Bigger Puncher: Oscar De La Hoya Or Shane Mosley?

You guys think Shane has a GOOD chance of KO'ing Floyd? Maybe his punch power has gone down since roiding (don't believe it myself). Thing is, at the last 5 sec of the ODLH fight, Floyd got hit with a huge shot and didn't seem to be phased by it. And that was at 154.

Shane probably can only win over the judges with a crazy workrate, imo.

 

Mosley

 

It's already been said on the first page, Mosley has more overall power, Oscar has the big money shot (his left hook).

 

Mosley has a good left hook. Oscar has a killer left hook.
Mosley has a very good overhand right. Oscar has a substandard right.

Mosley overall. Plus in most cases Mosley is quicker and more explosive with his punches.

 

Right hand = Mosley
Left hand = DLH

 

Oscar in his early years at the lighter weights was a huge puncher , way bigger than Mosley has been at any weight .

Mosley has a bomb of a right hand , its a difficuilt one id have to give the edge to Oscar .

 

Yes.

 

Exactly

 

what he said.

 

mosley IMO

 

The "weakness" of Oscar's right hand is also severely exaggerated. Oscar had good power with his right, but GREAT power with his left. His left jab was awesome, and his left hook was one of the best ever. Oscar also had a great left uppercut that he didn't use quite as often. I would say that Shane definitely had more power in his right hand though... while Oscar had way more power in his left... and Oscar's one punch knockout power was much greater than Shane's.

 

Shane has more sledging power, meanwhile, Oscars left hook may be more of a numbing type of punch.

If Shane hits you with his overhand right, there's no way you're 147lbs without feeling the effect of it.

 

Again, common opponents.

Mosley KO 12 in a tough extremely close fight.

 

Let us say that early in the fight, DLH has more power in his left hook.

Later in the fight, Mosley's left hook is just as good as DLH's.

But at any point in the fight, Mosley has better right hand.

 

Just answer the damn queston. Obviously, Leija, Mayorga, Vargas, Rivera would all say ODLH is the bigger puncher.
