Yes that's true I guess since in past Armwrestling was dominated by west side we had John, MMT, Devon, Dave, Jerry, Travis, Ron bath etc just demolishing everyone all of them were at or close to their prime east had some good guys too but on an average they mostly lost and then came Denis a monster his genetic was one in a million and yet he took gear making him even greater
The match that had with Semerenko, that time of era John Brzenk was a titan. You can watch the full fight, Brzenk was absolutely demolish poor Semerenko, his power and hand control level was just absurd. I think 2005, John was in his supreme shape. His wrists were thick as a tree trunk, his chest were wide his shlulders like boulders, his hands were like goddamn showel. This man has the ultimate genetics for this sport. His hand control level in this sport was just another dimension. The man simply is a Professor.
That match was really something John dominated him so much that I felt bad for Semerenko that version if John for me is the prime John not as explosive as 20-25 year old John but still super explosive with strength and endurance to back it up honestly that version of John would have been a serious contender for rank 2 today
John Brzenk is an absolute living legend. Sure he's lost matches, but the man has cemented his status dominating the sport for over 40 years often beating guys who are much bigger than he was during his prime. Sure there are other arm wrestlers who are more popular/well known or better ambassadors for the sport. Longevity, accomplishments, status & universally respected is what defines John’s legacy as the GOAT. Even now at age nearing 58 soon he is still a beast for his weight class. He is indeed the perfect storm ⛈ 💪 🔥 🐐
Devon beat John in 2008 and I know John was injured but id say a 2005 John would beat Devon in any shape or form. From 2008 onwards he did loose the occasional round and it would have been close with. the modern version of Devon
One of the things I've noticed watching all of these videos is that John Brzenk is always gracious both in victory and defeat - a ferocious competitor, but a true sportsman as well.
John vs Semerenko was the most one sided match I have ever seen John was unstoppable that day for me that was the prime John fearless confident dominant strong aggressive he had everything 👏
If anybody just follows video in which he tells about 6 movements in armwrestling and just train those movements he will be in elite level he wont even need table time according to my opinion just use weights and train those movements for 5to 8 years
That fight at 1:14 ... the guy was an absolut moron and pissed off everyone. So yeah John was angry, but watch that guy fight vs Taras Ivakin, its even funnier 😂
John is undoubtedly a phenomenon in this sport, but Levan - first he is younger - second he is many times heavier - third (STEROI "" ""). You know where I'm going, don't you?
@@amirsharoni Would have love to see that..........All Levan is is huge with performance drugs. We saw what he was before he roided up. And I think Levan is great...so powerful. But it's a trick he will not be able to pull off at 60 like John.
@@amirsharoni I think prime John would have a chance in round 3 of a super match and maybe win 4-2, Levan has more horse power but far less stamina but id still bet on Levan 60-40, however equalise the PEDs John would beat him like a ginger step-child.
John Brzenk became the reason Eastern European armwrestlers increased there steroid levels to Hulk Gamma levels just to be equal to him......lol🤣🤣
I agree with you.
I like the thesis.
😂😅
Lmao that’s so true knowing he is the goat

Travis' theory is that John was the reason everyone else took gear - I guess including himself. It's funny and a pity really.
manish ceplenku still lost to june bronze-zinc lul 😂😂😂

I've watched all of John's videos several times and the emotion is always the same. Greetings.

@@godabhi8599 With PEDs he'd kill Levan
@@godabhi8599 Travis once said the best version of himself fought 2005 John he said John was simply 11/10 off the charts.
Amazing edit! Can never get enough of John's matches. Thanks.
Thank you. We will never be able to get enough of him. 💪😉

John’s nationality is Eastern European his ethnicity is polish, his grandpa came from Poland
Brzenk was a monster in the 2000s. If we had this version of brzenk at KOTT, Devon would've been manhandled
@Od1sseas it’s facts no joke 😂😉
@Od1sseas we’ll never know unless it happens😂😉

I have not read a better comment than this one. RESPECT !!!
John is the best of all-time by a mile.
As an American, I've gone to several events where he's competed and he truly is legendary
What makes John a great champion is he always acknowledged when he was beat.
Im just sad that not many of young brzenk pulling video. Young brzenk was ultimate domination.
John Brzenk is the Michael Jordan of arm wrestling. That's all you need to know.
Brzenk, Brady, Jordan, Ali, Woods
The gap between Jordan and Wilt/Russel/Magic etc etc is small the Gap between John and everyone else is interstellar
The Larry Bird
Perfectly stated
The man the legend the myth John Brsenk.
John vs Semerenko was the most one sided match I have ever seen John was unstoppable that day for me that was the prime John fearless confident dominant strong aggressive he had everything 👏
Nice video about the GOAT & nice music!
1:14 This is the match that always jumps to mind whenever the words "angry Brzenk" are mentioned.
GOAT
a fresh John would have been fun against VEVODA
Fresh heavier and motivated. If he took the same PEDs as Alexey he'd only need two fingers to beat him
a 2006 version.
John is the ultimate king of the table
Alexy had great potential…if he was active since today..cant imagine😮
was roided up pretty bad too, even into his olympic career.
Had to bulk up and it costs the body....John is perfect...and still top maybe 20-30 at 60!
Almost 58 and FOR SURE within top 3 in the world in his weight class. Pretty damn absurd!
Легенда, при жизни, через него прошли все.
The G.O.A.T 🫅
John is true legend in arm wrestling !!!
And he return to arm wrestling with his crazy strength and endurance.
Alexey Voeyvoda was the only guy that managed to pin the goat at that time...
If anybody just follows video in which he tells about 6 movements in armwrestling and just train those movements he will be in elite level he wont even need table time according to my opinion just use weights and train those movements for 5to 8 years
Which video?
His match against Denis is god tier
The last match vs matt mask , always funny😂
The GOAT!!!!
0:05 He really just used that guy as his exercise 💀
Брзенк лучший армрестлер!
Awesome
He absolutely destroyed the some of the best in the world.
Alexy never gave John a rematch I wonder why
I didn't see John "angry" in a single one of those clips... clickbait title
Tha G.O.A.T.
If a 30 year old John took the gear Levan and Dennis take he would beat anyone period.
Tim robbins will play John in the movie :)
Know is the go Gregory.. hahahhaa
0:40 thats where john beats dennis who everyone thinks is the strongest
John is on a rage-fest mission to get back to Devon.
It is very close !!!
Devon is beyond John now
@@benbushell1448 Finally, after John's 40 years of Dominance
why is he angry
❤️
1:57 I’ve never seen that match and John scold those referees
Who’s john’s rival there?
Stoyan Golemanov from Bulgaria .
That fight at 1:14 ... the guy was an absolut moron and pissed off everyone. So yeah John was angry, but watch that guy fight vs Taras Ivakin, its even funnier 😂
How about john vs levan?
John is undoubtedly a phenomenon in this sport, but Levan - first he is younger - second he is many times heavier - third (STEROI "" "").
You know where I'm going, don't you?
if john was in his prime it could have been amazing
@@amirsharoni Would have love to see that..........All Levan is is huge with performance drugs. We saw what he was before he roided up. And I think Levan is great...so powerful. But it's a trick he will not be able to pull off at 60 like John.

@@benbushell1448 Agree, however, ermes got levan allmost in to a heart attck, and he doesnt have half the skill of John
Bad to the bone
Imagine a 40 year old Brzenk on all the shit they're taking nowadays... LOOOOOL
GOAT
