Oscar De La Hoya was on "The View" Wednesday afternoon, and taught the ladies how to pack a punch like a bonafide ring master.

Rosie O'Donnell and Nicole Wallace geared up in boxing gloves and robes to show their stuff.

De La Hoya was on stand-by to give the ladies a few tips, if need be, and show them how to really sock it to the punching bag.

When De La Hoya gave the punching bag a whirl, it measured his force to be more than 600. Between O'Donnell and Wallace, Rosie packed a much bigger punch than Wallace's puny 20, and Whoopi Goldberg awarded her a golden belt.

Oscar De La Hoya is a retired professional boxer who was once known as "The Golden Boy", though he clearly hasn't lost his golden glove.

He won a gold medal at the Barcelona Olympic Games merely years after he graduated from high school, and now he's teaching Rosie O'Donnell how to throw a punch with enough force to knock someone out.

Last month, De La Hoya was blasted by Floyd Mayweather Jr. as a Showtime traitor. Ben Thompson at Fight Hype reported Mayweather as saying: "Oscar De La Hoya has always been disloyal; very disloyal.

He was very disloyal to Richard Schaefer. Richard Schaefer built that company from the ground up. I don't have anything against Eric Gomez at all, but De La Hoya is a piece of shit. Oscar is a snake!"
