Valero. His last fight convinces me. Honmo was never floored prior to facing Valero. Honmo had wins over hard hitters such as Keita Manabe (22 KOs in 26 wins) and Koji Arisawa (24 KO's in 34 wins).
Valero also took out Michael Lozada in just about a minute in the very first round (2 consecutive KD's leading to the stoppage). Lozada was stopped only once previously; by Jose Armando Santa Cruz. It took Santa Cruz three rounds more.
And, remember how Valero knocked Mosquera down twice in the first round before the ref stopped the contest in the 10th? Mosquera has been dropped only once before--by the Thai former champ, Yodsanan (Mosquera also dropped Yodsanan three times to win the contest).
Valero does not bring much else to his fights other than his big punch.
