    Wasn't Iran Barkley about 6'1" (about the same height as Hearns)? I'd give him a vote.

    How tall is Arthur Abraham?

    The taller you are at a weight class, the more physical strength you sacrifice. Plus how many 6'0+ MWs were there? Not that many. Pavlik, Hopkins, GMAN, Taylor I suppose are reasonably strong considering there heights.

    This is not a fact ... nor is it the truth ... Lewis is 6'5" and he may have been the strongest heavyweight that ever lived ...

    Heavyweight's a different ball game entirely.

    I don't think Lennox is in the top 10 strongest heavyweights of all time, let alone the strongest that ever lived.
