Is Vitali Klitschko physically the strongest heavyweight champion in history

No .......simply no.

 

John Ruiz

 

My wife said 'twas I had the weakest bone. Ex-wife. She never was smart enough to follow boxing.

 

But he was a lineal champ

 

You can argue for that, but majority of the public won't agree. He definitely wasn't universally recognized.

 

You mean champion or contender? If we're talking about everyone who has had a pro fight at HW the answer is of course Thor or Eddie Hall.

Among top HWs, Vitaly isn't a bad pick, though. Clearly very strong.

 

Vitali was obviously weaker than an unfit Lennox. He had far better stamina though

Realistically the strongest HW probably didn't make it. There were probably unskilled unathletic strong men who were way stronger than Foreman and Lennox

 

Show me some photos/videos of Vitali hoisting a ****ing cow over his shoulders or pulling a pickup truck around his backyard by a rope like George Foreman did and then let’s talk.

 

A wise man told me he was, so I'll believe him.

 

Manhandle Sonny Liston? that's a good one.

 

No not even close.

The strongest heavyweight in boxing history, is some strongman who transitioned into boxing, who never got near a world title.

It's basically between Hall and Bjornson.

 

Just because he did that sh** doesn't mean he is the strongest. You don't think Vitali could do that?

 

Willard ragdolls this manlet

 

Foreman and Liston are for sure in tue conversation. Another guy that was strong as hell but under the radar was Rahman. Lots of stories out there about his strength.

 

No, I don’t.

Those are tangible proof of physical strength.

What tangible proof of Vitale’s strength can you provide?
