Even without taking into consideration a superior level of sportsmanship, great respect for his opponents, willingness to teach and share and of course great humility, John Brzenk would still be the undisputed Greatest of All Time. He is one of the best examples of a class athlete alive.
@@wrestlewaffle6145 , I wasn't aware that Dave was invited. John has said in his Monday night live streams, that Dave has distanced himself from Arm wrestling, and concentrates on his Karate stuff now.
Dave got injured and quit armwrestling, but he's such a competitive beast that he got his black belt in Gracie Jiu Jitsu and started winning tournaments in that. Big titles. He also won 35 world title finals in armwrestting in various weight classes over the years.
Dave Patton is my all time favorite! Dave also mentored and taught Travis Bagent and many others. I have Dave and Ray Patton's arm wrestling strap that used in practice for decades in my Grip Museum. Also have several written correspondence between myself and Dave. These things are priceless to me.
Look how many crossover vids on youtube there are of Devon. Growing the sport way more than anyone else out there. And he can still perform. That is why he is top 5. 70% of the people commenting on here would not know who Levan is if Devon didn't have that one match with him.
Are you 12? Because anyone that follows arm wrestling knew Levan....even when he lost a few times 5-7 years ago. You're just one of those silly Devon fanatics.
Voevoda didn't have enough time in the sport. And the version of John he beat was one of John's worst. Only version worst than that was probably the form right after his shoulder surgery.
@@spokojnyfuriat They all are. You didn't see him in list because he had a short stint. The impressive part isn't becoming the best, it's staying the best over time. And coming back through diversity etc.
I suppose, but hadn't Brzenk given up armwrestling and only came back for the documentary? In any case, a true supermatch isn't in a tournament, where each armwrestler has already had many matches.
All respect to Patton & Walker. No one was as dominant as Cleve Dean during that era. He won it within a year of his first competition and held stand up sit down arm and wrist wrestling world titles in BOTH hands guys. Right & Left. All through the 80s he was far better than his competition. Cleve Dean easily the most dominant arm wrestler in the 80s. One of the top ever to do it. Even came back in the 90s and won some hardware after years off.
Devon has done more for growing the sport than anyone else in the world, he has traveled to multiple countrys and armwrestled thousands of people, done lots of collabs with huge youtubers and his own channel has over half a mil subs
Brzenk faced more opponents overseas by far than Devon. He was one of the few that did it consistently to face more competition. Even in the 90s. I can name on two hands the times that Devon has done that. Nothing against Devon, but it's just not true what you're spouting when it comes to traveling the world. That's been recent, and certain parts of the late 2000s. The other parts are true of course.
i like those choices. my top 5 obivously john is the goat and we dont need go to deep into that discussion because hes been on top since the 80s and beat the best of the best and still competing with the top guy at his age. of course devon is up there not only of because what hes done in the sport but how much of a pioneer he has been for the sport and getting eyes from of all over the world to tune in, he is definitely the best ambassador of the sport and probably everyones fav armwrestler. he has beaten almost everyone and is still at the top pf the game. next i would say denis because of how dominate he was during his reign, when he was on top and probably the best left hand puller of all time and just a pure example of strength and power. he was the first guy that everyone thought of as unbeatable and just a freak of nature. next would have to be Levan i mean i know its still kinda early(sorta but not really) putting up there even with all the greats that have came in the sport but have we ever seen someone dominate like levan? hes proabably the most strongest puller of all time left or right and what hes doing right now pretty much sums up how great he is. HE is the best in the world and probably will be for a long time. we have never seen someone like levan besides denis so for that he has to be one of the greats. for my last pick im being a little biased because hes probably my fav of all time because of how much of a show man he is and obviously how good he was in his prime. i think travis bagent is up there because of his charisma and of course his talents. travis was such a beast back in the day with right and we all know about his left and the trash talk made me even more intrigue with him more. even with devon he couldnt go trash talk for trash talk with bagent. he talked alot of shit but also backed it up. i definitely hold travis as one of the best of all time but to be honest im just being biased because hes my fav of all time. and for the last but not least ryan bowen. well you know
All depend what are we considering when talking about goat, it is pretty sure that only maybe Dennis prime can give trouble to current Levan, noone else is even close so I would say very dominant position Levan is right now. Arguments like roid usage, come on- everybody uses and its definitely more dangerous to older guys. He doesn't pull very often, so he would be somehow better if he would just crush everyone more often? Matter of perspective.
You say that like it was fact. Who knows how good Voevoda was on his peak days/weeks for example. A few of the best on their best days could all be in a league we don't know.
@@mariomariu4394 I am saying like I believe it yes. You can compare their weightlifts but in overall sense, like every other sport, AW has also evovled and so is the training. To me how Levan beat probably the worlds second AW Devon right now was just mindblowing, just the fact how he did it. He did not care about the setup at all and just ran through him like it was nothing. I feared if he is not smart enough he will put himself in a bad position but he just didnt care and I believe if it would have been strict rules world nr 2 could not get even to straps. Also I think Brzenk is not worse when he was competing so you get a pretty good comparison of how old timers would fare today.
Denis has to be the GOAT because he's the most dominant armwrestling both arms considered. Levan will probably become the second best but he really needs to start having matches more often for that.
198 to 415 lbs 12 13 inch wrist 25inch arms 20 plus in forearms Hush!!! He is a transhuman, Levan naturally at his biggest, naturally, prob 300lbs, he wouldn't fair well against the goat or others. Both Levan and Dennis are transhuman, were the apples to apples and not on copious amounts of gear, John and others would kill them.
Levon will for sure make that list but for such a big dominant man his downfall will be in activity . He could prob beat all the top guys in a single night but he has to be such a long planned out build up for any of his matches . He should be taking advantage of his youth before his health fails from being over weight and clear the field . He will defeat himself seeing is weight and cardio .Practically died walking up a hill .
This is why engin or whoever promotes these armwrestling events as well as KOTT NEED to get a handle on Levan's weight. They need to tell him he cannot compete until he meets a certain weight (which should be substantially lower than it is now
1.breznk (goat) 2.fischer( never forget he is 26 time world champion) 3. Laratt ( made arm wresler so popular, nobody can match his influence in this sport) 4. Levan (still young he still has 30 years to compete maybe he will overtake john)
levan never will overtake john. john has destroyed on top rank opponents with far over 300lbs while he was 190-220lbs. Levan need to win against opponents the have 500 and more lbs to will became the same status like a John Brzenk. And I don't even have to start with levan from a 40-year dominant career like john, because in terms of health I don't trust levan to do it.
Jesus Christ. Veovoda beat John Brzenk, a full 40 lbs lighter than himself. Who the hell else did he beat? Travis Bagent once? He was on top for a year?? And people want to throw his name in with the best of all time?? Momma's basement dwelling morons.
You Tube made arm wrestling popular not any arm wrestler himself, just like Texas bbq went world wide from 2012 to 2022 No arm wrestler made the sport popular
Same reason he didn't mention Voevoda. Hasn't been a long enough period of time yet. I have no doubt when all is said and done that John would include Levan.

"Dennis the plink off" (ノﾟДﾟ)
Allen Fisher & Cleve Dean deserve some love
He was naming heavy weights😂😂
Cleve was so dominate from 77-86 he won 95% of the tournaments in that span
John Brzenk is the best of all Time. Nobody has been as successful for as long as him. If Devon and John were both the same age. John would win
quite likely
Guy didn't even think to mention himself. He's been giving up 50+lbs to other guys for years and crushing them.
Johny Walker...he must have been very calm person.
I'm suprised to not see Alexey Voevoda there since he was the one who stopped Brzenk's undefeated streak
