    I've only seen Abraham vs Dirrell a couple times. Its not a very exciting fight watching Dirrell beat on Abrahams body and gloves for 9 rounds. Although I do love the highlight pyschodelic put together with Guru as the background music.

    second hardest puncher? That has yet to be verified. Abraham, Kessler and Dirrell have all hurt their opponents. Ward may have hurt Kessler in their fight. I think Ward was hurt by an Allan Green body shot in their fight.

    Froch is basically the only one who hasnt rocked one of his opponents.

    Yup, that flying headbutt punch definitely grabs the attention.

    That's cos he's slow as **** and can't catch them properly. :good
    And Dirrell ran like a ***** so he couldn't land on him properly, Kessler has an iron chin anyway.

    He caught Dirrell solid twice in their fight. And I really didnt see much of a reaction from Dirrell.

    He has enough power to gain his opponents respect, but not enough to knock elite fighters out.

    He'll beat Abraham on points, in my opinion.

    Wow, this might be the first time you've ever credited Froch with landing a punch on Dirrell....

    If anything is overated its Dirrell lol, failed to ebat the "zombie slow caveman" Froch, looked like he could have been KO in last couple of rounds to AA and NOW is trying his best to flee the Ward fight. The makings of an ATG or what.

    Carl is very heavy handed it must be like being hit with a hammer when he unloads. But he doesnt have much speed. So his chances of hitting the home runner are a bit smaller than they would be otherwise. Is sam peter a soft hitter? no but hes raw as sin at the top level hece the drop in KO's

    The OP has led a hate campaign against Carl for as long as I can remember. Yes his power is somewhat overrated but not to the extent you are implying. For a start, how many times has Kessler been knocked down in his career huh? And I'm not being funny but Taylor was an elite level fighter so knocking him out should be given credit accordingly. Not to mention that Froch stunned Pascal a few times in there fight (which many people seem to completely overlook).

    He's a **** boxer who's made the most of his other formidable attributes to be an established and elite level 168'er. You go on like he's a bum who doesn't deserve the kind of credit that comes with those sort of achievements.
