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.
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.

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.

But it still shows how great Kessler's jab and 1-2 was.
And also how strong his straight left was.
