    Yes, Benn hit harder than the others mentioned.But, with no defense or any other skill to speak of, his time on top was rather short.

    A bit of a harsh statement! You could say the same for Pavlik, he comes accross as rather one dimensional also! But I know where your coming from, he wasnt exactly a all rounder, he certainly had the "Equaliser" though

    For a boxer who can only hit hard, as you put it, he didn't do too badly.

    Really interesting the question would be when you would add Julian Jackson or
    Arthur Abraham.

    Abraham cannot be mentioned with these names. Jackson is in this class. Pavlik is not. He has thudding like power. Kinda like Trindad. He isn't going to change your world with one punch like Jackson and McClellan and Benn (who would stop people while down on the cards with a single punch, no follow up needed)

    Gerald MClellan hit harderl. He bullied Nigel Benn around the ring and kicked his ass in that fight. Pavlik isn't in the same league as the other two in terms of power.

    Benn hits hardest of the ones mentioned -- yes, McClellan beat him, but that's because he had a lot more tools than just power.

    Jackson hit harder than any of the names on there.

    Is this a joke?

    McClellan was a ****ing MONSTER. His power is on another planet to Pavliks. Benn was a serious banger but even his power does not compare to McLellans.
