    This answer will probably cause quite an uproar, but I'm going with B-hop! His strength is indicative to his style, push, shove. He could always bully, I know that he was never athletically talented and used his strength to base everything else off, of course though lacking talent he became beastly coordinated through repetition.

    Yeah that's what I usually get from it when people talk about strength in regards to boxing. I'm sure Terry Norris could probably bench a hell of a lot more than Dick Tiger but if he tried to roughhouse and bully him he'd fail.
