How do you measure maximum strength of a boxer ?

Seamus has a secret machine.

I think that this is fairly likely.

One thing you cant criticicise todays fighters for, is their size, strength and power.

Jeffries would stand out still, but it would be because of his stamina and speed for a big man. I dont think his strength would be anything out of the ordinary. At best he would be in the George Foreman bracket, but more than likely he would be not any stronger than say a Shannon Briggs or Andrew Golotta, or most of the Superheavys.

But among the heavyweights of today he would not be a big man would he?
In fact ,he would be considered a smallish heavyweight would he not?

That's the dicey question. It needs to be much more qualified than merely "the strongest"... Were Jeffries to last 14 rounds with one of the elite legit superheavies of the past two decades, then I guarantee with his training that he would be the strongest in the 15th. But I also doubt he could put up numbers in the weight room that a Shannon Briggs or other such modern could...

Briggs should have stayed in the weight room.
