It's really sad how people starting forgen how strong was Denis because of 1 loss while being far from his peak

Another honorable mention is Alexey Voevoda. His arm power was similar to prime Denis’s and to current Ermes and Levan’s. Moreover, he hooked and pinned John Brzenk with ease back in the day. His prime form was kind of anticipating today’s monstrous superheavyweights. I honestly don’t know what chemistry he was on, but it must have been something mad!

Brzenk has to be way higher. He beat so many monsters. He is one of the top 3 strongest all-time.

It s incredible how nobody would have put Devon in the top 5 objectively 1 year ago. What he did this year was more than impressive and he raised his level in an absurd way. I would have ranked him barely in the top 10 of strongest of all time 1year ago but now I agree he s top 2 in strongest of all time

Denis Cyplenkov 2018 was the strongest armwrestler ever stepped up!

Ermes and Denis is a close one man. I feel like you could exchange their places on the list and it would still make sense. I personally give the edge to Denis because even far from his peak he was able to hold Devon much better than Ermes.

Travis' strength is all about speed. If he started slow against Chaffee, he would get easily pinned. But he is able to maximally engage his muscles before Dave can fully engage his.

6:35 I think prime Denis could.

I don't see any chance how Travis could beat Vitaliy

Denis did a side pressure with a truck.

Now that I think, I really see a way for Ermes to become the best defensive puller ever in the superheavyweight division. His back pressure is so crazy good, that it acts and is as hard to break like a kingsmove, just imagine, if his wrist gets even better and he develops a kingsmove, I would love to see Ermes in some time on the number 1 spot of that list.

Voevoda in 2004, and Cleve Dean in the 70s. Both unstoppable.

Awesome Video, love that finally someone did it with good quality

John at #10 is so egregious that Devon had to personally mention how wrong it is lmao.

Cleave Dean would give everyone a problem. He's like Vitaly and Levan combined. His long frame is going to be a problem, as well as his weight.

I really like this list, idk if I would change anything

Gennadi is underrated

Can you imagine if John the giant crusher was actually 300lbs+. He'd be John the planet crusher

Off topic. Everybody knows that Levan lost only 2 rounds (actually he wasn't pinned even once) in his professional career, but I feel like Denis was beaten on the left only once by Pushkar. Did he actually lost more then 1 round on the left?

Thank you so much for making a video about this!

That's a great list right there keep it up❤

"This list is more about peak strength rather than peak technique" Lists Devon as #2 and says armwrestling is not just about strength Pick a lane dude

Your Favorite arm-wrestler is Devon thats why you put him number 2 in strongest.

Joh Breznik in his prime 🗿🐐The G.O.A.T

I came here right after watching travis bagents podcast..Devon said "they put John at number 10..todays kids doenst know anything,John would kill everybody"

List is pretty great, but I just have two complains. Despite being huge Larratt fan I don't think he is no 2, and second is you missed Alexey Voevoda.

Lol I like how you highlighted Travis' elbow going way off the pad multiple times on the pin against Dave. XD

I spend a lot of time imagining what a gym obsessed Cleve Dean would have looked like

I think there is one person missing from the list or the honorable mentions. I am not a arm wrestler historian and there may have been someone who beat Cleve in his prime, but Scott Norton should be mentioned. Cleve had a 10+ year run where he was almost unbeatable and Scott did beat him during this time frame.

What about Michael Todd? I know it's weird, but he did beat Larrat, Andrey Pushkar, had a war with (prime or near it) Denis, and 3 and oad Dave Chaffe when dave was still not injuried. Not saying he belongs in the list, but is something to consider even though everyone likes to make fun of him.

I would put peak Richard Lupkes higher. Scott Norton should be there as well and probably pre-injury Zaur.

Thats a pretty accurate list

Prime Denis is on top . He is technically superior he is strong 💪 he is just perfect

If you want to see strength centric results, get them in a sit down AW table and pull

I honestly agree with John’s placement he might not be the strongest, but he still is the goat

Even if u dont consider this year devon would still be easily top5 or top3 aswell he was pinning richard lupkes in a hook easily who had a war with denis devons raw hook and side pressure power was unbeatable during his prime days even though his prime is considered to be this year

Shaq!!!!!! LOL! Love it!

In my opinion Levan Saginashvili and John Brzenk are best arm restlers of all time!!!!!!!!

No way ermes is stronger than what I used to be and Devon 2nd strongest?? Lol

As usual, your commentaries are excellent and I see your conservative approach to a speculative subject, but I will admit that next to Ermes, Devon is the most improved armwrestler this time around, but like Vitaly he has leverage advantages. It's too bad Pushkar is no longer around, because I would have liked to see him in the sport to make it interesting all the more.

Sidepressure Bicep 1.Levan. 2.Chaffee 3.Zaur 4.Denis 5.Laletin

Alexey Veovoda should have at least gotten an honorable mention or something. He crushed everyone and then went and competed in the olympics. Like denis, arm wrestling was just a side gig to him but he murdered prime john at the table.

Ron Bath would be my #11.

Right hand? At their peek (which can be their current in some cases): 1-Levan 2-Devon 3-Dennis 4-Ermes 5-Brzenk 6-Chafee 7-Cleve Dean 8-Vitali 9-Pushkar 10-Morozov

Levan is a best all of time

Love to see Levan in a slap fight. LOL!

You mentioned Cleve so all is right with me.

Why is there such a big difference in top placement between Ermes and Vitaly? Laletin gave Gasparini a difficult time. Or did stylistic and anthropometric data play a role here?

I feel like prime voevoda should be on here?

Denis should be above Ermes, specially since your reason to put him where he is because of his arm power, and in that department Denis would still be better.

Kyriakos Grizzly the bloatlord Weight: FULL

John Brzenk is number 1 no matter what. With Levan being the strongest but the GOAT is Brzenk 100 pct

What about Alexy Voevoda?

After watching the video, List looks good

Cyplenkov was physically the strongest Armwrestler ever. His lifts were better, even than Saginashvilis.

Only Levan has no one to lose one round 💪Ge Ge Ge

Gary Goodridge should be at least an honourable mention, I think If he was in his prime today, with modern training and techniques, etc, I believe he would be one of the best in the world, and probably one of the strongest ever. His raw power was unreal

Bro 85-90kg john beats prime richard lupkes in 1988 John brzenk 2006 115 kg vs andrey pushkar is a fucking monster

do u know about cleave dean???????????

how about making the same video, only on the left hand?

Ok is as a 16 year old arm wrestler is 78kg back pull good or bad at my age or not and is a 49kg pronation good like I'm a natural weight lifter

Shaq was probably just making humour, right? I mean, he needed a second hand when he tried pulling Devon!

I would've picked the same guys like you for this list, but it would be a bit different: 10. John Brzenk (yeah a bit of an honorary title, but he was still super good) 9. Dave Chaffee (Dave Chaffee is super good and could give everyone a run for his money, but in somehow I dont feel like putting him higher) 8. Vitaly Laletin (I think Vitaly now or 2019 would beat Dave Chaffee with his pronation and speed) 7. Andrey Pushkar (prime Pushkar was impressive, but I dont see how it shouldnt be an absolute war with Vitaly) 6. Travis Bagent (when the prize money is good enough, he will become the best, Prime Travis like we only saw him in very few matches is a menace and in my opinion would've deserved the number 1 title at some point, but he is also Travis so yeah😅) 5. Richard Lupkes (I think he is quite underrated, he already was very old, when he came back to the sport and he had wars with everyone, now I think his prime was still a bit stronger, and in my opinion he sits here, although yeah, highly subjective) 4. Ermes Gasparini (The backpressure Gladiator on the 4th spot, he had a great victory against Vitaly, who had similar benefits, like Pushkar or also Travis would have against him, so Ill put him above them also he is very technical and has a lethal press, I think he will get even higher on this list) 3. Devon Larratt (simply insane what he did this year he only lost to Genadi, while Genadi was a stylistic nightmare for him, but still it wasnt only that, what brought him down at that match, and now he is even stronger and destroyed everyone besides Genadi this year, he didnt even lose a single round since Genadi, maybe he is the guy to dethrone Levan) 2. Levan Saginashvili (without any doubt he has the most power out of all in general, he is so powerful he can beat everyone in just one lane, and thats absoltely insane) 1. Denis Cyplenkov (I mean it could be wrong but anyways I think prime Denis was literally invincible, not in a tournament, I think Levan would beat him, if its just one round, but in a supermatch I think Denis reigns supreme, he has likely the best hook, that the sport has ever seen, and literally beat Michael Todd in an endurance battle, and then there is Denis kingsmove and Ill say it in my opinion it is a serious case for the best kingsmove ever, I didnt see anyone beat his kingsmove, besides when he was already beat up, like against Liliev, and all these factors combined, that likely is stronger inside than Levan, that his endurance was absolutely crazy and that his kingsmove is also a quite good weapon he had let me think, that he would beat Levan, now would he beat Devon, I dont know, since Devons versatility could be a serious problem, but for now I will let it like this) Likely this list is wrong but anyways, I had fun😅

denis didnt have optimal technique? man is a technical genius. It just doesn't look like it.

I can't believe Cleve Dean was just an honorable mention.

We will see Devon vs Levan on April.

Devon talked about this exact video in the travis bagent podcast with Engin and John, it was hilarious but he was right :) 😊

Thought Cleave Dean was going to be on this list for sure

4:19 lmao gold comentary

Levan now is at beast mode. Quite easy picked Larratt. That was a big surprise for everyone....

How can we get lavan to shave like bull hurley?

What about Zaur pre injury? Didn't he flash vitaly?

It was the loss to Genadi that lit the fire in Devon. Thank you, Genadi

What about prime Voevoda?

imo 1.Levan S 2. Denis Cyplenkov 3. Dave Chaffee 4. Richard Lupkes 5. Arsen Liliev 6. Cleve Dean 7. Andrey Pushkar 8. Devon Larratt 9. Ermes Gasparini 10. Vitaly Laletin

Ryan Bowen is laughing at the back 🗿

I wouldn't put any version of anyone over Prime Denis tbh. His arms didn't look real.

2014 a1 open Denis Cyplenkov fresh for fresh would beat everyone here.

Number one john breznk

Are you judging just pure strength or p4p? I’m asking because leaving Todd Hutchings off this list is crazy to me

Levan is the one

Prime Denis should be 3rd

Came here right after watching Travis Bagents podcast. Devon said "they put John at number 10..todays kids doesn't know anything, John would kill these guys". And try to disagree with me, I'm looking at you below, you smooth brained.

What about Cleave Dean & Norton?

I saw a comment saying "Devon beating everyone? Devon only went up the weaker guys like sandris, Prudnyk and Lund" like sorry what??? Devon defeated Ermes Gasparini like bro what????

Onenof the best list out there

Moment when you know whose gonna be first before start of video😅😅 Honestly,i came here to see Gasparini's position since his encounter with Levan

One big issue is you have Laletin at 9th and Ermes at 3rd. But a weaker Laletin (in your opinion since you cited 2019 as his prime not current shape) gave hell to Ermes in a match that could’ve gone either way…. So they def should be a lot closer to each other on the list! Imo Ermes is 6 and Laletin is 7. I also think Laletin today is at his prime, not 2019 Laletin 🙂 jmo!!! Also (and this is just my opinion) but prime Brzenk is top 5 for sure. Maybe even top 3. I also have the same top 10 (but in a different order) except I have Goodridge instead of Lupkes. Goodridge and Lupkes went back and forth when Lupkes was at his peak - and Goodridge was 6-7 years away from his peak. People underestimate / forget about Goodridge imo…. And I’m not sure why that is…. Not sure the overall score between Goodridge and Lupkes though!

Denis has lift above everyone....hence he is the strongest.

John Brzenk one of them.

I want to see genadi vs levan

No Voevoda is actually criminal

Strongest on right - Levan , strongest on left - Denis .

YEP, PERFECT RANKING.... UNTIL APRIL!!!!!!!!!!

John is quite high on this list if you will consider his match with russian open 2014 dave chaffee😅

Bro didnt mention Georgi Svetkov

Everyone knows who is no.1 The invincible Levan🔥

Soon school boy will be here

Devon in Travis podcast recently mentioned & talked about this video. He disagrees that prime John is number 10. Devon said prime John would murder a lot the guys in this video 😊

Скажу по себе если бы не было такого имени как Devon Laratt мало бы кто слышал о таком спорте как армрестлинг . При всем уважении ко всем чемпионам и легендам этого спорта - я действительно узнал и заинтересовался этим видом спорта благодаря Devon Laratt.
