Who was the physically strongest lightheavyweight champion?

I thought of him as well. Don't hear his name mentioned very often.

 

I think Britain's Freddie Mills deserves a mention here, he was a cautionless bull and probably took more punishment than most any champion in history. He was the Jake La Motta of the L-HW division...

but unlike Jake though, Mills had a career of fighting bigmen and held his own against most of them

Baski (he was well beaten by)
Woodcock X 2
Johnny Ralph
Stefan Olek
Ken Shaw X2


thats 7 fights agaist Top Ranked and well noted world classed Heavyweights, plus a few other HWs too. Not bad going for a man who was very definately a L-HW.

Mills was Bull Strong, couragous and determined. I think he falls into this here categories mix!

 

id go for archie moore who had huge shoulders from walking on his hands

 

I know it's the classic forum but if you go by looks alone it's probably someone from this era since more boxer do weight lifting. Jean Pascal?

 

Moore was strong but much more reliant on Skill, Ringcraft & Guile, a great, great fighter, but nowhere near the strongest L-HW in the sense of this thread.

 

Dont know man, Ive read about im walkin te block on is ands and oter suc impressive feats. e was pretty massive for a lit eavyweit.

Berlenbac was a reat mention.
