Physically strongest fighters

Mustapha Hamsho

JJ Walcott

Marciano, obviously.

That Italian-American Light-Heavy that got beat on points by Dick Tiger and who was also stabbed to death in an Alley...De-something he was called.

 

I'll say it again...

Winky Wright.

 

Frank DePaula.

Dude could punch...put Tiger down twice and Foster down once in the 1st too (though Foster got up and put DePaula down 3 times in the very 1st round and got the stoppage).

Peace.

 

Don't think Winky Wright has been mentioned so I'll go with him.

 

Ike Quartey

 

accurate and good post

 

Because no matter how many times I watch the fight, I can't see Tszyu quitting, I see Mohammed Ali's trainer stopping it instead, or so to speak,..

Reading is a virtue. :nono:

 

Then does Vargas deserve mention since he was able to push Ike back at times?

 

I guess Nando deserves mention then.

As well as Ray Mancini. Very physically strong at 135.

Carlos Monzon.

 

brian adams hasn't been mentioned?

 

Lennox Lewis

Arguably the physically strongest fighter in history

 

Measuring absolute power, I'd have to guess Valouev might top him. But Lewis had indeed huge strength in his upper body, don't know about his legs though

 

Although Holy was smaller, I thought the strength differential was more maked in Holy-Foreman than Holy-Lewis

 

I mentioned it (as well as Donny):flip:

 

How about Bernard Hopkins? No one mentioned him.

 

Sinan Samil Sam.

 

Frankie was actually gunned down in the alley.
Former police officer and referee Ron Lipton made the arrests of his killers, but they were released due to lack of evidence and the murder remains unsolved to this day.
Frankie was involved with the wrong "Goodfellas" and the wrong dame (a familiar story), he was gunned down after leaving her residence.

 

Based on what exactly?

 

I would take Norton or Foreman over Holmes in that regard. Holmes won the fight by building up a point lead by jabbing and keeping his distance from Norton, but most of the times when Norton was able to close the distance, he worked Holmes over. Even though Holmes got the decision...Norton seemed the stronger fighter that night. And as strong as Norton was, Foreman was even stronger.

 

Zoo was definately the stronger fighter.

 

I don't know if he was named but Juan Diaz is pretty strong despite his very average power.
