I don't think the fact that being able to survive hellish environment proves that he is physically tough because remember, what traveled down into hell isn't his physical body but his spirit. While I would attribute some deal of STR and END to him by the fact that he still is a former crusader, therefore has had some deal of physical combat experiences, it still shouldn't be any higher than that of Gilles, another Caster who had been a physical fighter before becoming a Caster.
