Who is the physically strongest LHW of all time?

[FriskyRandy]

This. It's probably some completely unremarkable fighter with very bad cardio. LOL @ people saying Jones... with those toothpick legs?? Also, this is a very weird and unnecessary thread

Unnecessary but you click it and respond.

Genius logic from this guy.

Maybe so, but among first-tier fighters, Ryan Bader looked awfully strong to me.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

"Elite" wouldn't even be a stretch

An insane deadlift. Jones is impressive but anyone knows who deadlifts long arms make it easier. Jones reach makes it an 18 lift.

Also, he usually makes use of a belt, and the deadlift I saw from him included resistance bands holding the bar as well

My first thought was prime Rampage.

 

[WOLVERINEKILLS]

Vitor Belfort.

 

[Croton]

Jon hit 600 lb on the deadlift pretty damn fast during his short stint of powerlifting.

Prime rampage

1. Jones

gap

2. DC
3. Rumble
4. Davis

Jones by far, he threw Cormier around like a little girl and was way stronger than Gane…

 

[doggo]

It is very hard to tell without seeing them all in a weight room at their peak

Jones prided himself on his strength during his powerlifting phase and did look super strong against everyone he faced...
Randleman seemed freakishly strong but had an explosive athleticism (what Golovking said)


Hard to really tell in a fight because only the fighters can feel the opponent's physical strength, and a lot of factors like timing, leverage and technique are involved

Rampage was also a special kind of strong, Randleman coouldn't move him when he tried.

 

[Hotora86]

I know who the physically strongest HW is for sure.

 

[13Seconds]

Hardest hitting and strongest is not the same thing

This. People are confused.

 

[13Seconds]

It's Rampage. Fighters had a hard time just describing his strength. Apparently It's freakish.

He's physically gifted.

 

[Egészségére!]

Ilir Latifi 617 lbs deadlift

 

[Ballsaque]

I was thinking about the strongest fighters of all time by division and couldn't come up with a clear answer for LHW. Who do you guys think is physically strongest? DC? Jones? Randleman? William Knight?

[Iroh]

Rampage wasn't impressed by Randleman's strength, so would add him as a nomination.

In shape Rampage Jackson. He slammed guys almost thru the mat.
