Is Hopkins physically stronger than Kessler?

[Easy-E]

I think at this point Hopkins is physically stronger than Kessler. He is fighting at 175, and moved up and bullied Antionio Tarver badly.
He is bigger than Joe and has more brute stregnth.

Kessler is stronger than Hopkins, no doubt.

I don't see how this Kessler fella is particularly strong.

Hopkins is certainly very strong at light-heavy.

I'd say he's stronger than Kessler, certainly.
