Because the question is "strongest", not "P4P strongest". Can you imagine Joshua or Ike in a strongman contest against the guys that were mentioned in this thread?! They are bugs compared to them.
If he is stronger he is stronger. Its not P4P strenght. Otherwise there shold be strong midleweights and other lightweights there
Sonny Liston. When he trained, he glided around like a welterweight. Thats incredible for a man of his size. His conditioning was as good as it could possibly be
To look at Valuev I would say his personal best weight lifts are actually quite pathetic, the guy does not have great muscle mass, all his weight goes into his height, bones and organs. This content is protected Even a 50 year old Holyfield could probably out lift him.
What the **** you think this is El B? classic? , answer either the rock (Rahman) or SSV and move along.
