    I believe Ricky Hatton would have to be the physically strongest at 140, he's been weight-training with Kerry Kayes to gradually add strength to all his muscles these past four and a half years (because he was already as polished as anybody technically), and he was pretty strong to begin with.

      I don't see how anyone weighing 145 pounds could be stronger than Zab Judah. Just look at his body, that's a fact.

        I believe he's the hardest puncher. Like Manny Steward said, strength and punching power can differ. I think the strongest at 147 in Cornelius Bundrage.

          I concur.

          He has the hardest uppercut in boxing hands down. Nobody's compares.

            You can also add the boy Andre Berto to the list. K9 and Andre don't look like they belong in that division.

              Yeah I don't really know how functional strength would work in a boxing match outside of pressing and rowing actions. All I know is, that Sharmba Mitchell and Zab Judah are physical specimens for their weights. Both of them (Mitchell mainly in his prime at 140) are/were super muscular. Bulky muscle not lean cut. That automatically implies they are strong, that's given.

                neither of them were stronger then Tszyu, and he showed weakness against Hatton.

                  Margarito at 147. He throws wide, slow punches and still knocks guys out. That is a sign of Foreman/Peter type power. It's even more unusual to find a guy at that weight (compared to heavyweight) who can throw punches like that and be effective. He's incredibly heavy handed and strong.

                  Looking at a fighter's physique is not a good way to judge functional strength I don't think. Tyson at 220 was much weaker than the taller and lankier Foreman at the same weight, even though he looked stronger and had more of a "pumped" bodybuilder look.

                    At 140 I gotta go with Hatton. He is a bull. Physical strength has nothing to do with how cut you look.

                    At 147 it's gotta be Margarito or Cotto. Both of these guys are animals.
