Better Left Hook: Trinidad or De La Hoya

[No-mas-tias]

Tito's left hook was just so much powerful and his main weapon, you think Tito tou think about his left hook. While DLH had a very good one but was more all around defensive fighter.

I was just going to bring that up. Mayorga has his hands down and invites Tito to give it his best shot. Tito cracks him with 2 straight left hooks which don't seem to phase Mayorga.

IT'S EASIER TO TAKE A PUNCH WHEN YOU CAN SEE IT,NOT MUCH EASIER,BUT MAYO IS A MANIAC SO.........

Nice thread.

Both had nice left hooks.

Tito had a great one.

The way he got rid of Vargas,Campas,Joppy. Also had some good uppercuts.. ask Mamadou Thiam.

DLH cant put any up left hook KOs that compare to Tito's KO of Joppy. He had dynamite in that left hook. Damn, he coulda chopped down a tree...

Tito's left hook was beautifully thrown. It looked good. Oscar had a wierd left hook, doesnt really look as pleasing to the eye when thrown, however, it was equally as devastating. Oscar dropped many a fighter with that "gancho", i.e., Vargas, Mayorga, Carr, Quartey, Castillejo, Gatti, Rivera, Leija, Molina, Camacho. Plus Oscar's left hook comes during combinations which makes it that much more effective. I like how Tito's looked, but I think Oscar's would find the mark better than Tito's.

Trinidad had the better left hook, Oscar had a strong and fast hook but his speed made the difference, Trinidad was more about the POWER, Oscar always had a tendency to flurry and that waists A LOT of punches, he did that with Shane a whole lot, the punch was strong don't get me wrong but Tito is the type to smack you 1 time with that hook and you out of business, you closing up shop and it was the punch he made a reputation for himself using, Trinidad's hook was better for sure, Oscar's was good but trinidad's was better and thats just me being real, Oscar was fast and had good pop but Trinidad had 1 punch KO power with that shot, it's was more explosive because it only took 1 on the button to land to finish you.. 100

I feel you, Oscar could hurt some fools with his. He would sometimes use it in a flurry or combo, sneaking it in there, punch u dont see.....Tito would set it up and launch that mofo. And yeah, he could flatten people with it.

[pelonxsoldier28]

de la hoya hands down

[El Chicano]

Ok, what is considered better? Pure power? Accuracy? Ability to land the punch often? Speed? or a combination of all?

definitely bro Oscar was a beast a few years ago, that kinda faded out but against Mayorga he still showed shades of many years ago, Mayorga got KTFO with a hook he didn't even see, that **** was gully and reflected the Oscar that I been wanting to see for a while..
