John was almost two decade past his prime when he faced Chaffee. That's anything but Prime John, he just gassed out after Denis fight, that's why John can beat him
@@Narragorthif that was true then John wouldn’t be relevant today, yes the level in every weight class has got much deeper but there were the freaks back then that would still be freaks today
@@savagearmsarmwrestling8385 It is 100% true... He has lost 6 out of his last 8 matches, in most of then he couldn't even get a single pin. I know he's 60 something years old, and he's the biggest legend of the sport, but let's be honest, he's still good, but he isn't relevant at the top at all.
@@savagearmsarmwrestling8385 2/8, and he didn't get a single pin in 4 of those matches. It doesnt matter if you AW for 50 years or 2 days, you can't argue against facts, he's losing almost every match nowadays... Your question makes no sense.
Too soon for jumping to conclusion because few words. Anyway, he is young guy. On every single secondary school children learn english. Also like a truck driver he should speak English.
@@AdamLighter1are you this much of a dumb or delusional ? You can't have information on things without playing. Its called analysis !! And most of the analysis get wrong, feats alone is not going to win the matches. If watching alone gonna change the result then most of the people should watch rather than playing themself
one false: Prime Cyplevkov's right hand defeats Devon's right hand, as well as all the armwrestlers. For example 2014 a1 russian open denis versus arsen liliev
The thing about John is that he's been beating guys who are much bigger and heavier than he is throughout his career. He is one of the few athletes who have competed around the world and won in multiple different weight classes. The man is humble, classy, competes straight, and never resorts to insults, tactical cheating, or mind games. Yes, he's lost quite a few matches, but the sheer dominance he's shown for over 40 years is something no one else has been able to replicate. He may not be the most popular, and there are those who are better ambassadors for the sport, but one undeniable fact is that he is universally regarded by the majority of arm wrestlers as the GOAT. Many of today's top guys respect and look up to him in this sport. Longevity and status define his position as the GOAT in this sport. But yes, Levan of today would beat John. Even now at his age, John is still a beast and only loses to the top elites. Even so, it's not easy for them to win against John. Pound for pound, prime John was an absolute force. Even Devon who has pulled with today's elites said, and I quote, in a live video on Travis's channel a few months ago: *"John in his prime was on another level. He would kill a lot of today's top guys. People have no idea how good he really was. Anyone who has actually felt and competed against him in his prime will agree with me."*
Hey Zenzuu, Thank you so much for this wonderful, detailed, comprehensive, and respectful response! John then Devon are the reasons why I watch Armwrestling! I only started watching maybe mid 2015 then onwards til now and seeing John do these amazing achievements and who he is as a person on and off the table is awesome and beautiful. Well said and agree with you with everything you mentioned. John paved the way so many, humbly and gracefully. We are all so grateful what he had done and continues to do. All in all let’s all “Love Armwrestling” as a Community and with unity! 💪🥰💖🙏✌️👍🙌🌈
for one match yes, but if they pull a 40 round match, first to 21, john will win, even today. i think. for sure in his prime, 100%. so what im saying is John is competitive for 40 years no way Levan will be.
@dexio8601 I don't know. He looked much thinner against Levan (second match). If he stayed against Levan at the same shape as Denis +10KG, he would've been a beast.
I think prime and best is different for Devon. Devon was likely in his prime in his 30s, but he wasn't at his best yet. Devon is at his best now, or he has been at his best the last couple years.
Devon has said he is the strongest he has ever been recently, he was beating super heavy weights.. but Devon doesn't like to put on or maintain a ton of weight..
I actually think that prime Devon would beat prime Brzenk in a best of 7 match, but it would be very close in a best of 3 match. But I think Dev would lose to prime Cyplenkov. Prime Cyplenkov was juiced, so no wonder. Devon was always a better armwrestler than him, but the strength gap would be too much in my opinion.
Ou yes bc we all know every humans prime years are late 40s and early 50s when they are natural. Yes this makes most sense. Thank god!! I just turned 30 and knowing i have 20 years until my prime makes me smile.
U can't be world champion, even forget about it, top 10 in the world without taking any external drugs, either its Prime John or Prime Devon. The amount and types of drugs may differ as per the time
It’s not like he curled 170 kgs for bicep and hand insane arm power (considering that Devon’s arm power is equivalent to a middleweight puller), but no we’re just fanboys
@@shomori9642sure, 70+ kg on back pressure while having a long forearm is a middleweight standard. Not to mention when he was not training inside he beat Genadi in a hook a few times.
Yes, and the backpressure part is what does the big difference, when he has some hand then he goes though your arm and then he goes for the press. It would be a bad day for Denis if he just tries to hold Ermes, unless Denis in some magical way gets Ermes into a hook.
Except Levan overall strength wise none of them have surpassed prime Denis. I don’t understand why back then arm wrestlers were not using flop and shoulder press as much as they are right now. I think arm wrestlers have become quite technical right now strength doesn’t matter anymore.
Prime John is not even close to Prime Devon. Prime Devon is his superheavyweight version that faced Levan for a 2nd time after he demolished Georgi Tsvetkov, Denis Cyplenkov and Ermes Gasparini. Prime Cyplenkov vs Prime version of Devon would be a close 50/50 fight right-handed i think. Left-handed prime cyplenkov would still be too strong.
Prime John is John 2006 where he went up in weight up to around 115 kg and easily beat everyone. John even beat Denis in 2008 zloty tur after Denis trained as hard as he ever did at that point with Voevoda, John was only 95 kg that event. Devon was only 120 kg when he faced Levan the 2nd time, hardly a significant super heavy weight.
@@lumina1re329he struggled with Taras Ivakin just a year ago. He soon lost to Devon(I know he was injured but still), he had a little bit of a hard time in a hook with Farit. Also about Denis. Denis said that he twice f up with his prep. (Both times there were too much water retention because of which he got a lot of pump. His peak was way later than even in 2010(when he finally brought normal conditions for John in Zloty))
With all due respect to John, but he has no chance against the above. it was destroyed by the same Devon in 2008. He also lost to Voevoda in 2004 and 2007.@@lumina1re329
@@andreyvolkov3117Denis just said that his peak was around 2013/14, and it is visible too, he didn't struggled with anyone in 2013 and 2014, yea there was Dave but Dave couldn't pin Denis even having such a huge access of side pressure as Denis grips very low. Denis was basically pinning everyone by dad moving them, I would give an example, u can go and search Arsen vs Richard Lupkes, where Arsen defeated Richard and we all know how Denis murdered Arsen's arm. So I think there is no way Prime Denis will not be fav. against Prime Devon, he is heavier too, he can defeat Prime Devon, but there will be literal 50/50 with Ermes (Due to being both stylistically diff. pullers) and Levan.
I can't belive these kind of comments get likes. Yes, Denis is a legend of our sport, one of the greatest. But Levan wins prime Denis 100/100 matches. He was not as near as dominant as Levan is right now.
Prime John’s right was a force to be reckoned with! Prime Denis has had his share of losses with the perfect storm. Hypothetically speaking a 115 KG healthy John would’ve been enough for the back of Levan’s right to kiss the pin pad 6 times in a row. PERIOD.
Prime John would have given a better fight than the Canadian for sure. But Levan is not just big and strong like the guys John has faced in the past ( Lupkes, Cleve Dean...), he's also smart and very technical.
@@ArmwrestlingAbode-ys8pq first of all denis wasnt in his prime when he lost to john. He became much stronger in the following years. And i hate to say it but levan would crush prime john with ease. The weight and strength difference is entirely too much
Am I the only one who think these kind of questions are stupid? Its like asking mbappé if he can beat prime zidane or prime ronaldinho. Whats the point? they are one of the best athlete of their era but thats it
We all know prime John isn’t touching prime Devon 😂. Way too much respect for the “goat”. Great for his time, but he’s just not touching these super heavyweight monsters that have spawned a new era of strength and full time commitment to armwrestling now. It’s not the same as it was 20 years ago.
Then why is John 10-1 against Jerry and Jerry beat Genadi? Why did John beat prime Lupkes and old man Lupkes gave hell to Denis? Why did John beat prime Farid and Farid gave hell to Vitaly recently? Why did John pull multiple weight classes and win majority of them over the decades? Why did John beat prime Travis in 2005, and Travis beat a stronger Chaffee in 2016? A weaker Chaffee brought Ermes near the pin pad, was up 2-0 against Morozov, was up 2-0 against Genadi, beat Vitaly in 2022. Prime John would be right near the top today. He’s pound for pound the most impressive puller in history.
@@quiet216 John beat most of his opponents when they were newer to the sport while he already had 20+ years experience. Lupkes beat John as well. Denis didn’t start full time armwrestling until after 2010. John pulled when people were all working full time jobs and not taking the sport seriously like they do now. It’s like saying wilt chamberlin is the greatest ever even though he lacked competition his size and talent level. These guys are able to train full time and this is their jobs now. Devon larrat right now in his prime would absolutely destroy any version of John there ever was…with ease. Respect John for what he was…the best of his time (except when he tries to beat the professional wrestler lol 0-3 against him) but once others started getting experience under their belt they all started beating John. The respect factor is very high for John by these guys because they looked up to him. But it’s also the biggest thing that blinds some of them from the truth. Anyone in the top 10-20 guys is dusting John’s best form. I don’t care if that hurts people’s feelings. The truth is all that matters.
@@PrimeA169 When John got in the sport in the early 80s he was beating the legends back then. He consistently kept on going and never stopped. Denis didn’t start full time armwrestling until after 2010? Sounds like an excuse. He was armwrestling at tournaments way back in 2004 all the way up until 2010. John pulled when people were working full time jobs? John is still working a full time job! He always had. People still trained and went to practice all the time. Have a job isn’t a significant issue in this sport. I’m assuming you weren’t around back then. You just see East vs West and see the depth. There were monsters back in the day as well. It was also majority of tournament arm wrestling back then which is harder than supermatches. John pulled multiple weight categories and won majority of the events over the decades. Also stricter reffing back then too. Thats why you never saw Devon at the best tournaments around the world. This is what I think… best of 7 Prime Devon beats Prime John. Best of 5 50/50. Best of 3 prime John wins. Tournament pull John wins. What you said wasn’t the truth. You’re just ignorant on the subject. You probably watched 25% of John Brzenk matches. His arm wrestling career record is estimated 3100-100 win/loss record. Over 45 years of pulling.
@@quiet216 holy essay I read about 5 lines and I had to stop lol. Sounds like an excuse? Denis was a strongman competitor well known up until 2010 and even then still did that part time. Larry wheels competes in tournaments does that make him a full time committed puller? Sounds like you need to educate yourself before you speak anymore. John isn’t even top 10 of all time. Sorry
@@PrimeA169 lmao I just checked your profile. Your that Michael guy. I remember you. Account created 3 months ago. That says a lot. No point in arguing with you! lol.
I think the problem is always the same and was already debated many times recently, a man of 120 kg can't (and should not be allowed) to fight against a man of 190 kg, this regardless of the strength of each one 😑
Everyone agrees Levan is on another level.. dont know much about the others except for Devon.. devon has the best setup game.. levan is on a different way category of his own.. this guy has the frame to get there.. devon doesnt like to be fat..
Yeah, I have to disagree with Vitaly. No way John would be able to beat Devon that faced Levan. (Unless he can start very fast and get into a hook immediately. Then there's some decent chances)
TH-cam algorithm boosting comment 💪 ... wow, i had to check if this is Vitaly! very good for the sport when more pulllers learn English. we appreciate it 😀
I agree with vitaly and by the way, I am not gasparini fan, but I think he has more potential than he shows today. If gasparini did not get scared, he would Win against larrat. I am sure 😎
Гаспарини никогда бы не потянул пикового Воеводу, там разница в антропометрии колоссальная. Виталя гонит) Денис явно сильнее в прайме Ларата) а Леван сильнее всех без шансов.
Виталий шутит? Праймовый Денис Девона не почувствует, другой уровень силы. Праймовому Денису один достойный соперник - Леван. Также Воевода на пике сильнее названных здесь соперников
Prime Denis struggled multiple people. Chaffee, Pushkar, MMT, Arsen in 2013, maybe some others as well. Prime Levan would smoke Prime Denis, and it wouldn't be particularly close.
@@jayclean5653 Леван с сильным, выносливым соперником, каким являлся Денис на пике, выдохнется и отправится в лучший мир от нехватки кислорода, что наглядно показал Эрмес
Виталя, ты серьезно? Ларрат победил бы пикового Дениса??? То, что ты прижал его в спарринге левой рукой вообще ничего не говорит... ты в той же форме не прижал Курдечу на спаррингах при ТОП8, а его в той форме вообще Онгарбаев сломал! Спарринг и соревнование - гигантская разница, как не тебе это понимать? Если бы ты тогда вышел на соревновательный поединок с Денисом, ты бы ни сантиметра у него не забрал, а сразу у подушки оказался, ровно так же, как и любой формы Ларрат, да и Леван туда же
For now, unfortunately, it seems that match is not going to happen. They are now in 2 different weight catagories and Devon recently has repeated that he doesnt want to be superheavyweight anymore. I only say for now because Devon is bloody loopy so he could eventually change his mind.
Reading these comments has taught me that apparently they don't teach Europeans the difference between the right arm and the left arm. Probably need some educational reform.
Healthy shoulder? Am I forgetting something? He had his injury since he was like 13? Like it's impossible by default. (I'd rather buy into a stuff where people say "roided" John Brzenk)
@@andreyvolkov3117 He did yes. But what I am saying is a hypothetical scenario where John Brzenk discovered stem cells in time and got his shoulder completely healthy. He was already a monster in 2006 with a 95% shoulder. Imagine if he was fully healthy and could add another 5%?
@@viktore69 oh I see where're you going buddy. Yeah for sure he would be better. (Still I think Levan would destroy him 6-0. But juice introduction(I mean like grams of juice not TRT/low-dose cycle that John did) with shoulder fix would've made this match somewhat close(with John not even being close to Levan bodyweight))
@KONO_DEVON_DA Sure and that means he is the reason the sport leveled up and Devon was just recently the peak of the sport in the current year if you don't count Levan himself. There is just no way that prime John takes prime Devon when John was beaten by Devon already in 2008.
Levan rips EVERYONE apart right handed. BUT if John used more drugs, got to 130kg+, and did heavy heavy weights in his young days he would be be like Ermes and be able to stop Levan for a few rounds but will lose in end. I believe John never got close to his actual potential and said he never like training with weights either.
I agree that Levan annihilates everyone but that “if” for John doesn’t really make any sense. John never went to that weight because he didn’t want to and probably couldn’t. Not everyone has the genetics to build that much muscle mass and be that heavy. That’s like saying if Floyd Mayweather is 130 kg he would smash Tyson Fury. It doesn’t work like that.
last question doesn't make much sense. John trained as hard as possible but no more, depending on contemporary opponents. If there was someone like Levan in the past, everyone would have trained harder and become stronger. Look at Devon, how much he improved his sessions, just because of levan. You dont work 8 hours/day if with only 4 you can dominate everyone else.
У прайма Девона нет шансов против прайма Дениса. Денис на пике сильнее и выносливее Левана, которого Эрмес чуть на тот свет не отправил. Воевода на пике здесь также недооценен
@@pedrobile1488 все шансы есть у Дениса. Левана, который был в Дубае против Эрмеса, он бы точно смог одолеть. Он ловил и передерживал Пушкаря на правой в сетке, а тут армфайт с Леваном, где можно быть полностью восстановленным

I like it but will be hard defeat drugs morozov he is denis 2.0, full drugs😂
@@pedrobile1488 yh
I think Levan would've won too but I'd been rooting for Brzenk
You think? 😂😂😂😂

what is wrong with Laletin! Prime Denis vs Prime Devon, winner is Denis
Vitaly just doesn't want to offend Devon)
Prime Devon RH beats Prime Denis. You are just a fan
@@fultheim3580 correct and you're Not a fan of Denis that's why you chose Devon.
@@thegheoHe is a joker
@@fultheim3580Nice joke, we r fans, as if u r an wrestler who competes among top 10 of the world😆
Nice to see Vitality speaking the lingo. One of my favourite arm wrestlers. 💪
Prime cyplenkov doesn't defeat ermes rise, backpressure etch... Now armwrestling level has increased
@@moonknight9979 yup agree
Yes, and the backpressure part is what does the big difference, when he has some hand then he goes though your arm and then he goes for the press.
It would be a bad day for Denis if he just tries to hold Ermes, unless Denis in some magical way gets Ermes into a hook.
Its a very bad match stylistically aswell
You forget about a very important part. Denis is a kingsmover. (Just look at his matches with Andrey Pushkar)
Except Levan overall strength wise none of them have surpassed prime Denis. I don’t understand why back then arm wrestlers were not using flop and shoulder press as much as they are right now. I think arm wrestlers have become quite technical right now strength doesn’t matter anymore.
Engin is back in action! 🔥🔥🔥
Prime John is not even close to Prime Devon. Prime Devon is his superheavyweight version that faced Levan for a 2nd time after he demolished Georgi Tsvetkov, Denis Cyplenkov and Ermes Gasparini.
Prime Cyplenkov vs Prime version of Devon would be a close 50/50 fight right-handed i think.
Left-handed prime cyplenkov would still be too strong.
Prime John is John 2006 where he went up in weight up to around 115 kg and easily beat everyone. John even beat Denis in 2008 zloty tur after Denis trained as hard as he ever did at that point with Voevoda, John was only 95 kg that event. Devon was only 120 kg when he faced Levan the 2nd time, hardly a significant super heavy weight.
@@lumina1re329he struggled with Taras Ivakin just a year ago. He soon lost to Devon(I know he was injured but still), he had a little bit of a hard time in a hook with Farit. Also about Denis. Denis said that he twice f up with his prep. (Both times there were too much water retention because of which he got a lot of pump. His peak was way later than even in 2010(when he finally brought normal conditions for John in Zloty))
With all due respect to John, but he has no chance against the above. it was destroyed by the same Devon in 2008. He also lost to Voevoda in 2004 and 2007.@@lumina1re329
@@andreyvolkov3117Denis just said that his peak was around 2013/14, and it is visible too, he didn't struggled with anyone in 2013 and 2014, yea there was Dave but Dave couldn't pin Denis even having such a huge access of side pressure as Denis grips very low. Denis was basically pinning everyone by dad moving them, I would give an example, u can go and search Arsen vs Richard Lupkes, where Arsen defeated Richard and we all know how Denis murdered Arsen's arm. So I think there is no way Prime Denis will not be fav. against Prime Devon, he is heavier too, he can defeat Prime Devon, but there will be literal 50/50 with Ermes (Due to being both stylistically diff. pullers) and Levan.
@@lumina1re329Prime John could never have stopped Levan in the center.
John was made for armwrestling! His bone structure, ligaments and tendon strength, hand thickness and thumb size! Prime John destroyed everyone!
Prime Denis >>>
Lost 2 rounds to Michael Todd in 2016 and won by pushing Todd's elbow off the pad and getting him foul
@@user-bd7id1qx5bThat was not his prime.
@@user-bd7id1qx5b rules1: dont argue with denis prime fanboys in the comment. They would kill you bruh😂
I can't belive these kind of comments get likes. Yes, Denis is a legend of our sport, one of the greatest. But Levan wins prime Denis 100/100 matches. He was not as near as dominant as Levan is right now.
Prime? Cant beat dave chaffe easily huh?😂

Is a joke? Easy win Levan
prime dennis will rip apart prime devon anyday...recency bias here
Travis should be mentioned here
When you think, you almost finished the game, appears Levan the finall boss
Prime Denis will destroy prime Devon , no doubt.
Yes
John is the P4P GOAT and the GOAT.
Prime John’s right was a force to be reckoned with! Prime Denis has had his share of losses with the perfect storm. Hypothetically speaking a 115 KG healthy John would’ve been enough for the back of Levan’s right to kiss the pin pad 6 times in a row. PERIOD.
stfu bro levan would rip john apart easily
Another fanboys of prime john alexey denis comment
Prime John would have given a better fight than the Canadian for sure. But Levan is not just big and strong like the guys John has faced in the past ( Lupkes, Cleve Dean...), he's also smart and very technical.
@@ArmwrestlingAbode-ys8pq first of all denis wasnt in his prime when he lost to john. He became much stronger in the following years. And i hate to say it but levan would crush prime john with ease. The weight and strength difference is entirely too much
@@Posttoproll7And who is saying this? A slave of Konkreet who is not even an armwrestler, lmfao 😂
Странно что Виталик сказал что Пиковый Денис на правой уступил бы пиковому Ларрату. Переехал бы он его как танк
Но сам Виталик считает себя, я думаю, сильнее праймового Ларратта. А тогда уж и Дениса тоже) Это эго)
You gotta love Vitaly even if you disagree with the answers. He gave us his honest opinions and I think he's not being biased
Prime Voevoda would destroy everyone except Levan
Prime voevoda isn’t top 10 today.
@@quiet216 Prime Voevoda, prime
So basically in all time peak it goes Levan > Brzenk > Devon > Cyplenkov
Prime Puskar win all ...
except denis & levan probably
Am I the only one who think these kind of questions are stupid? Its like asking mbappé if he can beat prime zidane or prime ronaldinho. Whats the point? they are one of the best athlete of their era but thats it
pound for pound John far surpassed Levan. But in direct confrontation, Levan is way too big
"Gasparini very strong."
- Vitaly Laletin 2024
We all know prime John isn’t touching prime Devon 😂.
Way too much respect for the “goat”.
Great for his time, but he’s just not touching these super heavyweight monsters that have spawned a new era of strength and full time commitment to armwrestling now. It’s not the same as it was 20 years ago.
Then why is John 10-1 against Jerry and Jerry beat Genadi? Why did John beat prime Lupkes and old man Lupkes gave hell to Denis? Why did John beat prime Farid and Farid gave hell to Vitaly recently? Why did John pull multiple weight classes and win majority of them over the decades? Why did John beat prime Travis in 2005, and Travis beat a stronger Chaffee in 2016? A weaker Chaffee brought Ermes near the pin pad, was up 2-0 against Morozov, was up 2-0 against Genadi, beat Vitaly in 2022. Prime John would be right near the top today. He’s pound for pound the most impressive puller in history.
@@quiet216 John beat most of his opponents when they were newer to the sport while he already had 20+ years experience. Lupkes beat John as well.
Denis didn’t start full time armwrestling until after 2010.
John pulled when people were all working full time jobs and not taking the sport seriously like they do now.
It’s like saying wilt chamberlin is the greatest ever even though he lacked competition his size and talent level.
These guys are able to train full time and this is their jobs now.
Devon larrat right now in his prime would absolutely destroy any version of John there ever was…with ease.
Respect John for what he was…the best of his time (except when he tries to beat the professional wrestler lol 0-3 against him) but once others started getting experience under their belt they all started beating John.
The respect factor is very high for John by these guys because they looked up to him. But it’s also the biggest thing that blinds some of them from the truth. Anyone in the top 10-20 guys is dusting John’s best form.
I don’t care if that hurts people’s feelings. The truth is all that matters.
@@PrimeA169 When John got in the sport in the early 80s he was beating the legends back then. He consistently kept on going and never stopped.
Denis didn’t start full time armwrestling until after 2010? Sounds like an excuse. He was armwrestling at tournaments way back in 2004 all the way up until 2010.
John pulled when people were working full time jobs? John is still working a full time job! He always had. People still trained and went to practice all the time. Have a job isn’t a significant issue in this sport.
I’m assuming you weren’t around back then. You just see East vs West and see the depth. There were monsters back in the day as well. It was also majority of tournament arm wrestling back then which is harder than supermatches. John pulled multiple weight categories and won majority of the events over the decades. Also stricter reffing back then too. Thats why you never saw Devon at the best tournaments around the world. This is what I think… best of 7 Prime Devon beats Prime John. Best of 5 50/50. Best of 3 prime John wins. Tournament pull John wins. What you said wasn’t the truth. You’re just ignorant on the subject. You probably watched 25% of John Brzenk matches. His arm wrestling career record is estimated 3100-100 win/loss record. Over 45 years of pulling.
@@quiet216 holy essay I read about 5 lines and I had to stop lol.
Sounds like an excuse? Denis was a strongman competitor well known up until 2010 and even then still did that part time. Larry wheels competes in tournaments does that make him a full time committed puller?
Sounds like you need to educate yourself before you speak anymore.
John isn’t even top 10 of all time. Sorry
@@PrimeA169 lmao I just checked your profile. Your that Michael guy. I remember you. Account created 3 months ago. That says a lot. No point in arguing with you! lol.
I think the problem is always the same and was already debated many times recently, a man of 120 kg can't (and should not be allowed) to fight against a man of 190 kg, this regardless of the strength of each one 😑
lol even Vitaly think that prime Denis wouldn't be the strongest on the right, but his fanboys keep insisting that. So sad
Ну, Денис побеждал топов на правой в том числе - Джон брзенк, пушкарь, Чаффи и другие
and what to be sad about? many fans think that their athlete is the best
I'm a Big fan John brzenk, but Levan whatever he's taking beats everyone ever.
Prime left hand Laletin best in history
Prime Gasparini has nothing to do with Pushkar,is current Gasparini who can beat him.
Ur comment is a grammatical disaster bro.
@@Lunarpollo5622 And your orthographical...
LEVAN
👑👑👑
Thanks for these Engin.
МИР ЕЩЕ НЕ ВИДЕЛ ТАКОГО МОНСТРА КАК ЛЕВАН ОН ВСЕХ ПОБЕЖДАЕТ
Prime John would get absolutely destroyed. Levan has the ultimate weight advantage
Everyone agrees Levan is on another level.. dont know much about the others except for Devon.. devon has the best setup game.. levan is on a different way category of his own.. this guy has the frame to get there.. devon doesnt like to be fat..
Yeah, I have to disagree with Vitaly. No way John would be able to beat Devon that faced Levan. (Unless he can start very fast and get into a hook immediately. Then there's some decent chances)
Good picks from Vitaly!
John wasn’t even in his prime when he beat Prime Denis. He had his shoulder injury then.
A true prime John would beat Levan, it would be close though
Basically...
Q: "Prime Levan or..."
A: "LEVAN!!!"
TH-cam algorithm boosting comment 💪 ... wow, i had to check if this is Vitaly! very good for the sport when more pulllers learn English. we appreciate it 😀
Prime Denis vs Prime Devon?DENIS!!!!!All life
I agree with vitaly and by the way, I am not gasparini fan, but I think he has more potential than he shows today.
If gasparini did not get scared, he would Win against larrat. I am sure 😎
I dont think Vitaliy understood what prime meant. It sounded like he thought it meant their current shape.
Yeah I guess
he wouldn't have said John Brzenk instead of Devon then😂
Гаспарини никогда бы не потянул пикового Воеводу, там разница в антропометрии колоссальная. Виталя гонит) Денис явно сильнее в прайме Ларата) а Леван сильнее всех без шансов.
Prime Voevoda would smash prime Gasparini.
Is Prime Voevoda stronger in litterally any movement? Outside of maybe sidepressure I dont think so
@@leonardotheuseless4188 Common strength and hook.
I believe we all know the answer we just don't wanna admit it
Виталий шутит? Праймовый Денис Девона не почувствует, другой уровень силы. Праймовому Денису один достойный соперник - Леван. Также Воевода на пике сильнее названных здесь соперников
Prime Denis struggled multiple people. Chaffee, Pushkar, MMT, Arsen in 2013, maybe some others as well. Prime Levan would smoke Prime Denis, and it wouldn't be particularly close.
@@jayclean5653 Леван с сильным, выносливым соперником, каким являлся Денис на пике, выдохнется и отправится в лучший мир от нехватки кислорода, что наглядно показал Эрмес
Мда… конечно Виталий разочаровал.. праймовый Денис не почувствует Ларата, такая же ситуация будет как на левой руке, либо как Леван на правой
Виталя, ты серьезно? Ларрат победил бы пикового Дениса??? То, что ты прижал его в спарринге левой рукой вообще ничего не говорит... ты в той же форме не прижал Курдечу на спаррингах при ТОП8, а его в той форме вообще Онгарбаев сломал! Спарринг и соревнование - гигантская разница, как не тебе это понимать? Если бы ты тогда вышел на соревновательный поединок с Денисом, ты бы ни сантиметра у него не забрал, а сразу у подушки оказался, ровно так же, как и любой формы Ларрат, да и Леван туда же
Да, я отчасти разочаровался в нём. В принципе, его огромное эго и так было видно..
Correct on all except Dennis vs devon
good engin, why havent we had a vitally v devon match yet ?
For now, unfortunately, it seems that match is not going to happen. They are now in 2 different weight catagories and Devon recently has repeated that he doesnt want to be superheavyweight anymore. I only say for now because Devon is bloody loopy so he could eventually change his mind.
I love Vitaly he's one of my favorite armwrestlers
1:24
1:33
I disagree.
Do more like this to all athletes engin.. 😊 its so entertaining to watch❤
Good luck Vitaly!
Engin you released from hospital???
Reading these comments has taught me that apparently they don't teach Europeans the difference between the right arm and the left arm. Probably need some educational reform.
Sorry not gonna listen to someone who can't read and has inches and pounds as their metric system.
Maybe the only one I disagree with is prime Devon vs prime John, and maybe prime Ermes vs prime Denis.
2024 Devon would smash prime John. That's like saying Hendrix could outplay Steve Vai. In no measurable metric is that the case.
2006 John Brzenk with 100% healthy shoulder would win beat Everyone except Levan.
He would lose 4-2 to Levan but still be the closest to him.
Healthy shoulder? Am I forgetting something? He had his injury since he was like 13? Like it's impossible by default. (I'd rather buy into a stuff where people say "roided" John Brzenk)
@@andreyvolkov3117 His shoulder have never been 100%. But didn’t start to really bother untill 2010.
@@viktore69 yeah I remember that. Didn't he also do shoulder surgery in 2010? (And because of that made it even worse)
@@andreyvolkov3117 He did yes. But what I am saying is a hypothetical scenario where John Brzenk discovered stem cells in time and got his shoulder completely healthy. He was already a monster in 2006 with a 95% shoulder. Imagine if he was fully healthy and could add another 5%?
@@viktore69 oh I see where're you going buddy. Yeah for sure he would be better. (Still I think Levan would destroy him 6-0. But juice introduction(I mean like grams of juice not TRT/low-dose cycle that John did) with shoulder fix would've made this match somewhat close(with John not even being close to Levan bodyweight))
Need 2 john primes to give a fight to prime Levan😂
Prime Dev takes prime John
@KONO_DEVON_DA The level is just not the same in 2006 and 2023/24
@KONO_DEVON_DA Current? No. The one that faced Levan in 2024? Absolutely.
@KONO_DEVON_DA Sure and that means he is the reason the sport leveled up and Devon was just recently the peak of the sport in the current year if you don't count Levan himself. There is just no way that prime John takes prime Devon when John was beaten by Devon already in 2008.
Debatable.
Vitaly Excellent. Love this guy
It's because Denis was very humble... Is it the reward vitally 😢
Prime Bezenk beat Monsters even bigger as Levan. I would go for Bezenk.
Vitaly didn't watch prime denis video 😂
Levan rips EVERYONE apart right handed. BUT if John used more drugs, got to 130kg+, and did heavy heavy weights in his young days he would be be like Ermes and be able to stop Levan for a few rounds but will lose in end. I believe John never got close to his actual potential and said he never like training with weights either.
I agree that Levan annihilates everyone but that “if” for John doesn’t really make any sense. John never went to that weight because he didn’t want to and probably couldn’t. Not everyone has the genetics to build that much muscle mass and be that heavy. That’s like saying if Floyd Mayweather is 130 kg he would smash Tyson Fury. It doesn’t work like that.
We talk about pound for pound not what ifs and john literally eviscerates in pound to pound.
last question doesn't make much sense. John trained as hard as possible but no more, depending on contemporary opponents. If there was someone like Levan in the past, everyone would have trained harder and become stronger. Look at Devon, how much he improved his sessions, just because of levan. You dont work 8 hours/day if with only 4 you can dominate everyone else.
agreed with all answers, 50-50 ermes and denis
У прайма Девона нет шансов против прайма Дениса. Денис на пике сильнее и выносливее Левана, которого Эрмес чуть на тот свет не отправил. Воевода на пике здесь также недооценен
Stop drink, prime denis have 0 chances with prime levan, 0😂, you must be rus to say that😂
@@pedrobile1488 все шансы есть у Дениса. Левана, который был в Дубае против Эрмеса, он бы точно смог одолеть. Он ловил и передерживал Пушкаря на правой в сетке, а тут армфайт с Леваном, где можно быть полностью восстановленным
