She could... I've seen her do it... In Richmond, Va. (some years back) The WWF was in town, she and Trips came into Powerhouse gym (Big Paulie R.I.P.) and I saw her do 315... I caught her in the middle of a set, so I didn't see how many reps she did... but I know it was more than 2.
Just before she signed with WWF i had her doing 315 for 3-4 reps on her Bench press....455 for 10 on her squat.She only weighed 180 at the time too

"You" had her doing that?
I'd love to see the depth on that 455

Just cause Tyson couldn't bench 400 doesn't mean he wasn't a bad mo fo....

Who gives a shit what he benched, the dude was a boxer...

Agreed!  There is a dude at my gym that I have personally witnessed bench 515 raw.  Yet he struggles so much to tie his own shoes that he arrives to the gym and sits down on a bench and puts his gym shoes in front of him and slams his foot into them over and over until they are actually on. 
Who is more terrifying... this bench monster or a primed out tyson?

Big John Studd bench pressed "700-lb" in a video on the official WWE website. I don't think I can access it anymore due to geographical restrictions, but it should still be there for Getbiggers in the USA.

As if we didn't need to think it was so unrealistic to see heavy juicers be so big and strong, they also had to use fake plates to put up fake numbers.  ::)

As for Mike Tyson, he fought just over/under 220-lb at probably just south of 5'11", so I could see him bench pressing 405-lb...but he was a trained boxer who mostly did calisthenics training. I don't think he incorporated much weight training into his training.

Given that he was most likely on steroids and has incredible KO power, I could see him bench press between 315- to 405-lb...but no evidence of such lifts have ever emerged online.

He's still the best fighter by the eye test, IMO.
