One is a strength sport, one isn't. Which one do you think is going to be stronger?

The general rule is that """powerlifters""" (aka the type who talk shit about bodybuilding on the internet) will never, ever look like bodybuilders but bodybuilders can be as strong as """powerlifters""" easily.
Now when you talk about actual powerlifters the line blurs a bit because if an IFBB pro enters a ppwrlifting comp. then I guess he is classified as a powerlifter; so a powerlidter can have a bodybuilder physique in that case (Stan Efferding comes to mind).

El oh el this is what Veeky Forums "strength trainers" actually believe.
These are the type of people that call huge bodybuilders weak because they see them benching only 225/315 at the gym and magically assume that is their max bench press.

a bodybuilder can handle far more volume than a power lifter. But in terms of absolute strength, no.

Again, there are A LOT of bodybuilders that are/were powerlifters. The opposite is almost never true.

Strength is your capacity to move objects. Being stronger than someone else is being able to move a bigger object than they can. Powerlifters move the biggest objects for the 3 competition lifts.

The strongest people on earth are strongmen. Hafthor, bigZ , Brian Shaw and Eddie Hall are all pretty fat, but stronger than any bodybuilder by a mile. Strongman is pretty much powerlifting with many extra awkward movements. So to answer you, no. Powerlifters are stronger than bodybuilders

I can do that too.

There's too much variables for a decent answer to your question. Generally the guy who's training to be stronger is going to always be stronger and the guy who's life revolves around maneuvering heavy objects is going to be better at it.
Ive been in construction for almost 10 years now and I've seen some really big guys one uped by little hispanic guys who just do this for a living.
There's like levels of tolerance and joint resilience, so many factors...
Successful body builders just can't really focus and risk training like a powerlifter would and therefore are not as strong as they can be.
