What is the strongest creature or creatures in Middle Earth? In terms of physical strength?

My list is;

1. Ents
2. Dragon
3. Balrog
4. Istari
5. Beorn
6. Cave Trolls
7. Elven Lords

While the power and who would in a versus is another issue, I am looking for pure strength.

I put Ents first as the feats they accomplish are unbelievable. Tossing tons of rock and iron posts hundreds of feet in the air like leaves and crumbling rock like paper is stronger than a Balrog or Dragon. I loved the scenes as depicted in the movie too, I though they captured the power of Ents perfectly. The scene where the dam bursts and they stand against the power of the water flooding down almost defies belief.

Who would win between a Balrog and an Ent?

Balrog are corrupted Maia but Ents are as old and likely created during the song that created Arda. Treebeard has been around since the beginning and that plus his physical strength should at least give him a chance.
