    Who were the best fighters in terms of sheer physical strength?

    I'd say Tiger at middle...and also Walker...The Bulldog must have been crazy strong...

    Greb apparently handled Walker though?

    As to Tiger....yeah, that's what I came in here to say.

    Ali looked stronger than Foreman to me.

    That's very true Mc...but would it be fair to say Walker matured more when he went up to middle the second time for Flowers? No doubt his performances against Sharkey and Schmeling and such make you shake your head in wonder...It does me...
    I think I might add Fitz as well from middleweight...That guy must have been really physicality imposing strength wise.

    Yeah, that might have happened. But if I had to say, I'd say Greb was just stronger than Walker.

    Might be misremembering but wasn't Ricky Hatton shown lifting really heavy weights in the lead up to the Mayweather fight?
