    Yey I heard somewhere that Norris use to bench 320 at 154 almost twice his weight. Also ive heard 2 diffrent sources say that Mosley benches 320 or 365. Louis Monaco claims to be the strongest boxer in the world but,Rahman might have something to say about that ive heard he benches well over 500LBs.

    Also heard that Hatton can bench twice his weight (when in shape) LOL which would be at least 280. Id bet that Urango and Victor Ortiz do some lifting they look very strong.

    Louis Monaco was absolutely ripped to ****, looked like a bodybuilder to say the least.

    Golota was a beast in the weight room.

    That guy doesnt look like Monaco at all infact this guy looks white:huh Although Monaco does has corn rolls and a similar built

    Anyways Monaco was a body builder before becoming a boxer.

    I dont know of Foreman ever being a consistant weight lifter but id bet he would lift some amazing weights if he ever lifted serious.

    Id say hes physically the strongest,of all the Heavyweight greats.

    My guess would be in the 700 to 800 range.

    Id bet Pac could squat a lot.

    Thats not Louis Monaco. :D Hes black. Hes the "black" guy that starched a comebacking Buster Douglas in one round, even though it was determined it was after the bell.

    Mosley could put up 315 as a welterweight

    Yes sir, That is Tye Fields, i know his manager , Billy Baxter a one time worlds series of poker winner. I used to talk to Tye when he was a sparring partner in Toccos back then. Louis Monaco strangely enough was around the same gym at the time and trained with Cliff Couser, Defiagbon and Duncan Dokiwari.. speaking of which hardly ever did any lifting in the recent stages of his career, but back in Nigeria was strong up and coming Powerlifter..........

    Jesus Christ, I know that isn't Monaco.

    Beyond the... you know, skin color there's a foot difference in height between the two. :-(
