Well it depends on what you mean by hard hitter. Oscar has never been or will never be a devestating puncher at 147 or above. His big KOs came in the lower weight classes.

He is a very good puncher, but he has never had the ability to seriously hurt a guy with one punch at this weight class. His punching skills revolve around his left hook to the body, which is the type of punch that wears the opponent down over the course of a fight. I always feel like this type of punch isn't that effective against a defensive whiz like Mayweather, because you have to land it a lot for the accumulation to build up, and Mayweather isn't going to let you land the same punch over and over again.
I agree that Mayweather isn't going to stand there & allow him to land the same shots...but Oscar's power is a lot like Floyd's it's accuracey & accumulation.

I stick by my opinion on Oscar's power...it's there & he's dropped many men of late to put the proof in the pudding. Of recent date Oscar has stopped Vargas, Campas, & Gatti. I'm not or never have stated that Oscar or Floyd were devastating punchers...but they have power in their own rights.

Honestly...I think that Floyd has underratted power. You (not meaning you...broad finger pointing) sit back & watch his matches against Mitchell, Augustus, Corrales, Juuko, Gatti, & even Judah...when he comes on & starts landing combos you can actually see him breaking down his opponent...it shows on their faces.

He just chips away & once he's got em soft...he starts bombing away & that's all she wrote.

Not sure that he can accomplish such against someone like Oscar...but I would shit my pants if he did.
