    Im not talking P4P here, but straight up. I would assume its Kessler because I know he can bang. However, I just havent seen too many of his fights. The two fighters are only one weight class away and I know Pavlik has talked of moving up to fight there in the future.

    Pavlik definently has an eraser, but is it greater than Kessler“s?

    I think Kessler is a very hard puncher, definitely more accurate and definitely faster, but one punch? I think I'd give the nod to Kelly Pavlik.

    for there respective weightclasses pavlik is definatley the bigger puncher.

    pavik scores lots of knockdowns where`as kessler is an accumalation puncher.

    Kessler is a good puncher but Pavlik has very heavy hands his hands are like sledge hammers. I would give Pavlik the edge.

    Yeah, Pavlik's hands must be EXTREMELY heavy. 14 inch fists I believe...

    Damm, I guess my assumption about Kessler having more power was not true. Just makes me like Pavlik more.

    Still, if Kessler has more accuracy and speed (which is impressive in the few fights I have seen), he will still give Pavlik a hard time.

    Just straight up? About even. Pavlik wears guys down by accumulation also.
