I agree Marvin Hagler had the best chin in boxing, the only time he got wobbled was against Hearns for a split second in the first round of their terrific fight and he went in with some decent punchers. He was never knocked down properly the only time he took a count was when he slipped against Roldan.

THE BEST ONE OF ALL TIME\n\n PATRICK ROY (WAH)

best pound for pound is Floyd Mayweather BUT best pound for pound to watch is a toss up between Manny Pacquiou for his awesome offense and Marcus Antonio Barrera specifically for his 3 wars with Erik Morales.  I would have said Arturo Ghatti before he changed his style. His wars with Mickey Ward were amazing. A journeyman Emmanuel Burton had some wars with Ward and Ghatti as well I forget what he changed his last name to recently though.

Louise Cyr according to some sources is considered the greatest strongman of all time. \n\nhe passed away some years back but his feats of strength were trully ledgendary.

in terms of quality, I'll say the Philippines. PacMan is probably the best pound for pound boxer right now and can be compared with the other greats in any division in any era. In terms of quantity, there certainly are more mexicans who are or were champs.

It should be Manny Pacquiao since he's beaten the best in his division and not pick his opponents like Mayweather does. However, Mayweather's undefeated and that may be the only reason why he's the #1 pound for pound guy. I disagree though. It should be Pacquiao.

PBF is considered to be the No.1 by most "experts" at the moment. He has unequalled talent and skill of a true champion, but it seems that he is avoiding quality opposition and been doin' nothin' for the past 3 years now.\n\nSo i have to pick Manny "PACMAN" Pacquiao to be the best out there. Not only he is the top P4P boxer, but he is also the most exciting fighter to watch in the ring. he'd been fighting the best in his division and knocking them off too! and he does'nt just stop there, he seeks out for more! This guy is definitely the man to beat at 130!\n\nPACMAN rules!!!

Steve Reeves of course. After all he is the one that made bodybuilding a household word.

I would say Rey Mysterio.  He was the cruiser weight champ many times, and he can be again.  Although he can't be heavyweight and cruiserweight champion at the same time.

I would have to go with Hulk Hogan...look at his longevity.\n\nOther greats (at least in my opinion) include:\nStone Cold, Ric Flair, Brett Hart, Macho Man, and Kurt Angle...to name a few.

Weight lifting helps as long as it done in a manner that enhances acceleration, speed, etc...  Weight lifting only to get stronger will not make you a better athlete overall.  There are also many drills designed to specifically improve acceleration and starting speed/strength.  Check the link below for more information and explanations as to things that can be done...it is also designed specifically for basketball players.

Bobby Lashley for sure. Lashley has beaten Finlay and Lashley is the United States Champion too.
