Kessler hits a lot harder than Pavlik, please stop saying otherwise.

[Silencers]

what are u talking about, Pavlik hits MUCH MUCH harder.

DId u count the amount of times he hit ANDRADE flush???? Like a zillion, and Andrade didnt move. Sure, Andrade has an amazing chin, but when u hit a guy flush like that they are going to get knocked out, and andrade i believe won the 12th round?

Andrade has one of the best chins in boxing though, I don't even think a sledgehammer would knock the man out.

Anyone who thinks Pavlik hits harder than Kessler has obviously only ever seen his fight against the granite chinned Calzaghe.

Kessler hits harder than Pavlik easily, its not even close.

Kessler IMO is top 5 P4P in punch power.

18 of his 29 stoppages have been by clean knockout. Thats not TKO's that is clean cut lights out, spark out KO's.

Pavlik has the same amount of stoppages (29) and has 7 clean cut KO's.

Kesslers punch power is phenomanal.

Pacquiao has 10 big KO's in 35 stoppages.

Wlad has 16 in 44 stoppages.

Ponce De Leon has 12 in 30 stoppages

Pantera is the best ive seen with 20 in 26 stoppages.

Kessler hits harder than Pavlik you can take that to the bank.

Kessler does not hit close as hard as Pavlik does.

I finally found something we agree on, Burner.

Kessler is a very skillful fighter, but he doesn't hit as hard as Kelly. I've seen Mikkel in several fights (Andrade, Mundine) where he lands plenty of very accurate power punches, but fails to KO or knock down his opponents. Some of those opponents would be KOed by Pavlik.

Pavlik will knock Mundine out if they ever fight, wait and see.

Andrade has one of the best chins in boxing though, I don't even think a sledgehammer would knock the man out.

Andrade was floored by Yusaf Mack.

Kessler is one of the most skillful boxers in the world, but his power is overrated.

I dont care if your chin is made out of iron, If you get tagged like Kessler was tagging andrade then you go down easily..Thats if you have any power. But Kessler couldnt even put him down. Andrade was taking full on shots to the head/temple but was still standing, Anybody with decent power would have KO andrade that night.

[Silencers]

I guess you guys are right.

[Kastrioti]

Kessler doesn't hit much harder than Pavlik and vice versa. Their power IMO is both very strong and it's hard to compare. Pavlik to some people may look like the stronger puncher because he throws a lot more flush shots then Kessler, but when you really compare their strongest punches, it's very close.

[Chase8400]

It is a pretty close argument, but I think that Pavlik's long straight punches are a little harder. Kessler is no slouch, but I gaurantee that Pavlik would have put Andrade away and will if they ever fight. Calzaghe took Kesslers best punch without going down and went down right away when he fought Hopkins, so it is a little hard to say.

[Dorian]

Andrade has a crazy chin

This is not even remotely close to true.

Pavlik CLEARLY hits a lot harder then Kessler, absoultely no doubt about it what so ever.

Kessler isnt even a power puncher lol. You could ask Kessler himself who hits harder, and he'd say Pavlik.

Kessler is a very very skilled fighter, very fluid and exciting the watch, and he has a pretty good punch, but he nothing close to a pure "power puncher" like Pavlik is.

You can credit all of those 17 clean KO's to fighting horrible competition in Denmark.

Pavlik was raised on tough mexicans and the like. Not saying Pavlik is better now, but he fought much more live competition on his way up
