Most likely the Chianina, since it is a draft breed with a heavy bone structure and tends to be the heaviest breed of bovine in weight in the world. Belgian Blue may also be a candidate, however with their finer bone structure and extreme muscling that is often much too heavy for the animals to work with, some animals (especially the bulls) get to the point where they're literally incapacitated by their own weight and need human assistance to even walk into a trailer. So just because they look like "body builders" doesn't necessarily mean they'd be considered as the strongest breed of bovine in the world. Chianinas, on the other hand, are built for work, even though they do not have the double muscling myostatin gene, and are thus bred to pull very heavy loads in the country they were originally bred for draft work. South Devons are another large breed that should also be considered as one of the strongest breeds, since this breed was also bred for draft purposes.
