    Pretty much. But De La Hoya's left hook is more lethal than anything Mosley throws.

    I think its a tie but I also think Mosley is a bit stronger and I think thats what makes the difference in his fight with Mayweather.

    Good question. My money's on Oscar for one punch power. Judging this by how quickly they dispatched opponents, in particular opponents both fought.

    Oscar left hook > Mosley right hand, but Mosley right hand = really powerful.

    Ridiculous question. It's De La Hoya without a shadow of a doubt... Mosley has never been considered a big puncher except by some of his jock riding fans around here.

    When a big puncher begins to lose speed so much of their arsenal loses its effect. DLH's speed at the end of his career was practically like that of John Ruiz. Mosley's speed has kept up, so yes, Mosley can hurt Floyd.

    Oscar's left hand is more powerful than anything Shane throws! Sorry but it's true!

    The first Vargas-Mosley fight was stopped in the 10th, and Vargas at that point was coming on and possibly leading on the scorecards, a one eyed vargas.

    It wasn't untill the 6th round of the rematch that Mosley was able to truly stop Vargas. But if Vargas was shot against Mosley I, he was shot to hell in the second fight.

    Hence taking him 16 rounds to stop Vargas.

    Pretty much, ODLH proved to have better punching power.

    Mayorga
    Rivera
    Leija

    I pretty much agree with this. Both have respectable power.

    Oscar's left hook v Mosley's overhand right. I'd take Oscar's left as he seemed to time it better

    Oscar has the harder punch with the left without question.

    Mosley has the harder punch with the right without question.

    In my opinion, Oscar's left is more dangerous and harder than Mosley's right.

    Mosley puts punches with both hands together better than Oscar in my opinion, so I would say Mosley is the better puncher, though Oscar packs the better single punch.

    Oscar is a harder sharper puncher, but Shane might be stronger inside. Oscar is more the one punch knockout artist. Shane is not.
