    Has to be Sonny Liston. Cleveland Williams deserves a note also.

    I Vote Old Foreman, cos he pulled jeaps, trucks And a boeing 747.

    other Great strongman picks are -

    PRIME Foreman - carried a cow And threw Frazier about like a ragdoll.

    Lenny Lewis - VitKlit said Lenny is teh strongest ever.

    Hasim Rahman - can lift 500lbs.

    Sonny Liston - Foreman complemented Sonnys' strength And said he was the only man who could push him.

    Lyle, Holyfield And Briggs - love weightlifting.

    Valuev - Over 320lbs And KO'd Baret with a shove!!

    Tua - A short stock BEAST with massive legs of SOLID muscle, does weights And tire throws.

    Swarmer,

    James Jeffries had big issues outmuscling supermiddleweights. No way he had the best functional strength.

    My votes go to Sonny Liston, George Foreman, Muhammad Ali, lennox lewis, Jack Johnson, and Rocky Marciano.

    Shaquille O'Neal... he did box de la Hoya.

    Reports of him in the weight room are legendary.

    And yet in the early rounds of the johnson fight even an inactive, faded version does a good job of muscling around. Who both of us have cited for strength.

    Hasim Rahman was a tank, strength was one of his greatest assets, he just didnt always use it to his best advantage.
