Strongest fighter ever lived

[Schifoso]

tyson's strength out of prison was artificial. he was on steroids.

No he wasn't, he just had nothing better to do than to pump while in prison. Everyone who spends 3 years in there pumps like crazy.

Tyson was squatting 500+ out of prison.

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

Do you want someone weighing 230 to squat 800 pounds?

Apparently Tyson was the exception to your "everyone" rule, because, if you can remember (specifically the interview that a thinner/less muscular Tyson gave while nearing the end of his prison term), Tyson lost quite a bit of weight/muscle mass while inside...

"It was not only Tyson's fortune that shrank. The man who walked free from prison looked a shadow of the 238-pound colossus who was handcuffed and led away to the cells in March 1992. He had kept himself fit in the prison gymnasium with daily workouts, but the awesome physique that used to promote fear in his opponents was much reduced." - 'The Release of Power' by Reg Gutteridge

after prison, tyson's look was much different than pre prison. when he was in his prime, he was muscular, but he didn't have the body builder look that he had post prison.

P4P Holyfield might be the strongest. He was a cruiserweight and he pushed Tyson away and even Lennox Lewis! He couldn't do anything like that to Foreman though.

i hear alot about jeffries i read somewhere he did his roadwork with a deer on his back but i havent seen any proof of this

from what i have seen it must be foreman

[6OVER6LORD6]

he did it with a calf, not a deer

ok um Primo Carnera was a circus strong man before boxing. He was 6'5 260-275 prime. He was not the best boxer ever but without a doubt one of the strongest fighters of all time

this thread should not be called, "strongest fighter who every lived", it shud be called strongest champ who ever lived coz every1 is naming champs. there might be boxers who are physical beasts but were just crap at boxing so they never got their name up there, like Mariusz Pudzianowski who used to be an amateur boxer and if thats the case, hes the strongest. But if you just include the top guys i wud have to say Valuev. No boxer in the history of boxing wud be able to push away or move around valuev in a clinch, NONE. he cud just stay there and no1 cud push him, hes over 300lbs
