Who hits harder?

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.

 

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)

 

benn had a good defence he could bob real low and be cute and jab and move niehter of the above could do that.

 

Zelenoff

 

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.

 

Benn beat McClellan actually.

 

lets not open this can of worms again...suffice to say...benn outfought, out hit and out hearted mclellan that night.....tragic tragic outcome.....but for brutality and sheer edge of the seat excitement, my favourite fight ever...and yes. of teh guys mentioned, benn..mclelland....big gap.......pavlik...

 

McClellan, but Julian Jackson punched harder than any of them.

 

P4P out of the three Benn, no doubt about it

 

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.
