@AdamSButler65 @Carl_Froch @MikkelKessler shows what a great chin Carl***39;s got! Both ridiculously hard hitters though!

It's true: Froch has a hell of a chin...

[BattlingNelson]

I think he's the hardest hitter in division history.

On Froch, Kessler did also compliment his chin.

It's hard to think of other SMW guys who have the same one-punch knockout power as Kessler has. Especially when he was in his prime.

The Beyer KO was indeed brutal.

The post prime KTFO of Allan Green was a left hook from hell.

Nigel Benn? or Indeed McClellan, although he only fought one tragic fight at 168.

I honestly don't think Benn was as hard a hitter as Kessler. He wasn't the same kind of 1 punch KO artist.

Mclellan is obviously a moot point. I mean, the guy had 1 fight and 1 loss, however tragic it was. So he could have quite possibly have been the most devastating super middleweight ever, but it didn't pan out that way.

really? what world class fighter he has knocked out to earn him that distinction? allan green? marcus beyer? brian magee? please..

i would rate bute above kessler as a puncher, at least he KO'd andrade who has world class durability if nothing else. kessler hit him with the kitchen sink and couldnt get rid of him.

thats just in this era, never mind guys like jones, toney, benn or mcclellan who im well aware didnt stay long at the weight especially jones and mcclellan. but if we are simply speaking of the hardest hitters to set foot in the division they are clearly all more qualified for such honors, i dont see how kessler is even part of that discussion tbh. i guess its because im not danish.
