    Dave took on all the European super heavyweights .. Cyplenkov, Trubin, Levan, Laletin, Kurdecha, Genadi, Ermes, Morozov, Revaz ... never avoided anyone. Beast! 💪💪

    Dave is the pillar of armwrestling. No bullshit. No trash talk. No excuses. Pulls anyone at anytime (not just people he thinks he can beat during a roid peak like a lot of them do) Just an all around good guy like most introverts.
    Anyone that talks any amount of disrespect towards Dave immediately outs themselves as an idiot. Let's go Dave Chaffee!

    Dave is still a force to be reckoned with by any standard. Devon is just a different type of athlete, as he clearly dedicates nearly 100% of his effort into the sport, where athlete's such as Dave have a full time job. Nevertheless, a great video my friend, shalom.

    I love me some Dave Chaffee and I think it shows in this episode. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed researching and making it.

    Dave has a clean brute force which is very special. These days, it does make a difference between professional AWs who can commit full-time and those doing it after their main work, and also how many PEDs a competitor takes etc. The AW field is changing.

    • @armhistorian

    Dave, perhaps to his own detriment, took on all comers at the table! Despite his injuries and frequently taking matches against superior opponents, Dave demonstrated his power and strength! 💪

    • @armhistorian
      @armhistorian  ปีที่แล้ว

      Indeed. If Dave decides to return, I'd love for him to take a little longer breaks between matches.

  • @mikelegros2467
    @mikelegros2467 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I think he should fight MMT. Both have been on a slide lately and Dave would probably not be the favorite in that matchup but I'm not ready to see him retire. Maybe vs Matt Mask.

    Such a shame that Dave has accrued enough losses to warrant a rise and fall video. I really hope that whatever is happening with Dave behind closed doors gets remedied, he still has years left in him yet and the West is now relying on Devon and Jerry to stop the European open heavy weight pullers from totally destroying us. Gotta love Dave. At least we get an AH video from it, that's a decent consolation for sure! Cheers, MB 💪

    • @armhistorian
      @armhistorian  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I get what you're saying, Muscle! I don't think Dave's career would be done if he decides to stay in the sport. He still possesses enormous strength and I feel like he's only just recently getting really precise with his movements on the table.
      I hope if he decides to keep armwrestling, he takes a little more of a break between matches and works on his mental fortitude.

    I think Dave wasn’t physically prepared for Revaz, and wasn’t mentally prepared for Devon due to the mind games (the little he says should be taken at face value).
    I expect he will be back on form to demolish Tsonev.
