Strongest fighter ever lived

[butterfly1964]

Based on logic at heavyweight it would be Foreman.Not only did people like Holyfield who fought the Tyson's,Lewis,Bowe ect ect ect say Foreman was the strongest he faced Foreman was also the only one who push Holyfield around the ring and Foreman fought a prime Holyfield who never lost.
Foreman was the only heavyweight i seen who was never really man handled.He is the only heavyweight who always came forward even against other fighters who were punchers he always made them go backward.
And i seen Foreman pull a jeep up a hill..sure it isnt as big as that bus but i am sure that is Foreman spent his life lifting weights and taking drugs to become stronger he would do the same..

I've never really seen muhammad ali really manhandled either. even by foreman.

You can't really push a man back who's already on the ropes!

even off the ropes ali held his own in terms of strength.

Nah man, Foreman pushed his body all over the ropes and Ali couldn't do anything. But in the later rounds when Foreman got tired, wich is when you loose strenght, Ali held his own.

i'm not saying ali is stronger than foreman, but IMO he is top 5 of strongest boxers in history. one of his trainers put him on an insane workout regimen of calisthenics when he was 18, and that's why he went from like 185 to 210 in like 3 years! no weights, no steroids just regular calisthenics, and that's why he became so strong! for his size, he strength was crazy!

Every post has been about physically strong or hardest punch, it could go both ways.

IDC as I wasn't involved until someone said Foreman was stronger than that guy while the guy who brought him up was talking about physical strength.

Muscles alone dont make the boxer.

Well Hasim Rahman can bench over 600lbs, Foreman is quite the bit stronger if not alot stronger than Rahman...Foreman is a bear machine. Mariusz Pudzianowski is not that strong, seriously, look at his workout...Pudzianowski's Workout

That doesn't prove anything as it says at the age of 16 he was benching 353 and at 18 452. So yeah he is stronger than Foreman because at that time he wasn't even into boxing.

It also says he did the walk of the lumberman which is carrying 400lbs across a field, it takes more muscle to walk with the weight.

Also its only "rumored" that Hasim Rahman can bench press more than twice of his bodyweight, its said be around 500lbs not 600lbs. He wieghs like 238.

All of that before he was even a worlds strongest man, how can you think for an instant that Foreman was physically stronger?

This Maurice guy, or whatever, had a record of 606lb on bench, I think the world record is like 1050 by some farmer in the midwest.

Foreman is a Machine, I still say he is stronger than Mariusz.

Nelson just proved to be superior to Fenech, all around. Like the true great he was, he adapted to Fenech for fight #2- & buried him.

I wonder if he really was badly affected by malaria in their first bout. He said he was suffering against Whitaker from it too (I believe in the second Fenech post fight interview).

No way can I see him beating Whitaker, but I wonder if he could have fought him a little bit closer.

Lennox Lewis was pretty damn strong
