    I watched some of his past fights, the guy is fantastic and is coming along well.

    Tight guard, quick right jab, and a strong left hook.

    He may just have no match at 140 lbs very soon. What do you guys think?

    I agree, I think hes gonna make some waves very soon. I think in a year or so he'll be at the top of the division.

    Well try his 140 counterpart Ricky Hatton for one.

    His left hook is undoubedly his strongest punch, yet he's right handed.

    Vasquez is right-handed - his left hook is his best punch.

    You don't really follow boxing do you?

    So how do you know it's not done to technique?

    How do you know which hand was more 'raw' power noob?

    I would argue by saying that both hands have the same natural raw power. It's just what had you feel comfortable with punching more, which comes down to technique. Which is probably why his left is more effective.

    Now kindly STFU Noob.

    Ridiculous assumption to say that his right hook would of been more powerful from a southpaw stance than his left hook from an orthodox.

    If it was, why wouldn't he turn southpaw more often? Not only would this provide him with a difficult stance for his opponent to contend with from a defensive & offensive point of view, but his punches would be a lot harder by your logic.

    The fact is, Tito's main power punches were the left hook and straight right. If his right hook and straight left were more powerful, he would of used them.

    He didn't.

    So be it. He needs to learn.

    He will thank me for educating him on the subject in the future.

    Though I don't expect him to back down from the arguement now.

    I write with my left hand, yet do everything else better with my right hand.
