who was the physically strongest middleweight?

Mickey Walker.

 

Lou Brouillard {human fireplug], Frank Klaus and Marcel Thil...

 

Does it have to be a champion? Juan Roldan was strong as a bull.

 

A forgotten fighter of the late 50's / early 60's.


Florentino "the Ox" Fernández (March 7, 1936 in Santiago de Cuba – January 28, 2013) was a Cuban middleweight who fought from 1956-1972. His overall record was 50 wins (43 by KO), 16 losses and two draws.

 

Strongest MW I've ever seen.

 

I'll go with the two most mentioned...Tiger was a powerhouse. Monzon was never seemingly taken far out of his comfort zone due to the physicality of an opponent...his style had something to do with that, but also his strength did too...and when he needed to slow things down, he was able to because of his strength.
Walker is a good mention here too...and Greb!

 

Dick Tiger, no question.

 

The ones who moved up to light heavyweight?

 

Carter was very muscular but not a big middle.
Turpin was a strong 160 pounder.

I would think Turpin would be up there
