    I voted Pavlik, his KOs (even minus Taylor) have probably been over a higher standard of competition, albeit at a lower weight. Froch can whack a bit though.

    pavlik has stopped the better opponents but if you'd measure only one punch at 168, it's pretty obvious that froch is the harder puncher, for me at least...
    for those who voted for pavlik? would you say he punches harder than kessler as well?

    Almost certainly not much in it. Maybe Froch by virtue of being the slightly bigger man

    Someone was saying the other week that Froch had an "iron chin". The question I asked was, what proven puncher has he faced to get the "iron chin" tag???

    It's the same with his power, who has he knocked out that was in the top 10 SMW?

    Wide straight armed roundhouse slaps were common fare from Pascal against Froch.
