What in your opinion was Oscar dlhs biggest strength

Left hook, balls, decent chin.

 

Great unusual left hook.

 

Without a doubt his jab, best displayed in his gold medal run and in the Trinidad fight.

 

I was going to say his size. Up until about Welterweight, he just seem taller and bigger than anyone he fought.

 

Mindset, willingness to face the best, size (particularly at Lightweight), great left jab/brutal left hook (he's a converted southpaw from memory) good overall skills.

He was a force for a good portion of his career.

 

His jab.

For a major cash cow, he also had quite the 'throwback' mentality.

 

A very educated left hand, be it the jab, hooks, or uppercuts. Height and reach advantage in most/all of his fights. Great speed in his prime. A willingness to fight the best available win , lose, or draw. ( Very little if any "Creative "match making like Mayweather Jr) .

 

HIs willingness to take big fights against prime fighters. So rare now.

 

Left Hook, Chin and confidence in his abilities to take on the best. Those are the ones that come to mind

 

Sheeeeiiitttt! You are ALL WRONG. ODLAHOYAS greatest strength is the millions he has to pay off the Nevada commission judges and referees to keep Canelo undefeated.

 

Nah man, that's Nelo's biggest strength. That and his bicycle.

Del a Hoya's greatest strength imo is his fishnets. Truly terrifying.

 

His jab and hook. Good handspeed. Threw nice flurries.

 

His left hand in general, both the jab and the hook.

He badly injured his hand in his early win over Troy Dorsey, and it never fully recovered, per Oscar himself. I can only imagine how potent his arsenal would have been without that injury.
