How good is this Antonio Mesquita WW?

[ELPacman]

He's 34-0 with 27 KOs. Anyone know much about him? I've never seen him fight yet he's in a very hot division.

[Fox McCloud]

All I know if he knocked out Santos Pakau in one round... and Pakau showed an iron chin against Paul Williams on the Mayweather/Baldomir undercard.

Hmmm, I wonder why he hasn't got much coverage on tv.

[We've Got Bush]

He just had his first fight in a year. I know at one time he was going to fight Julio Cesar Garcia.

Can you have an iron chin against a feather fisted fighter? Paul beats you by punches just adding up because of his amazing output, but i see no power in him, most of his fights are stopped not pure knockouts. Antonio is pretty much a Ricardo Mayorga style fighter but more than a few notches down. He was fighting a lot in Utah against absolute bums. A lot of his wins have came against guys with no professional wins. In his best scenario i can maybe see him doing what Mayorga did to Forrest, against someone like Williams (Im not sold on Williams at all) cuz the power is there, but im sure his first step up he will be handled.

I don't know, but Williams landed some damn hard-looking uppercuts on Pakau that just didn't seem to phase him.
