Who is the hardest puncher in the Super Middleweight (168) tournament?

Abraham 24 KOs in 30 fights Taylor 17 KOs in 28 fights Froch 20 KOs in 25 fights Dirrell 13 KOs in 18 fights Ward 13 KOs in 20 fights Kessler 32 KOs in 42 fights 1) kessler 2) froch 3) AA

I chose Abraham, but I wasnt thinking about how well his power will transfer. He delivers excellent punches, but often only one at a time. Kessler delivers punches in the most effective way, while Froch has raw power.

Froch power what??? serach in youtube "Darren Purse OWNS Carl Froch AGAIN! (Soccer AM)"

I think Froch is the hardest hitter at 168. I would say Abraham but his power hasn't really been proven at 168 yet.

Froch has the most raw/1 punch power. Kessler's power comes from accumilation of punches. Abraham must have a fair bit but i didn't vote for him because we haven't seen much of him at 168. Here's a one-punch accumulation(!) from Kessler (0.50):

AA by a mile...he needs only 1 punch like Benn and Jackson. Most guys who fought him had a lot of respect after they got hit by his bombs...

Would expect Froch take a couple of solid one's if they meet. Copenhagen early 2010:boxing:

Kessler has a solid uppercut, watched Calzaghe take two flush in space of 40 seconds, it will certainly test anyone's chin in the Super 6. Would expect Froch take a couple of solid one's if they meet.

Abraham crushed Miranda at SMW, but I don't how his punch is there against the elite of the divsion. I think it's between Froch and Kessler, with Abraham the wild card. If pressed, I'd go with Froch. They all have a pretty good punch. i voted Kessler but AA is a dark horse.

AA seems like the obvious answer, but he is coming up to face bigger guys. I went with Kess.

In order: Abraham, Froch, Kessler, Taylor, Ward, and Dirrell. The first three are clear cut to me, but the last three were hard to place.

Voted Kessler. Kessler stats that he is able to hit as hard as ever, since his (third!) hand surgery and some new "gel-glove?" for sparring. Early in his carrer he had a lot of problems with his right hand, and it almost put an end to it. It didn't look like he was holding anything back in his last two, so I hope/think the problem is gone for good.

Froch...........................

How can AA be p4p the hardest hitter but not be the hardest hitter at 168 when its only one class up Cuz even is just 1 division I am not sure if he can carry his power. Is like I for example Tito to me had 1 punch KO power at 154 but not at 160. Floyd IMO had 1 punch KO power at 130 but not at 135. Tito and floyd still hit hard but not as hard. And, I think is the same with AA. If you ask me who P4P hits harder AA at 160 or Froch at 168? I pick AA. But, who hits harder at 168. I would give the edge to Froch until AA proves me other wise and he will have his chance.

I think AA P4P is the hardest hitter but at 168 I say Froch. AA #2, Taylor #3, Kessler #4, and I don't know who hits harder between Ward and Dirrell. How can AA be p4p the hardest hitter but not be the hardest hitter at 168 when its only one class up

dirrell and ward punch like welterweights

I agree with that, but I feel that is true for Kessler, Froch, and Taylor. They are accumulation punchers. While it's possible, they most likely aren't going to render their opponent unconscience with a single punch, ala Julian Jackson or Tommy Hearns; they were real punchers. I'm hyped for this tournament a lot though. My two favorites, Taylor and Kessler, are involved. true that. I guess there is no one punch KO artist in this tournament but should be good fights regardless. Cheering for Froch/Taylor here

I don't know. I can't say that I've seen all of Kesslers fights but he just doesn't seem to pack that much power.He seems to put together good solid combinations but his KO's seem more from breaking down the opponent then having powerful hands. Very excited for this tournament I agree with that, but I feel that is true for Kessler, Froch, and Taylor. They are accumulation punchers.
