    I'm going to be honest, I knew very little going in to this video. However, early during my research, I realized Arsen's career in arm wrestling is amongst the most interesting I have looked at so far.
    Let me know what you think of the Russian "Shrek" and this video.

    For sure one of the all-time greats especially pound for pound. His resume of high caliber armwrestlers he beat in his era is amazing. If we had a time machine and brought prime Arsen to the new era I think he would beat everyone in the 105kg division including Ongarbaev, Dadikyan, Prudnik and Toddzilla. Arsen Liliev was an absolutely special athlete

    why people had to mention that denis fought pushkar before losing to arsen, or that he fought chaffee before losing to pushkar in 2014, then we are going to need to talk about that denis fought and underweight with health issues devin in 2018 on the less competitive arm, that most most important opponents that denis faced, he faced them none on their primes (john out of prime, even alexis first time he fought john, brzenk was already 40 years old, and 40 years old back them are not 40 years old now with stem cells and shit) chaffe was not in his prime, he sais he was in his prime against levan, so, denis struggled against a weaker version of dave, devons prime started when he showed up with 300 pounds against michael todd, and most of them if not all of them were way lighter than him, even on devon vs denis last match that devon won 5-0, that was a heavier devon than denis ever faced and the smallest denis that devon ever faced, denis was still a lot heavier than devon.
