Same with Hafthor Bjornsson. I would love to see him trying armwrestling.

@@kirk1567 brian is beast about grip strength

There's a lot of layers to this entire situation, this comment is 🔥.

Brian could not beat Levin #1, and #2 brain is use to the big bucks from what he's doing now. There isn't any $ or fame or fortune to be made in Arm Wrestling, so I'm sure he's not going to waste 3-4 years training for something that isn't financially rewarding.

@@metaldetectingoutlaw8389 there are sponsors for arm wrestling and money to be made. these men are making money from it plus he already would still be contracted. Its not a matter of money which brian already has. it is a matter of training and the result of said training and his max potential.

After a good year he’d compete

He’s way older than Levan and no heavier. Levan being shorter while being the same weight will naturally make him stronger assuming all things are equal. Add Levan’s experience and Shaw has no chance.

@@Aunt_Devan Levan's body struggles to be as large as it is, his breathing is always labored and he damn near went into cardiac arrest in his match with ermes. The dude was 165 lbs at one point lmao. Brain on the other hand, he's been a big man all his life. And he walks around comfortably at his bodyweight. Not to mention the difference in leverage as well. I also disagree with age being a factor. Brain is still blowing competitive strongmen out of the water at his age and no longer training strongman. And he was still in the top 3 (if i remember correctly) last year at the WSM. Armwrestling has a ton of longevity and with brain being so large and so strong naturally, i think he'll be a threat to levan in a couple of years of serious training

​@@Aunt_Devan brian is 30lbs heavier. And even pound to pound stronger than levan in most of the category. Just give him a few years and levan will start sweating

@@Nohomo509 Brian can’t even do pullups like Levan. Strongman strength is not the same as arm wrestling strength. Brian will never have the same arm strength as Levan. Brian won’t even make it to Levan. The smaller guys will fodderize Brian 😂

Is all about drive, l don't belive that Brian hawe such drive. For Levan was do or die when he start armwrestling.

yes, but alex is still only 33, with 5 years in the sport. By the time Shaw has 5 years he will be 46 and once he starts to be ready for elite level, he will be near 50. Age will be his enemy in this case

@@Sumppa Roids don't age, look Toddzilla

He doesn’t have potential to ever beat levan

@@Sumppacool. Todd Hutchings was a mechanical engineer who started armwrestling at 39 and became world class in a few years, and is still getting better. Same with Tim Bresnan. Brian shaw is the worlds largest human ever, you’d be dumb to think that he wouldn’t become world class in a few years if he trained

he's not beating levan ... ever.

@@RunForPeace-hk1cuwell he’s on trt and is prioritizing his health. By the time Larry is great at armwrestling Levan will have either downsized or retired

We're probably going to have to wait for his official retirement from strongman before we get any content like that.

Devon is collaborating with Brian now😮

Thanks! It took a good while to find an image of Levan that would work.

65yrs

@@smoker420lasince we're at it why not just say 69

@@barkpeterbark he'll be 65 in 4 years lmfao

@@smoker420la yeah nah Shaw was born in 1982. I'm saying 2 to 4 years, not 24 years

i think thats something a lot of people look over. Levan struggles to be as large as he is, most of his weight gain and size isn't natural, considering he was half the size he is now just a few years ago is a dead giveaway he's just a hyper responder to PEDs. On the other hand I don't think Brain has been 165 lbs since middle school lmao. He's always been a big man naturally and I think that's where he has way more potential than levan. Brian is currently *trying* to slim down and he's still 400 lbs. At his peak he was what... 470? Point is, brain can absolutely start knocking on levans door in a few years of serious training, we're talking about one of if not the strongest human to ever walk the earth. Hell even at his current age he can destroy a lot of professional strongmen

No it would take the average guy a few years. Brian Shaw is different. He already has elite strength. If he trained for a year he would be elite

@@miketurner1908 lol what? It would take the average guy a decade to be an elite armwrestler. And it would definitely take years for Shaw as well.

@@Joe-mp4nw no it wouldn’t he already has the strongest grip in the world and can cheat curl over 300lbs for reps. If he trained his technique for a year he would be elite. They call Larry wheels elite after arm wrestling for a year.

@@Joe-mp4nw it would take a decade to start from scratch Brian Shaw just lacks technique

@@miketurner1908 who was calling Larry elite after training for a year? I also don’t know what you mean by Elite. I’m thinking like top 30, and no way he gets there in a year.

It's really not. Elbow flexion, wrist flexion, pronation and rising are the most important.

But the thing about devon is, he's not considered one of the real power guys. Whether that was his strongest ever or not.. still no where near Dave chaffee or cyplenkovs power. Devon is just way more crafty and will fight forever and bleed the guy. That's what makes him better than Brian. I think if Brian had his pronator and rise very strong, he's already stronger than devon.

Agree on everything but the last part. Tim Bresnan and Todd Hutchings also started armwrestling late in their life. Tim was a serious threat at the top level until just a couple years ago and Todd absolutely wrecks everyone in his weight class as long as he can get his hook set.

@@d_no_allyn_86 Devon definitely had better rising than Cyplenkov and Chaffee. He most likely had better pronation than Chaffee, not sure about Denis. His back pressure sticking point was also stronger than Daves, maybe even stronger than Denis'. His side pressure was considerably weaker than both. You can not be top 3 in the world without having incredible strength. Devon is incredibly strong, Brian cannot get to that level of strength, ON THE TABLE, in 3-5 years span. Brian may be able to lift more on rising or pronation than Devon in 5 years, but on the table Devon uses 99%+ of that strength, while Brian would use more like 70-90% of that, thus resulting in a huge power difference.

@@d_no_allyn_86 this is pure delusion and most importantly proof that you don't know what armwrestling really is. Any lightweight champ would be more of a challenge than Brian shaw.

@@d_no_allyn_86 damn dude. I can see you have never arm wrestled lol. Arm wrestling is way more than people makes it look by lifting heavy weights. You can beat 200% stronger opponent by just moving him 1cm to the direction where he loses his angle of power. If only 3 angles was needed to be the best (cup, rise, pronation) then this could just be strength sport for those 3 lifts.

That video was hilarious!

About time too. Being around Eddie must be annoying af.

Yea larry is unconsistent athlete ever, i mean what his purpose rn, dude a bodybuilder, powelifter, now armwrestler? Larry eat so much juice that himself become a loser

@@kakaraditya4705 loser? Bro is a millionaire powerlifting what are you!

@@brianbrannanHVACTech LMAO, he is? Holy shit, talk about overrated. 🤣

the fact noon has really gave him a challenge gives you a pretty clear idea of how strong he is. strong enough to be better then anyone else on the table.

@@buschleaguers75 he was almost pinned by ermes before the ref stopped the rounds towards the end of the match. Levan wasn’t able to continue and ermes had a lot more gas to use.

Yeah an untrained Thor and Brian. Nobody is suggesting he could beat him now. But how about after a couple years of training all while Levan may be coming down from his peak by then.

Bro look who's taking! That channel growth is amazing

@@SecondThoughtsBand haha thanks brother, you're next!!

His last title run before retiring. He could focus on arm wrestling if he wanted to.

But hafthor had no technical experience.

lmao Levan went from being normal size to huge in a few years time. Brian would destroy him.
