Strength of Elite Boxers

I heard recently that Shane Mosley could bench 225lbs when he was fighting at 135lbs. I was wondering if people knew the strength of other elite level boxers, either past or present

I heard Jennings was squating 300kg coming into the Cotto fight.

Any serious thoughts?

I meant squatting out a 300kg ***** from fear.

Rumor is that Earl Boykins at 133 pounds can bench over 300

Mosley is a lot stronger than that. I read in a Ring Magazine, years ago that Mosley could bench 315lbs, that's three 45 pound plates on each side. I'm 185lbs and the most I've ever benched is 275. Mosley is a strong mofo, evident in how he was able to move Margarito around so easliy.
