwork you can box orthodox... but, being a southpaw would be an advantage I think, people will naturally tend to circle into their power hand. :)
