    I personally saw Lennox Lewis bench press 140kg for a comfortable 10 reps in '99.

    Shane Mosley was rumored that he bench pressed around 340 pounds.

    Dont know if its true or not, it doesnt mean **** anyway cause Boxing is not about who lifts more weight.

    That is extraordinary if this is true .

    No 135 pound man should benching anywhere near that .

    I don't think Mosley weighed 135 when he pressed that weight, he just was fighting at 135 then.

    liston did not lift weights and he didn't use peds like modern boxers.
    he was simply natural very strong and big,imo the strongest of all good hw champs.klits,lewis,bowe all are big and strong,but all had access to modern weight lifting and peds.if liston fought today he would be a freak!!:smoke
    huge shoulder width,very strong long arms,huge wrists and hands...

    He's a really nice kid too, too bad he's been held back by boxings (Germany's corrupt promotors).

    His biggest purse was £2500 and he was a big punching middleweight, it's a damn shame.
