Was curious if someone could point me toward other forwards who bully the opposition and can impose their will on defenders..the bulldog types.

Carlos Tevez and Didier Drogba are the two who immediately come to mind when referencing this style of play

Mitrovic, Ibrahimovic and Cantona quickly come to mind.

Martin Palermo
Adolfo "El Tren" Valencia
Oliver Bierhoff
Hamilton Ricard
Ivan "Bam Bam" Zamorano

All of these were powerful players. Not all high work rate types but fighting mentality or just brute strength.

Rooney was a force in his early years when he was up front

Agreed Rooney from 08-11 prime was unreal.

Nwankwo Kanu deserves a mention. Dude was a load up front to deal with. 6'6" and had great feet. He wasn't nasty but was certainly never getting pushed around.

Aston Villa Benteke
Everton Lukaku


Guys like Huntelaar, Suarez, Cavani were more "complete" in their prime but they could certainly hold their own in the box
