Jack Johnson Rocky Marciano Joe Louis Joe Frazier Holyfield (Douglas) When push comes to shove, who would be the boss in the ring?
Holyfield...he bullied Mike Tyson around the ring and held his own in the clinches with Lennox Lewis ... neither of which is an easy feat
Yeah, Johnson and Holyfield. Joe Louis is quite underrated in that aspect too. If I had to choose, probably Johnson but Holyfield was really strong for a relatively smaller man.
Johnson appeared stronger in the ring than Holyfield (Douglas). I would give Holyfield (Evan Fields) the nod over everyone on that list though.
Johnson. The way he manhandled Jeffries was astonishing. Jack spent his youth baling cotton which built his grapefruit shoulders. His ability to muffle the inside game of the punchers he faced required excellent physical strength.
