Strength of Elite Boxers

[Fulcrum29]

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

Kostya Tsyu benched over 300lbs+ and was working on getting up more. He was around what 140lbs?

Hatton famously leg pressed like 1200lbs or whatever it was in that video long ago but many people complained his extension was very weak as he barely bent his knees. Hatton is 140lbs.

When Mike Tyson was 13 years old he was roughly 5'8 190-200lbs he bench pressed 250lbs 10 times..as stated in his biography..so if he can do 250lbs ten times I'm assuming one lift he can probably do 275-300lbs at 13 years old.

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.

Like I said in my post, Kostya Tsyu is stronger and benched 300-350lbs at 140lbs...Mosley does the weight you said at 147 PLUS steroids, Tsyu was natural..he works alot with those kettle ball weights.
