    What are probably pysically the strongest HW´s ever and for what reasons? Some examples IMO:

    George Foreman, made bodybuilding exercises with very high weights...
    Primo Carnera, lifted also very much...
    Jose Manuel Urtain, was a powerlifter before he started boxing...

    LB for LB, Marciano. Peter looks like he'd be a good power lifter...

    He was a beast, agreed, but he wasn´t one of the strongest. Look at the Holyfield fights...

    Jack Johnson and Joe Louis were very strong men,Jack manhandled Jeffries in their fight and louis moved Carnera around with ease ,Ali was also a strong heavyweight,Joe Hess ,the Karate champion commented on his power.

    Lennox Lewis deceptively strong even for his size could easily push around some big heavies.

    Did Foreman ever lift heavy weights consistently?

    An often overlooked heavyweight of great strength was
    Jess Willard. Willard did plenty of manual labor in his youth
    and was a very strong guy.
