Mikkel Kessler - The Physically Strongest Super Middleweight?

[VatoMulatto]

What surprised me about Froch in the Kessler fight is that he moved backwards prettty much the entire fight. Kessler came after Froch all night long and Froch moved backwards because he was forced to, and not because he chose to. Froch is very strong and a badass, but he knew going after Kessler and try to stay on him would've been suicide. That says a lot about how physically strong Kessler is. Kessler is huge, and could easily move up to lightheavyweight. I would love to see Kessler vs Abraham. He'd force Abraham to start running and knock him out the F-uck out.

Is Kessler the physically strongest fighter at 168?

I think AA is.Whenever he lands a punch,(which is rarely),fighters get the hell outa dodge real quick.Plus his core just seems really strong.I bet he could be a body builder.

I'm not talking about punching power. I find it very hard to believe that AA would be physically stronger than Kessler....he's a beast.

I think Kessler would bench more than Abraham.

People erroneously believe that Froch is a come forward brawler

ward bully kessler all around the ring though.and AA core is not strong he hates body shots more than anything

Abraham is stronger. Punching power comes from legs, core and technique/speed.
Abraham has raw punching power, not from speed, but his body, which is solid.

Abraham has a thick torso, and his arms are thick.

He's not built for 168, or even a boxer really. More of an MMA fighter build, whom I believe are stronger than boxers, simply because they do more lifting of humans and weights.

I would also say I am sure there are huge, strong middle weights who box, but are shiet and are not known.

The world's strongest man, Puganisky is in MMa rigut now and he punches with such bad technique that he doesn't seem to hurt his opponents that much, when I would say a top boxer with 4 ounce gloves would.

Taking pain And strength are two different things.

Ward hugged and headbutted more. I wouldn't say Hopkin's is stronger than Pascal, but he hugged and made Pascal his beatch.
