    Andre Ward is strong as ****, just a shame his punches don't pack that much power :/

    Strong, but without a 'big punch'

    * Jorge Ahumada (1960' and 1970's.... Light-Heavyweight)
    * George Johnson (1960's.... Heavyweight)
    * Arturo Leon (Late-1970's.... Super-Featherweight)

    No one has yet properly given credit to Jim Jeffries for his strength. It simply can not be over-estimated or exaggerated.

    Lennox Lewis was never given credit for his strength until late in his career. But if you watched his career as it progressed and unfolded, he always outmuscled opponents whenever he wanted to & was clever at it.

    I agree. Holmes was incredibly strong but didn't always get credited with that.
