Whose the physically strongest fighter @ 140lbs and 147lbs right now?

[K-Nan]

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.

It's weird, because muscle usually weighs guys down and can restrict flexibility. But then Zab has to be one of the fastest fighters ever at 140.

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.

Muscle Size has everything to do with strength.

I never mentioned muscular defenition.

unnesceserelly, look at all these olympic sprinters. These guys are ripped to shreds but they are very fast. Functional strength also equals to speed, because speed is technically strength/

im lost...so in that case hatton isn't the most physcially strong at 140?

LMFAO.

Your point is?

Your point is?

Hatton has nowhere near the muscle mass Judah does, therefore he's not as strong in my book. End of story. Both are the same height, and have similar body frames.

I don't want to hear about how strong Hatton is because of his in ring antics, when we'll never know how strong either fighter is.

Everything is hearsay, and me stating that Zab Judah is equally as strong as anyone in the welter like divisions is as correct as stating Hatton is.

Umm, I think its judah's weight in pic at welter(before the second spinks fight)
And hatton's at junior welter.
Also, Judah is posing and his physique, while very proportional, is nothing special and does not conclude that he got more strength then Hatton.

[Kid Achilles]

Plenty of bodybuilders can't lift half as much weight as powerlifters at the same weight with smaller bicep, chest, quad, etc measurements. Muscle size does not equate muscle efficiency.

But they aren't bulky like a Zab Judah is. Don't you see the difference between the muscle mass and definition? I'm not talking about how defined these guys are.
