naw man, he definitly had strength back in teh day, maybe not to his level today but he was able to pick up and toss dudes with one arm. I'm confident I remember that. He was much stronger than a normal person. Sorry no scan, but there a time when he tossed around KP men like nothing then when he tried to take on KP and he couldn't do jack shit.
but not that i'm thinking abut it, how is BP slashing durability? Crock got them claws and bite.
Spidey did have above class 10 strength back then. KingPin is stronger than Croc and probably faster unless Croc can bite some vital parts threw all that blubber Fisk wrecks him 9/10.
how far back goes the term "classic"? 25 years? 30 years? 35?

Classic Kingpin is no stronger than current. He never had superhuman strength. He was just strong. And wasnt it established that Spider-man always held back when he fought Kingpin?

I would agree that the Spider-Man fights can be chocked up to Spidey holding back but KP did have super-strength. A peak human can't do some of the things KP did back in the day. Classic KP was at least Class 1.

i dont know why but the thing is my mind say that killer croc should win but for some reason if i try to imagine them fighting i see king pin breaking his jaw and having a new pair of shoes
Actually Batman did use chi of some kind when he kicked a metal safe open. Remember he's studied under all kinds of Monks, Martial Artists, and Mystics including the Monks of Namba Parbat. Even if it doesn't state it you have to assume that if he performs a superhuman feat its thanks to his esoteric training and not actual superhuman physical stats.
