In your opinion, who is the strongest heavyweight boxer ever, and why?

Lennox Lewis is one of them.

 

Physical strength?
The brothers?
Lewis?
Old Foreman

 

Wlad would fight in a era were the average heavyweight was 230 pounds and still manhandle his opponents in the clinch. Also was a very clean liver in terms of how he took care of his body for his whole career unlike many others.

 

Carnera.

 

Eddie Hall and Hafþór Júlíus Björnsso had a boxing match, technically. If that match counts, then those two.

 

The strongest would be Valuev.

 

Shaq fought an exhibition against De La Hoya. I'd bet prime Shaq was stronger than prime Valuev.

By the way, the exhibition is almost worth watching. It was clear that Shaq actually went and got some coaching. He mainly jabbed. Which makes sense if you've got a 91in reach.

 

This is 3 inches longer than any notable HW in the history of boxing.

 

Considering there weight and inexperience that wasn't a bad fight at all.

 

Wlad was juiced off his nut too.

 

I am a believer most elites are.

 

We may never know. Boxing isn’t about how much you can bench. There are probably thousands that are stronger than the well known boxers but since they never panned out we are left with just the Brothers, Lewis, Foreman, etc

 

Tyson Fury

Only a man of the strongest of wills can up as many times as he has
