Zoro is considered to be one of the Straw Hat crew's top three fighters, so much that people occasionally mistake him as the captain of the Straw Hat Crew after witnessing his fighting skills in battle. And while Luffy always fights the most powerful enemy, Zoro always ends up fighting the second strongest (with the exeption of the Baratie arc). Even without his swords, he has extremely unbelievable monstrous strength. At a very young age he lifted boulders over his head for training, and is now able to toss an entire building at an opponent. He can use some sword techniques without his swords. He has also been shown to pack powerful punches. He even developed the ability to pump his arms up with pure muscle.
Zoro is unarguably an extremely strong fighter. While most pirates and villains gain their powers from eating one of the Devil Fruits, Zoro has gained his power and skills through hard work and training alone instead. Zoro has enough power in his lower body to allow him to keep up at a running pace with Sanji, who is a master of his own Leg-based style. He can also move at nearly inconceivable speeds and jump at astonishing heights. He can even dodge bullets with ease. He has been known to effectively knock out much larger creatures with unarmed strikes. Zoro also defeats opponents with massive punches and kicks. Also, during his fight with Kaku, he used an ability called "Asura" that gave him seemingly god-like powers. What this ability was, and how he attained it, are still unclear, but it was powerful enough to make numerous holes in the ground, as well as defeating Kaku. In Enies Lobby Arc, the Franky Family and Galley-La carpenters noted twice that Zoro was strong enough to be the captain of the group. Another testament to Zoro's strength is his ability to fight to a stalemate against Luffy, his captain and powerful Devil Fruit combatant, at the island of Whiskey Peak. Zoro could deflect a punch from Oars which is another testimonial to his monstrous strength. He also lasted the longest against Oars out of his crew with only Luffy not being present. Also he is the only known character in One Piece to have landed an attack on Kuma, who seemed untouchable until then.

To match his strength, Zoro also has an incredible tolerance of pain, evidenced by numerous situations he has thus far endured: Mr. 1's two buzz saws jamming into his chest during the Arabasta arc, Arlong's saw-like nose stabbing into his chest, Mihawk's Black Sword slashing his chest, CP9's Kaku's many Rankyaku attacks, Oars' kick and Kuma's Ursus Shock. This last is especially impressive as Zoro managed to absorb the tremendous amount of punishment Luffy had taken, besides the damage inflicted on him during fights with Oars and Ryuma only remarking afterward "Nothing happened" when questioned by Sanji.
During almost all of his major battles, Zoro is usually seen covered with blood at the end. Zoro's agility, speed, and overall reflexes are also extraordinary. In numerous occasions, Zoro has shown being able to evade (or block) high-speed attacks and projectiles. These high-speed attacks and projectiles move so fast that it would normally be impossible for an average human to even notice them, much less evade them.
