    Mickey Walker has to be in with a shout for this one as well as Tony Zale.

    Chris Eubank was an amazingly strong fighter.

    From the past: Dick Tiger (a beast for all-time)

    From the present: Manny Pacquiao (looked strong as a bull at light-welter only a year or so after being a super-feather)

    Really strong guy.

    I'd probably go with Armstrong.

    Armstrong. Look at the way he bulled middleweights around the ring. Amazing. Duran was a bull, too.

    Foreman was extremely powerful.

    First thoughts:
    Tiger, Briscoe, Monzon, even Valdez though less so than the others (what an era for iron-cast MWs!)

    Armstrong was a beast for his size, Foreman was a monster too....Currently Kirkland and Urango are some beastly fighters.

    Yeah, he is one strong guy, even to this day. If I remember right, when he fought Frazier, at one point Frazier tried to push him back, and Chuvalo just stood there, Joe wasn't able to budge him.
