Strongest fighter ever lived

[hellfire508]

Someone who was deceivingly strong was Muhammad Ali. He was immobilise his opponent in clinches. He looked a rather lean heavyweight, but he was very, very strong. (Not the strongest though).

He'd have to squat more than that I could do 450 in high school

the only time you squat is to take a piss you fairy

yeah ali was able to get that old hand behind the head alot during fights to wear out bigger, stronger opponents and then in the later rounds he could take control and really push them around...good move but illegal

Oh no doubt. If you can get away with it, then do it. I think the majority of great fighters used illegal tactics, and most of the time got away with it.

Majority? Like who else besides Holyfield? Foreman was strong enough to overcome that dirty ****.

I could make an enormous list of illegal tactics great fighters use and get away with. It's part of ring generalship. It's called tricks of the trade. If you understand boxing you can see the subtleties if not the outright fouls.

Larry Holmes used to throw a slightly open glove uppercut, thumbing opponents, or hold a fighters head with his left hand before hitting him with a right (Jack Johnson trick) ...

Foreman used to forceably push guys back at the shoulders, rabbit punch, kidney punch and thumb...

Lennox Lewis would hold and hit or push down a forearm on the back of an opponents neck...

Duran on the inside would often put the top of his head under an opponents chin and push up, would drag his laces on an opponents face when freeing his arms in clinches, would headbutt, hit on the break and also used the thumb when necessary ie: thumbed Davey Moore in the first round blinding him in one eye (on purpose? hhmmmm....)

Hagler would headbutt and punch low...

Leonard would hit after the bell or on the breaks...

And of course Ali could write a book on subtle fouls...and Tyson on the obvious

That's funny, because it's so true. One was smooth about it, the other was ******ed.

David Tua. Dude has never been knocked down and he fought alot of good dudes.

Strongest fighter ever? Foreman and Jeffries? The strongest out of these two.. i have no idea.

I thought the only subtle foul of Ali was the thumb.

Also, Ali said in his autobiography "The Greatest" that Foreman pushed him around like a rag doll...
