    Saddler was a beast. Not six foot but a bean pole with amazing physical strength. There have been lots of great bean pole fighters who were very strong.

    Percy Cove
    Maurice Blocker
    Alexis Arguello
    Jeff Chandler had underrated physical strength

    As soon as I saw this thread, I thought of how Dwight wrestled Parker down during one of the mini Frazier's rushes. He gave the match away to Sibson in a walking tank job, but still, Tony wasn't able to move him. Davison's wrestling background made him miserable to deal with in the clinches.

    Hopkins was very strong at middle...and I know you didn't ask for anything above middle, but at super middle, Calzaghe looks to have very good core strength.
