I know Shavers was great, but I think its ridiculous of your criteria for a power puncher.. I mean cmon man.. Goes to show power alone dosent win fights but dosent mean Mendoza cant punch nor does it mean Lacy has incredibly low punch resistance now because he got hit with bombs from Mendoza
JT i think you need to read my post again i never said Mendoza can't punch. I just thought Killersheep was seriously overrating Mendoza's punching power saying "he hits incredibly hard" when thats not the case.

The point i was making about Mendoza never stopping an opponent when he stepped up, except Rubin Williams. Because that shows he hasn't got world class punching power. And considering how weak the Middleweight/Super Middleweight division has been in recent years i think thats saying something.

Can he hit ? sure he can do damage but he certainly isn't nowhere near on the top punches in boxing today, i would find it hard to even have him in top 40 punchers in current day boxing.

Jeff Lacy was wobbling alot in that fight and he was hurt against Vitali Tsypko, who is no puncher. Thats why im worried about Jeff Lacy's punch resistance.
Tell you what you what man, make a list of 5 super middleweights that have the one punch KO power of Mendoza and I'll concede the point to you. One punch KO power mind you, not accumulative like Kessler or Andrade
Mendoza hasn't got 1 punch KO power i don't why you believe that. But i think Mikkel Kessler, Carl Froch, Edison Miranda, Alejandro Berrio, Librado Andrade, Lucian Bute, Fulgencio Zuniga, all have strong cases for being bigger punchers than Mendoza. And heres a 40 fighters who i consider harder punchers than Mendoza.

Kelly Pavlik
Juan Manuel Marquez
Manny Pacquiao
Roman Gonzalez
David Haye
Wladimir Klitschko
Samuel Peter
Mikke Kessler
Kelly Pavlik
Antonio Tarver
Arthur Abraham
Andre Berto
Miguel Cotto
Paul Williams
Ricardo Torres
Edwin Valero
Juan Manuel Lopez
Rafael Marquez
Carl Froch
Daniel Ponce De Leon
Edison Miranda
Jhonny Gonzalez
Vic Darchinyan
Enzo Maccarinelli
Ulises Solis
Librado Andrade
Breidis Prescott
Hugo Fidel Cazares
Kermit Cintron
Joel Casamayor
Shane Mosley
Vitali Klitschko
Alexander Povetkin
O'Neil Bell
Herbie Hide
Lucian Bute
Fulgencio Zuniga
Joel Julio
Yuriokris Gamboa
James Kirkland
Victor Ortiz

Theres about 40 fighters who all hit harder than Mendoza, few only about 6 fighters on that list you could argue against.
