    Brzenk the greatest, Devon the man that put Arm wrestling on the Map, Cyplenkov the man who took arm wrestling to another levels of strenght, Levan the present invencible monster that everyone wants to beat.

      @@lucasmaradei I agree. I think he might go 18-0 on that day. As much of a fan as I am of all of them...Levan is a different level of strength to all of them. I think he'd blast right through Todd's lock. I think his center of table is so strong that none of them could get into their comfort zone. The only way he might lose a match in the end is if they put Devon at the end, so that he could bleed him out after his 12 rounds he competed with the others.

      ​@@rce6411 Levan has Acromegaly - Acromegaly is a rare condition where the body produces too much growth hormone, causing body tissues and bones to grow more quickly. Over time, this leads to abnormally large hands and feet, and a wide range of other symptoms. Acromegaly is usually diagnosed in adults aged 30 to 50, but it can affect people of any age.
      Levan has a terrible condition of it too because his head was malformed before puberty.
      Denis was " smaller " too when he was younger.
      TL'DR = Levan, Dennis, and Oleg shouldn't be allowed to compete - they have a genetic defect. It's the same thing as a 7 foot tall kid with gigantism playing middle school basketball. It's innately unfair. If you disagree you're a moron.

      That's right, like it or not, the levels of steroids and their quantity taken by athletes, are increasing more and more, look Arnold in the field of bodybuilding, nowadays it would be mediocre compared to the various Phill Heat Ronnie Coleman etc, same speech for the strongman , remember that just 20 years ago the deadlift record was 80kg less than the current record, I mean, genetics in strength sports matters and it is the first component, then there is the technique but the third factor is the quantity and the tolerance of steroids which have always increased over time

    Ryan a question for you. Hypothetically if a athlete like Levan does not lose a single round let alone matches for 10 to 15 years, will that put someone like Levan to contend for GOAT title? I mean even John while being consistently super impressive took some losses here and there.

      no.,..in my and opinion of most of fans and athletes..no,...as ryan said to match johns achievement...u need to become world champ as teen...and be outweighted by most u pull...on top of that u need to be the man for almost 50 years....then one can consider himself goat....,its harder to be w champ as teen and pull for 50 years and be outweighted than to not lose single round in ur peak for few years..plus in levans case he outweights everyone and has much bigger hands than anyone...mypersonal opinion and most ll agree,..take it or leave it

    John Brzenk is the GOAT. There is no armwrestler today who can touch his career. No one. Most influential armwrestler in my humble opinion is Devon larratt, with John being a close second (again, just my opinion) Best of all time is something that I don't think can be answered now or in a year from now. But if in a couple of years no can beat levan, then, I think you have your answer. Denis would very much be in this conversation, if not front and centre had he not gotten sick. With puskar, we'll never know. Gone way to soon for such a brilliant armwrestler. Devon, well that story is still being written.

However, taking into account his active deployments during his (first) prime, Devon is the true GOAT. He was the first world champion on both arms, and dominated John on right and Pushkar on left.
