It's really hard to comprehend how strong he must have been at his peak. His power is something truly weird, considering how light he was.

Agreed!

Of course not, BECAUSE The sport Will never be as AMATEUR as it was. John is The goat, but you all know that is one of The main reasons he was on The top For so long

That's true to a degree; he is 60 and still competing at the highest level though

@@kalle1482 that doesn't make much sense..John was as "amateur" as anyone else...he never trained much off the table like guys do today..and he wasn't on PEDs until he hit 40.. yet he was head and shoulders above most ppl for a long time..competing in multiple classes very often and winning while others who tried that usually didn't place in any category..John would have been special and dominant in today's era as well..there was nothing he lacked.. versatility, table IQ, skills, the ability to bulk up when required.. nothing

I think the main take away I get from this video is that john is a super cool guy. I rewatched the video a second time but this time I made it a point to take a shot of tequila everytime i heard "super cool guy" and I was completely hammered in 6 minutes 😂

He’s probably still top ten at his size if he’s training and if he gets in top shape he’s easily top 5.

I had the chance to train with him a few years ago and didn’t go. I had just competed in a tournament and was sore as hell. I didn’t want to pull the GOAT with a noodle arm. I would have skipped the tournament if I had prior knowledge he would be in town.

Nice to hear. So I had the opportunity to zoom with him because I proposed to paint his portrait. We chatted for an hour. It was very easy communication. He ended up turning the offer down sadly, so when I met him in Istanbul I was a bit awkward, which made the meeting less fun. But I sat next to him for a bit. I just didn't ask him all the questions I wanted to ask so I am kicking myself. Anyways, I really hope he is a wall for Leonidas!

@LeahRobb 18 күн бұрын

@@JasonPaull Yep. It was frustrating because I can really paint portraits. Check out my Christianiaportraits. leahrobb.com/wp22/christiania-portraits/ I haven't totally given up but will propose to open up the offer more widely and see if there are a number of possible subjects and if the could be crowd-funding from the community for such ideas. I need to find the right person so work with - perhaps Neil Pickup?

How is he feeling? Like does he feel like he did against Petrenko for example? Because he has rested for sometime now and have had time to get healthy.

He didn't say and I dont know him on a personal level so I wasn't asking too many questions. He felt strong but he's so many levels above me I have no idea how he is compared to when he pulled Petranko. His shoulder is still bothering him though

@JasonPaull 20 күн бұрын

I dont think John can beat him in an endurance battle. I hate to bet against John...however, I don't think Leonidas is ready for John's hand and I think if John eins it'll be through dominant cupping and pronation quickly to not allow Leonidas to get into his strengths.
