Who is the physically strongest boxer you have ever seen?

Sonny Liston looked like a verry strong man and Ernie Shavers.

 

Abraham is the wrong guy to look at if you're looking for physically strong fighters. Watch AA/Miranda I, and Pavlik/Miranda back to back. Arthur struggled with Miranda's physical strength. Pavlik tossed Miranda around with relative ease. Arthur is built like a little bull, but physique means ****-all. He is not exceptionally strong.

 

Hell yes! I picked Evander to beat Tyson, but the one part of the fight that really surprised me was that Holy was very clearly the stronger man.

 

british level rendall mounre, world level carl froch and aa !

 

Sonny Liston.

 

Oh shut up - calzaghe was a ***** and a weakiling

 

Foreman, Tyson, Hagler, Chavez, Golota, Tua, Hopkins, Toney at MW, Lewis, Dempsy, Marciano, Liston, Pryor...

 

Rahman was like a superhuman when it came to strength. Watch the clip where him and lewis wrestle on camera after they have an argument on a TV show before their fight and he owns lewis. Wrestling in my opinion is a true test of strength...

 

Fenech started at bantamweight and ended up manhandling one of the strongest 126/130 fighters I have ever seen in Azumah Nelson...Dude was proper strong.

 

I'd be fascinated to see prime versions of Foreman, Briggs and Valuev fight eachother- just to see who pushes the other one back in a clinch.

As an aside, I'd love to have seen Briggs-Valuev about 5 years ago. Valuev was best against big guys who weren't very mobile (see Valuev-Liakhovich), but if anyone had a shot at knocking Valuev out Briggs could have done it. It would probably have been one of those really boring fights, but still very interesting at the same time

 

foreman and it is not even debatable

 

Salvador Sanchez

 

i cant believe no one has said pacquiao. p4p he's the strongest. he hits very hard too. he's one of the stongest ever.

 

Ricky Hatton was a monster at 140lbs in terms of pure physical strength. Shame he didn't have much technique.

Frank Bruno was a very strong heavyweight, who again, lacked technique.

Margarito is one of the strongest welterweights I've seen in recent years, very tough and very strong, and I'd also give Jean Marc Mormeck and Glen Johnson and honourable mention, their entire fighting style was based on walking through punches and bullying their way into the inside.

 

Ricky Hatton is a really good shout.
