Yep, really humble considering he's the greatest of all time and probably the most dominant athlete in his given sport and has been for decades. Only a handful of people can say they beat him (right handed) but those only happened when he was in his mid to late 40's. He won his first world championship at 18 in 1983.

Check out the video interview of him called "End Game," which is like a continuation of this, 6 years later.

@@tidefanyankee2428 and the fact that he didn't even train like crazy and wasn't juiced like many of the current athletes makes it even more impressive. I explored Armwrestling through to Devon Larrat, but man, John Brzenk is the definitively GOAT!

@@mikehartwich1946 I agree. If anyone ever makes a list of the greatest athletes of all time his name deserves to be on it with people like Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt etc....

Jason Kim I would buy that in a heart beat!! This man is sooooo inspirational

Hi Jason Kim, it's me, John Brzenk. This is my fake account so nobody stalks me, so don't tell anyone. Okay I'll think about writing a biography about myself. I'm a little short on money so if you want to send me a few thousand dollars to get my book started I can start as soon as you send me some money. So just send me your checking account number and your debit card # and pin number and I'll go to the bank first thing in the morning. Thanks!🤑

+TheSeattlegreen No no .... Don't listen to this Charlatan Jason.!! He is absolutely NOT the real John Brzenk , and under No Circumstance should you divulge personal info or send ANY money to this Shyster. Trust me .... I would know ( because I'M John Brzenk )😏 Now with that cleared up I was thinking .... maybe giving Me ur personal bank info and pin number etc , I will make sure to 'Reimburse You' for the entire amt. . 😉 Anything for my #1 fan 💪... stay smart , stay strong.

Will Stuart Lol 😆😆

@@willstuart4504 No screw you. I'm the real John Brzenk.

@@infozone4843 just like reserved and laid back

@@ToothPasteLOL after 3 years you are mentioning me 😄🤣

I wish more athletes were like him.

Its been 8 years and john is still at the top

lol you're funny bro. haha

Sexymachinist Dude! he would totally do that, just to troll Brzenk.

Sexymachinist hahahaha

lol i dont like travis way to proud

Sexymachinist lol definitely travis

The Last Emperor What do u mean . Everyone knows how to lose 😂😂😂 just leave ur hand and u will

95

That's not true he lost to Gary Goodridge. Do your research.

That's still not unbeatable

I know this is a old comment but John was undefeated in his "OWN" weight class.

Yakir Dorani you sound like a hater

Yakir Dorani and he didn’t loose to Gary, the ref called the match without johns hand touching the pad, do your research

me too :D

Ahahahahahahaha

wiz karipas LOL...Sheeeeet!

moscar9128 Just say you agree, man.

I've never seen an arm wrestler wearing glasses.....lol You would think he could afford wearing eye contacts. He would look much better...just saying....

raymond ferland I'm pretty sure John himself would back me up on this, He gives no fuck what you do! Don't give a fuck about what he does or wears.

jheetman yup...

I didn't think you hung around with people who have such a foul mouth MrLisztian Are these your true colors? Disappointed.

vaginas get offended by words

What about nadal at tennis?

GARY Gwin that look he gave to the crowd was glorifying!

Probably my favorite match I've watched.

Louis Cyphre

Iron Eng They might be Travis,Denis and Matt hahaha jus trolling

Now 7.. 🤔🤔

@@alanmalsawmtluanga4233 Lol no . They are larrat,travis,denis 😂

I have noticed a lot of people from(I believe)eastern decent calling people named John..Jhon...is Jhon how you spell John where you live? Or just a typo?

Euph interesting

his thumbs weigh over 2 lbs. but he's also the GOAT.

Rick Pistone Yes they did. Rick even beat him one time. But John beat him several times.

They arm wrestled each other in the over the top tournament and I couple others I believe. To find it look up Richard lupkes over the top interview. There's two parts.

Sam Winchester There is even a Video on KZfaq! Zumwalt beat Brzenk in an Over the Top Qualifier.

Rudi Völler oh he did? I did not know that lol I can never find the clips. Well I know John took first in that tournament, followed by Ed Arnold and Richard lupkes if I'm correct

Sam Winchester www.google.at/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DF9TM2PZeU6o&ved=0ahUKEwiN8IrK2P_YAhWILFAKHSqqBtcQwqsBCEswCg&usg=AOvVaw1F08YxA_r4SVkmrntZonlD This is the link. Zumwalt was a beast.

+Troy Truong Ye, John is 200+ lbs

I love arm wrestling. I have confident but not my average wrist. I would love a challenge only if they allow me to wrap my wrist. I don't want my wrist to snap when I use 100% power.

Troy Truong Ye but you going against someone with much more muscle mass can fuck you up if they are strong as fuck

+Limitless Q7 i know. I was jk. No way i can a chance. John is a legend! Heheheheh

Troy Truong I can't even win against random big guys, imagine fucing John, a guy that can beat anyone, amazing

?

He is alive.

What

dezmoanded his last name is pronounced like bre-zink

It’s pronounced THE GOAT

Similar comparison. I mean, in the "super match" format, Brzenk didn't lose from 1983 - 2008. At age 50 he's still one of the best in the world. Technique trumps power in this game.

its not close... john is the best of the best of 20 yrs. ruth played w/ and against other men who had second jobs to make ends meet. the men john competes against are full-time pullers & the best of the best at it. w/ all due respect to ruth, he played in a VERY watered down era. to help illustrate, ruth hit fast ball pitchers who topped out in the high 70's, low 80's. now days, talented high school kids can hit low to mid 90's consistently.

***** I don't think it's a matter of wins/losses... everyone loses. I think you're assuming modern technology would have made ruth a more determined/dominant player... if im reading you right? I believe you are who you are. if you're a douchebag who wins the lottery, you don't automatically become classy just because you're rich. you're just a douche w/ a lot of money. in the same way, I don't believe ruth would have been determined much to stay in shape. he was who he was - a man w/ many flaws. I think w/ the more money, the amplified lifestyle, he would just be a crazier version of what he always was. see, I didn't change the person himself. I didn't assume he'd be in better shape. there's no way of knowing that. we do know he lived in excess. and I would argue that there were probably much better athletes in ruths time, he was just more dominant hitter/pitcher. and as we all know, that's more/less hand-eye coordination. besides, we have all seen un-athletic players in modern day MLB - david wells, david ortiz, jim thome, jason giambi, mark mcgwire, etc.... the list can go on forever. the fact that you found one or two people who 'top-end' threw in the 90's illustrates my point. every team nowdays has 6 guys who can do that. to select a handful from the early 1900's makes my case. for every good 90mph pitcher ruth faced, he faced about 20+ who would prob couldn't make a AAA team today. there are outliers in every scenario.

Easily better than Babe Ruth at baseball. This is the most dominant athlete in his sport that has ever existed that we as modern (after 1800) sports fans have ever seen. He might not be in the most athletic sport, but it is a true athletic event, unlike so many things that are just ridiculous. So it isn't basketball or football, but it is a major strength and technique sport, and he's better at it for a longer period of time than even Michael Jordan, Barry Bonds, Bernard Hopkins, etc.. Different sports, but still, I think he's the most dominant athlete in one sport, ever.

GOD JOEY u have to remember that guys in BR day pitched & hit. rarely did u have a guy that did one thing. those guys back then where nowhere NEAR the caliber athletes we have today. the only fat guys that 'just' hit, play in the AL so's to DH. and the one major outlier is prince fielder who is relegated to first base on defense. in short, u can't be fat, lazy, & out of shape anymore in baseball. and I can't stress this enough.... with the exception of about 10 guys.... pitchers back then DID NOT throw gas. some may have thrown hard early in the game, but eventually tapered off as the game went on. for large portion of the game, im sure ruth saw a steady diet (no pun intended) of low to high 80's AT BEST. now days if u throw in the 80's consistently... u don't have a job in the majors; maybe a AAA player.
