    How would you rate De la Hoya as a power puncher?

    In the lightweight divisions his left hook was devastating. When he reached his legitimate division Welterweight he was still a good puncher. He could hurt anybody. Not with the right though.

    His power came from his speed and technique. He threw a hell of a left hook for sure. Very strong in his stance and he always had impeccable timing.

    How would you rate the power of his left hook compared to other light weights and welterweights ?

    Great left hook guy. Had nothing in his right hand but had a great hook.
