Who was the physically strongest heavy weight champ?

Lewis gets the nod off me. Holyfield said him self, lennox in a clinch was the strongest he'd ever come across. Foreman 2nd !

 

Definitely Foreman. No weight training, just naturally strong.
Lewis is nonsense, he build on the mass under Steward. Look how he looked pre-Steward.

 

He was a dominant force in pro wrestling for several years, in some ways Vince Mcmahon sr. screwed him up, was like Hogan before Hogan. Like to meet him someday, seems to be a down to earth guy.

 

It's hard to award that title to any one person without any concrete measurements. But its likely one of the more recent super heavyweights like Wladimir, Lewis, Vitali, Fury or Joshua. I can't see any of the guys who were below 220 being candidates.

 

Definitely not Fury. Maybe if he got in shape or lifted but the guy's basically a balloon. Hes 27 but has the body of a 45 year old man with 3 kids and a dog. Id be surprised if he was stronger than Norton.

 

My post got a "Haha lol"? Both HAHA and LOL, in the same sentence, together? I feel honored!
Rahman handled Lewis in that particular situation. Lewis got outmuscled. If the situation was reversed I'd be saying Lewis handled Rahman. It's just that he didn't.

I'm not the only one who thinks that way.

 

I dont care how many people think that way. Unless two fighters have an arm wrestling match, pushup/weight lifting competition etc, you cant base anything on an incident outside a pro ring.

This little scuffle has even less relevance than a sparring match or even an amateur fight. A brawl with no rules, no mouthpiece or gloves that is quickly broken up tells us nothing. Even if one fighter were to sucker punch and ko another at a press conference that has ZERO impact on how a fight between them would go.

 

And why not?

 

Strength comes in many different forms.

The best arm wrestler in my town is about 5'9" and185lbs.

 

To address the question Valuev has lifted incredible amounts of weight ,I'm no weightlifter but that would seem to put him in the frame. Foreman,Jeffries are others for consideration.I left out Carnera because of how easily Louis manhandled him,but in dead lifts he might be among the top few. It's an unaswerable question ,imo.

 

Fury is underrated in terms of strength.
Manhandled wlad easily, and david haye, who is 6'3 and pumped 220 looked like a child next to fury.

 

Marvin Hart had extremely well developed hams.

 

Marciano...Jeffries....Foreman...

 

So, just to clarify things, you think Marciano not only beats every single heavyweight but he is also the strongest?

O.K...........
