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.

P4P out of the three Benn, no doubt about it

Is this a joke?

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

1. Gerald McClellan
2. Nigel Benn
3. Kelly Pavlik

All 3 are massive punchers, but McClellan and Benn are just a cut above.

Trinidad hits harder than Hopkins but Hopkins beat Trinidad.
G-man hits harder than Benn (Benn will even tell you).

And I think P4P, G-man and Jackson are on the same level.

spme funny posts in this thread.

benn not at the top long - he had 16 world title fights

mcclelled bullied benn around the ring

etc etc

as a middleweight benn was a monster puncher.

as a 168 fighter he was heavy handed and powerfull but not as powerfull as he was at 160

McClellan is my pick at 160
