    Default Who are the strongest people?

    And I'm not talking about strength as in who can lift more weight, but who can beat the other in a fight (no weapons).

    I guess it depends on how the winner of the match is determined (Knockout, anything else?), considering the difference in fighting styles from Boxing, UFC, etc.

    Obviously we would/should still go by weight classes.

    in a street fight with no weapons, no biting, scratching, kicking the balls, anything dirty. I'll go with Wilt. But if you dress up like a basket, you will definitely not get hit.

    1 on 1 grappling has an advantage (assuming relatively equal size and skill level in their respective fighting styles).

    Anything other than that stand up striking has a huge advantage.
