    Who punches harder, and how much harder?

    A 154lb, 34 year old Oscar De La Hoya with Reyes gloves (gloves with less padding) or a 147, 38 year old Sugar Shane Mosley? And how much harder (like on a scale of 1 to 10, where would you rate each?). I'm not trying to prove a point or anything. I just want to know everyone's opinions because it'll help me make my final prediction of the Mayweather-Mosley fight.

    Good question, but because we didn't get to see Mosley vs Berto, it's a question that may only be answered fight night. Not sure who's stronger, but I would guess at some point Shane will land a better shot than Oscar did.

      I would say that Mosley has more power, but he won't be landing any of those wide swinging bombs he landed on Margarito.

        This just about sums it up.

          It's pretty much impossible to answer, we can just speculate. I'll say DLH because less than an year before the Mayweather fight he destroyed Mayorga in 6 at 154, Mosley took out Mayorga at 154 last second, literally.

              Yeah it is pretty hard. And the Mayorga fight is hard to base your choice on because Mosley looked ridiculous for more than half of the fight. His reflexes and speed were a thing in the past in that fight. I can't believe that two of the judges had Mosley ahead before the KO. De La Hoya on the other hand looked like he was in his prime when he dismantled Mayorga.

                Who is more likely to land more significantly with their power should also be taken into account, also, ODLH was a one handed fighter.

                  Mosley for sure. Nobody in their right mind thought Oscar would KO PBF. It isn't out of the question for Mosley. Be it by decision or KO, his power will win it for him if he does win. He's outmatched in handspeed closely, and outclassed thoroughly in footwork.

                    De La Hoya is just the left hook, Mosley has more versatile power punching. De La Hoya boxed Floyd, Mosley will fight Floyd.
