Ernie Shavers had one of the biggest punches. Sonny Liston was freakishly strong and had the largest hands of any heavyweight until today.

Yes, the super HW's like Lewis, Klitschko, Wilder, etc., must be very strong. But there is different types of strength. Punching power comes from ligaments and tendons, and then there is core strength, legs and back, different ways in which fighter's develop their strength and power. Plowing fields will make you strong as a bull, you may not bench press as much as Ken Norton, but you can be stronger in other ways like Tua.
