I miss this man so much. I've seen pictures of him when he was pretty much a heavy lightweight. It's insane how much devotion he's put into strength. My father has met him and real life and he says he is a walking mountain. He's never seen shoulders so wide and huge in his life and he's never seen triceps so well developed.
He came out of retirement in his 50s, went toe to toe against prime Cyplenkov, and almost won. Can't even begin to imagine how badass he was in his prime!

He was fucking nearly unbeatable. The best of the best at the time couldn't beat him. He was 2nd in the world. Essentially Levan now. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he comes right back in and becomes as strong as somebody like some of the young superheavyweights.

What make Richard so impressive is that he isn't a technical master or anything, doesn't slip or try to win by kings move, or tire you out he just grabs your hand and pushes like old school. There are very few that do that these days as it's becoming a tactical sport but it's why all professional arm wresters respect him immensely they know he is a beast and very difficult to beat if you play him at his game. When Devon beat him Devon used his technical prowess to do so admittedly because it would be daft nit to against someone so powerful. Lupkes coming back is great for the sport
Best arm-wrestling style of all. Doesn't go under the table ( worst of all styles! ), doesn't stall, doesn't argue, doesn't slip out on purpose. Just straight on arm-wrestling. Power/Strength and technique. Awesome.
It is insane to be 300+ pounds of lean muscle with such low body fat and vascularity. Not even IFBB Pro bodybuilders who have only 1 goal, can be that big and lean at 60+ years old, most of them shrink after 45-50 years old. I am still wondering about his steroid cycle and in what shape are his internal organs after so many decades of steroid usage. Guy has incredible genetics for strength, muscle mass and longevity with steroids usage...insane.

I want to see a fight between Richard and John. The best way to value these veterans is by allowing them to fight in the same age range or nearly.
Richard is older i think and john used to beat him all day in the 2000s
The fight gave to Denis in this age is incredible
Why is no one talking about Gary Goodridge. The man who beat Brenzk in his prime.
