    I'd say Froch as he executes his power through poor technique. Kessler has better speed and accuracy, so when he connects.....he will do damage. If Froch had Kessler's skillset with the power he carries, he would be far more deadlier.

    Neither men are punchers though in my opinion. Froch has an old-school approach and is more of a wear-you-down type boxer inflicting damage through the rounds through great stamina....although a low output.

    Kessler is better in just about every department then Froch except maybe chin.

      Didn't Hopkins drop DLH with a body punch in the 9th rd? KO loss I thought


      ******scratch that, you are talking about the fight b4 the bhop fight...nevermind***********

              I thought you were saying Froch can't lose to Dirrell...weren't you? So I made a connection with the DLH-Sturm match in 2004 MW tournament. Dig?

                Taylor said that Pavlik wasn't the hardest puncher he'd ever been in the ring with, giving that honor to Jeff Lacy. He said that Pavlik just threw a LOT of punches. He never said they were weak (obviously, since they KO'd him), but just that the amount was overwhelming.

                He said this before the Froch fight, though, so there is a chance he now thinks Froch punches harder than Lacy (or Pavlik).

                  I have no idea -- I haven't been punched in the face by either Kessler or Froch. I would imagine Kessler hits harder. I've read interviews with various people who say Kessler hits really ****ing hard, the kind of punches which break your bones.

                  Froch has good power but I think it's possibly overrated.

                      If that's the case, then Andrade is super man.
