    Beterbiev for sure.

    I can't imagine even super HW do this kind of stuff.

    rotating 22 kg bar like that ?

    Beterbiev from a p4p standpoint.

    I'm thinking Zhang is probably the physically strongest HW (which would mean the strongest period).

    I seem to remember Fury struggling to bench 130kg, in terms of relative strength he's very average.

    We're not talking about gym strength though, are we? I know he has always grappled even with his family and I can remember him saying between rounds when fighting Wlad, and with sone surprise 'He's not strong, he's not strong'. I've always felt Fury has 'man' strength, and big man strength at that.

    That video means nothing. They are playing, that's all. I (or you) could be doing the same with that domestic bear. Just publicity.

    Let's have it right theres no way he's physically stronger than that bear. If the bear felt like it he'd just pin Makhmudov to the floor and chew half his head off. Why doesn't it though? Probably afraid of more torture at human hands that keeps it submissive.

    Actual strength?

    Im guessing no one is stronger than Jarrell Miller.

    Im sure Dubois can put up some big weight too

    >he beat the strongest, he is the strongest

    I forgot punching someone who benches/deadlifts/squats and is physically stronger, lets you move more than them in the gym.

    >bivol

    Bodybuilder to be strong should have a strong chin and a strong mind too. Things he doesnt have. You are out of the rails.
