You are all wrong. The most powerful prince is Sheogorath. A multitude of reasons for this exist. One of these reasons of course, is that he is Jyggalag, the Daedric Prince of Order, who was so powerful that all of the Daedra banded together to stop him, cursing him to become the opposite of what he stood for, madness and chaos. But nowhere does it state that he lost the immense powers, but rather was driven insane and unable to use them to their fullest. When he emerges during the Greymarch he is turned back into his original form, giving himself immense power and destructive powers. If he escaped his Plane of Oblivion and entered Nirn, he would not fail, he would succeed as he can already predetermine how he would lose if he did and thus prevent it from happening.

Secondly, Sheogorath is completely unpredictable. Being the Daedric Prince of Madness, Sheogorath follows no plan, rather whatever he feels like doing. This makes him possibly the most dangerous of the Daedric Princes. Unlike Mehrunes Dagon's invasion, which involved him sending his army in waves through the Oblivion Gates for certain battles and events, letting a portion of the army and beasts roam around the land. Sheogorath would not do this however as it goes against his nature of chaos. If he decided to invade for a reason, he would place his minions in random patterns unable to be predicted. The Daedric Siege Crawler for instance, would be placed unexpectedly, with a large horde of seemingly powerful minions which would disguise the true purpose of his mad plan.

Finally, Sheogorath is the most powerful due to him being the a Hero of Kvatch. This fact in itself should be enough to convince most people that Sheogorath is the most powerful. The Hero was able to stop the Oblivion Crisis, the Auroran Crisis and the Greymarch itself, meaning he was able to foil Jyggalag's plans and defeat him, something only all the Daedra together could achieve. This means as a normal human he was already as powerful as all the Daedra put together. Factor in that he became a Daedra gaining their limitless power, he would have become virtually invincible. This is also shown in his weapon, the Wabbajack, which can transform anyone into anything randomly, which is already insanely powerful in itself, as it changes the atoms in a persons' body on a molecular level, altering the appearance and abilities of them.

In conclusion, none of the other Daedric princes can compare to the power of Sheogorath, who is extremely powerful as Jyggalag, unpredictable and cunning as Sheogorath and near invincible as the Hero of Kvatch. Hermaeus Mora, Mehrunes Dagon, Merida, to name a few Princes, none of these can begin to compare with the sheer power of Sheogorath, whose insane mind, power and cunning would be able to destroy the other Daedra and Nirn if he wished.
