    Stronger than the average 150 pound man for sure, I'd say 150 pound wrestlers/MMA guys are physically stronger.

    For a welterweight, he's very strong physically. Much stronger than he was when he fought guys like Baldomir, Judah, and Hatton. He doesn't match the stronger welterweights in history, but in today's game, I struggle to think of a welterweight with more functional strength inside the ring.

    He is severely underrated in that department.

    He can barely bench 200lbs. As strong as I was when I was 14.

    It's not down to how much he weighs or whatever, for his size he knows how to work in the clinch and stand his ground exceptionally well.

    Mayweather is very strong no doubt about it! Same kind of strength that Ward possesses: it doesn't look like much from the outside but it's a different story once u share the same ring. That's what their opponents usually say about them and I tend to believe them ;-)

    It's not what he's got, it's how he uses it.

    My boy slugger knows about that too

    His strength applied to his craft is very solid. Weightlifting wise, a lot of people are much stronger than him.

    :deal so true, they always stand their ground on the inside and can muscle around bigger opponents. i believe it was Froch and Mosley who said they were surprised how strong Ward and Floyd was after they fought them.

    Even after years of PED use he is average by boxing standards and weak by wrestling standards. A joke of the highest order by Olympic weightlifting standards.

    in short; Your hero is not very strong, regardless of how big the "S" on his chest during your wet dreams.
