    On Froch, Kessler did also compliment his chin.


    Shut up Bat

      i would rate bute above kessler as a puncher, at least he KO'd andrade who has world class durability if nothing else. kessler hit him with the kitchen sink and couldnt get rid of him.

      thats just in this era, never mind guys like jones, toney, benn or mcclellan who im well aware didnt stay long at the weight especially jones and mcclellan. but if we are simply speaking of the hardest hitters to set foot in the division they are clearly all more qualified for such honors, i dont see how kessler is even part of that discussion tbh. i guess its because im not danish.
      Why? Lucian Bute should have been knocked out by a worse version of Andrade than the one Kessler fought. Kessler beat him the hell out of him when he was undefeated. I was there live, it was almost tragic how much punishment that guy could take.

      Afterwards, Kessler got the microphone and called out Calzaghe. It was brilliant stuff.

      Jones or Toney? Not as big punchers as Kessler at SMW in my opinion. You can only look at what they've done in that particular weightclass and I'd say Kessler was a bigger puncher than those guys you mentioned. Maybe not McClellan, but I explained above.

      He knocked out a lot of champions like Siaca, Sartison, Beyer, Green, Magee etc.

      He also has one of the absolute best jabs and 1-2s in the divisions history.

        Kessler at his best. Watch the piercing ramrod jab and nice combo for the KO. He was knocked spark out.

        Kessler has put more people to sleep than any other super middleweight.

            Kessler is a 1 punch KO artist now?

                It is a good combo and not taking anything away from Kessler,great fighter but that guy he's fighting looks like a blown up 147lber... even if his entire career was at super welter he's not right for the division

                  He really....really isn't.

                  He's a very solid puncher. That's it. Nigel Benn was a KO artist. Gerald McClellan was a KO artist.

                  Mikkel Kessler is a boxer-puncher with solid power.

                    How can he not be a one punch ko artist when he puts people out with one punch? Him and Benn have the exact same KO% - but Kessler has more 1 punch power than Benn.

                      Oh the guy he fought there wasn't very good.

                      But it still shows how great Kessler's jab and 1-2 was.

                      And also how strong his straight left was.
