People who are saying that levan Don't pull that often... Only one match a year doesn't even realise he has no competition... Nobody is willing to have a match against him... If you're that kind of person that people are scared to arm wrestle... Then you are the GOAT... NO DENYING THAT
if he had more matches per year, he wouldn't be as fresh and strong as he is for his matches.
John Brzenk went 22 years straight and lost 1 match. Pipe down kid
laletin is the goat on the left then :D
@@wattacoolguy na bro i have to disagree... He may not be as fresh and strong as he is rn... But he is just too damn powerful that his 50 percent effort is enough... If nobody can give him a fight how he is gonna get tired?... Remember he came back after an injury and still destroyed a very powerful Devon... Nobody can even budge the Devon levan faced... He would beat everyone
@@fmayolo2279 we're talking about single round... Any competitors from past or present in their prime can't budge levan
He came after an injury and faced the number 1 guy who was dominating so much lately and won so easily
I love how devon fans discussed his case for being the GOAT, if he beat Levan. But when thinking of Levan as that, they give him no chance.
they are haters
So being the biggest and strongest makes you the goat? Fair. I just disagree
levan can easily become the goat, just needs to beat ermes convincingly again and compete 5ish more years. it's still abiy early to say he is the goat right now, even though he might be.
@@RyanC232 this goat discussion is so childish, levan would beat 6-0 every day prime john brzenk and you know it.. Who is the everest of our sport, who is the strongest and going to be the king for another 10 years, absolutely Levan, who is the strongest arm wrestler in the histrory of armwrestling.. Levan. He is the Goat .
@@RyanC232 being the biggest and strongest and also flash pinning Devon a total of 10 times is the same as the GOAT 👌
He definitely should be in the conversation now. There likely hasn’t been this dominant of a streak ever. He’s beginning to cross over into movies. He’s a highly revered national champion. His popularity is soaring. Every GOAT in every sport has different ways of getting into the conversation, and Levan is on a 7 year dynasty. Even if he loses a few times it’s hard to imagine he wouldn’t be a contender for a long time to come. Longevity is a major category but even with John and Devon they never had a dominant streak like this.
Levan isn’t the GOAT yet but he’s on the doorstep imo. Put him ahead of Pushkar now.
He was ahead of Pushkar even before. Pushkar got unlucky and had opponent like Denis in his time and that made him lose quite a bit. John is goat when it comes to winning longevity in armwrestling, Levan is goat when it comes to being the most powerful right hand and Denis is a goat when it comes to the left.
John is the F-ing GOAT!!!! 🐐 No can eclipse John in tournament wins and World titles this is not a debate...
True and at the same time Levan is the strongest arm wrestler in history. Those two things can be true at the same time.
@@OriginalMindTrick of course, I don't think John could be Levan. Too much size and strength difference.
Yes, Levan himself said that as well.
How many actual professional rounds has he pulled in in that 7 year span since he was pinned?
but does it really matter if he crushed top 20 guys once per month haha. I think he pulled all the matches that mattered
@@PerformanceEnhancingPancakesNot when it comes to goat status, everyone has off days and its easier when you only have to peak once a year to compete, to quote Conor "Show me some activity"
4 I think.. LOL
Ermes,
Devon,
Dave,
Vitali..
There may be another
@@woahblackbetty7691 There's nobody that'll give him that kind of activity as he's ran through everyone especially Vitaly at his peak and legit just held Dave Chaffee at the table on the first round in 2021 with 6 - 0. 4-2 Ermes, 4-0 Devon rematch, 6-0 Devon first match. 6-0 Kydyrgaly, 6-0 Tim, hes dominated. Who else is he gonna face? Devons already taken down all the top guys and he got flash pinned by an recovering levan. Only person with a chance is either ermes again or alex kurdecha. Whats the point of him pulling all the time if it's just going to be absolute annhilation.
@@woahblackbetty7691 bro, you know that he would beat everybody, like why are the people tryna put him in a bad light, he would beat easily the top 10-20 guys in the world, and the top 20-100 with 50% like whats the point of this comment, he would beat absolutely everybody if he has match every month
this goat discussion is so childish, levan would beat 6-0 every day prime john brzenk and you know it.. Who is the everest of our sport, who is the strongest and going to be the king for another 10 years, absolutely Levan, who is the strongest arm wrestler in the histrory of armwrestling.. Levan. He is the Goat and people that are denying it are the haters of him
Of course he'd beat John, look at the size of him, could Levan beat 20 other Levans for a 10-20 year period? 😅
People will say Levan doesn’t have the longevity yet, and fine, but Levan is definitely the highest level the sport has ever seen thus far.
Levan had to run his elbow off the table multiple times to not get pinned by Ermes... Those are legit pins.
Levan is most likely the SOAT (Strongest Of All Time) - Top level strength(s) as displayed on the table.
Honorable Mentions:
PRIME Alexey Voevoda, PRIME Denis Cyplenkov, PRIME Andrey Pushkar, Cleve Dean (Potential), PRIME Richard Lupkes.
John is most likely the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) - Top collection of achievements and diversity of accomplishments for high level competition over time.
Honorable Mentions:
Engin Terzi, Nurdaulet Aiderkhan, Khadzimurat Zoloev, Kydyrgali Ongarbaev, Ron Bath, Todd Hutchings.
Devon is most likely the BOAT (Best Of All Time) - Top technical knowledge and application as displayed on the table in high level competition.
Honorable Mentions:
Engin Terzi, John Brzenk, Evgeny Prudnik, Kydyrgali Ongarbaev, Michael Todd (yes really), Davit Samushia, Mindaugas Legendsaitis.
List shortened so it doesn't go on forever.....
This is how I approach the GOAT conversation in armwrestling:
Levan: *Most dominant* of all time (strongest ever, most unbeatable)
Devon: *Best* of all time (P4P - skills, strength, ability)
John: *Greatest* of all time (undeniably integral to the history of the sport as a pioneer, historic career with a plethora of accolades and achievements to match his prowess as a puller)
It's the same way I approach the GOAT discussion in basketball:
Shaq/Wilt: Most dominant of all time
LeBron: Best of all time
Jordan: Greatest of all time
John Brzenk pulled numerous times and dominated for DECADES against people BIGGER than himself, people argue that the level is different but fail to realise that John himself was of that time period, he didn't train in the future and time travel to the past for matches. Levan dominates alright, but mainly because he is the biggest guy in the room, everyone he faces is at least 50kgs lighter than him (30kgs for the big ones) and can't handle the extra power (weight classes exist for a reason). There sould be an extra class at least in the 130 threshold (if not in the 145-150), but that's not possible due to the low number of athletes. John was THE guy till his 50s while Levan might not be pulling (or worse) in his 40s.
The fact is competition was less fierce back then. People didn't make a living off of arm wrestling. People are putting their health on the line to win matches and everyone of these monsters are looking at dethroning Levan. All the different types of training are documented on videos and people have figured out more effective ways to train. Back then you could possibly get lucky and train differently and end up defeating the competition that does arm wrestling as a hobby.
Levan vs Cleve Dean, at his prime, since the latter was heavier.
Definitely the best ever to do it. His dominant run is unrivaled. He is also very versatile. All due respect to the other legends in comparison
At this point, the question for the GOAT isnt a question of who is the most impressive, but rather just a matter of semantics
Arm wrestling has changed a lot since John was in his prime, not only level wise but also in the format of the matches, there are way too many variables to be comparing John and Levan and I personally think its impossible to make a comparison between the two, imho if someone were to dethrone John for the GOAT status, it needs to be a weightclass puller, otherwise, if the athlete is an SHW only puller, they are the strongest of all time, SOAT.
Hell, people cant agree on the top 3 pullers because of "style matchups" and "variables" let alone to make an conclusion on who is the new GOAT
Depends on your definition of GOAT.
Is the GOAT the raw bench press specialist who does 555+ in competition for 30-years straight in the 198, 220 and 242-pound weight classes? Or is it the 400-pound monster who has done over 800-pounds raw in competition for seven years and has been undefeated in that time.
Both are iconic legends light years ahead of most of their peers either way.
He's the strongest of all time. The greatest of all time is John Brzenk, followed closely by Devon Larratt.
Cheaters in any sport should not be recognized for any type of praise
@@americanmade175 what’s the cheat?
not closely.
@@emilianodavid7419yep
@@americanmade175 poor Devon. Juicing so much and still can’t beat Levan 👌
If he keeps this up for another 10 years at least, he will be the goat. If he starts losing at any point soon, this conversation will be going right out the window.
That outtro is even more unpinnable
Especially not getting pinned in the super heavy weight devision!
He has already cemented his name as one of the top three in history; however, I would really love to see him against a trained strongman like Brain shaw or continue his reign for at least three more years. If one of these two conditions materialized, he's the goat period.
Imagine if Devon had won. This video would be about him.
He downgraded Devon to heavyweight class and hasn’t been pinned for almost 7 years so there you go 👌
Hes had about 5 matches in those 7 years 😂 No but seriously he is definitely the strongest of all time
@@woahblackbetty7691 16
he had way more matches, but pls use ur brain, he is number 1, of course people needs to earn to armwrestle against him, like we know he is top 1, and every time we guess who is the second, he gets a match with him
Typical bandwagonner :D :D
Just for Levan to defeat Devon twice at his peak (10-0) is a very impressive and unmatched feat, considering how many victories Devon had achieved in the past and present.
When comparing Levan and John, I think you also have to look at the level gap between number 1 and 2. There were many pullers near John's level, but Levan looks untouchable.
yes unstoppable.
Strongest of all time doesn't mean being the greatest.

To Be The Greatest You Need A Legacy Not Domination.
So,answer should be devon ;)

@@Jason-vj1qnI’m sorry, but Devon hasn’t been at the top of the sport for anywhere near as long as John.
No. Just the most juiced.It’s not a fair comparison. Devon is the goat.
wtf are u saying?? thats why this sport is close to childs playing, Devon is nowhere to be goat who lost to Genadi and Levan 2 times, like are u ok or something wrong with you lil bro? zip devons pants up pls when ur done, smh
Important to mention that the only guy who was number 1 at both left and right for a decent amount of time ( especially on the left) is Denis, i don't think he is the goat but nobody else ever achieved it and it's really impressive.
Devon was the no one on both right and left if I'm not wrong. It was during 2008-2012 I believe.
@@Melajied uhh nope he never showed up to zloty or A1, he might be unofficially the no.1 then but he never proved it so denis was no.1. And btw on left PAL, he only had one match with pushkar in 2012 and never defended that title till 2018
@@darthvader7886 how is denis no one at that time? He was just into arm wrestling during 2008.
@@Melajied i meant since 2010, before that john..
Even Devon falsely labels Levan as the best ever, When the more accurate statement should be that Levan is the (strongest) arm wrestler of all time!
Yep
If Devon is saying Levan is both the greatest and strongest then there's really no other answer. I don't think he's false labeling him, hes one of a kind.
@@Anzunai When absolutely everyone you beat is smaller and lighter than yourself doesn’t exemplify greatest, but when someone beats countless opponents that are bigger and heavier such Brzenk, Hutchings, and even Devon, then that’s something worth bragging about, I can’t think of a single opponent that Levan has beaten that is as big or bigger than himself? Wow, what profound logic & discernment I have. But Levan is the strongest arm wrestler that I know of.
@@snsdkbopper7819 That's about every Devon fans excuse, is the weight difference. Going off your logic if Levan never defeats anyone his size then he will never get goat status, that's just so ignorant. Tell me since your so smart who you think has a chance at the same weight or near as Levan who hasn't already been decimated by Devon? Think of any? No you can't, why? Because there is nobody, and anyone that does has either been beaten by people Levan already destroyed or are nowhere near Levans strength at that size. You have no actual argument, the only one close to Levans size is either Georgi or Zaur but Zaur post to Georgi who lost to Devon who lost to Levan. Only 2 left or three is kurdecha or Morozov apart from that, there's no competition for Levan. There would be no point in him having multiple matches a year cause he would just destroy them. So how is he supposed to gain goat status if there's no competition for him? Cut him some slack, if Devon says he's the greatest then he is. Your opinion doesnt matter in the eyes of the goats perspective.
@@Anzunai Levan won’t live to see 45. No human body can sustain the staggering amount of drugs and weight he maintains simply to arm wrestle one super match per year. Denis polluted his body with a decade of Tren and buckets of hGH, and it nearly killed him, but even he was never remotely close to 400 pounds. This is the highest peak of arm wrestling strength, no question, but there’s no chance he can sustain this for decades. He will literally die if he doesn’t lose at least 100 pounds within the next 5-10 years.
Yes
longevity and consistency. despite the juice. despite the size difference. that is what makes a goat. you dont just put him at the highest level if he hasnt been at the highest level yet for at least as long as the decades like john. you cant put him in the same conversation as devon in terms of all of the good hes done for the sport. hes obviously by far the strongest and deserves that title, but goat? nah. if brian v levan ever happens that would be a true test of his metal.
Arm wrestling would be dead without Devon .
Levan will be dead within 5 years if he stays at 400 pounds and blasting gallons of drugs.
Yup 🤘🍻🤘
Your favourite word is; Probably
Probably Enhancing Pancakes
Strongest of all time no question. Still too early in his career to be the Goat but he could get there.
It's Brzenk based on the criteria that sports use for greatness. It's not even close on those metrics, he dominated longer than anyone else and did it at many competitions. He was the face of the sport for DECADES. Everyone who armwrestles in some way or another owes their interest to Brzenk. The true godfather.
Levan is the best, he would beat everyone, but he is not the greatest as he doesn't have the accomplishments. If Levan stays as dominant as he is right now for another 10-20 years, we can have that conversation.
Issue is, as anyone intellectually honest would agree... He won't. This peak is a short term situation because it's only happening because he is taking more drugs and eating more food than anyone else. When Larry Wheels says that your cycle is insane, then your cycle truly is insane.
Every sarm under the sun, all the major steroidal compounds, high doses of GH and insulin, all of it. He is only 6'3 and is over 400lbs. Much like the fat man at your local Wal-Mart, that build doesn't age well. All the gear plus the weight on his frame isn't sustainable. Not unless he is incredibly lucky.. It's def not the safe bet. Taking the most drugs to be the biggest and strongest for a few years can make you the best/strongest of all time. It's obvious he is the strongest. It doesn't create the longevity to be the greatest though.
If we ever gets someone who is a "more natural" (not literally natural) SHW things could be different. Someone 6'6-7ft+ with a big wide frame, thick bones, etc. Devon is tall, but it's clear he was never meant to be a "big" man. We need a linebacker looking guy at 7ft who weighs 400+lbs while not being extremely morbidly obese. Someone like that could have both the strength and the longevity to "end the argument" and pass Brzenk. Of course that guy would win the recency bias over everyone too, especially if the sport gets more popular
Yes.
Not sure about the greatest but for sure the strongest. So definitely the SOAT!
He has a LOOONG way to go before that title. Years. Especially if the PEDs win.
He is the best now and unbeaten for the last 7 years ! Devon was never able to beat him .
i honestly think it would be unfair to considering how long John did what he did, yes levans peak may be stronger however for his time brezenk was the strongest out of everyone not stronger than current levan however the access to technology and science is far easier to get a hold of and training methods have developed significantly since then
I mean, if John in his time pulled only 1 match a year like Levan now, pretty sure John would never lose and have a perfect win streak as Levan now. It's a basic law of large numbers.
He has no competition... No one is willing to compete against him... He's that much strong....what can he do about that?
bro people are actually braindead, he is the mountain bro, he would beat everybody who is in top 10-100, why everyone putting him in a bad light wtfgff
@@jdchallenges4660 It's the fact Levan is a super heavy and has much fewer opponents to compete. John was a middle weight and had so much more heavier opponents willing to compete against him.
@@kristof9879 At the time John Brzenk was literally the mountain that everyone wanted to beat. Have you not watched the "Pulling John" documentary?
@@108mtsan levan has a very large frame... He can't compete in middle classes... Talking about competition, we have sooo many guys but none of them are willing to pull him... I don't think it's his mistake.. Being powerful and big is how you climb the top... We had people who were able to dethrone john, but none of those pullers in their prime can touch levan... They can't even budge today's Devon let alone levan
Absolutely goat. Most dominant ever…
I think a trained Brian Shaw could really give him trouble
There always will be just one goat, John Brzenk!
But Levan is strongest of all time
He migh be the biggest and strongest ever, but to be the GOAT of any sport is more than that. John's name is woven into the very fabric of the sport. His style and elegance and how effortlessly dominated bigger people than him for decades cemented his legacy forever. Of course everyone has their own candidates for the GOAT title so at the end of the day it's all subjective.
After his comeback he passed denis in my list and is third behind John and Devon. But i have to say that o have john and devon extremely close. If levan retain his dominance for something like 3 years more he could pass them both
But Levan has pulled 20 matches in 7 years, when John pulled 20 matches daily, its not a fair comparison.
Also vitaly laletin, kurdesha and alex are 3 posible candidates to beat levan.
I think Morozov in a far future
If the bet is not about you loose , vut losse in lu oan raound , then you are the goat
Not yet, has more to prove. He is well on his way to being able to claim the title though.
Kurdecha does not have the hand size to compete with Levan, Levan will continue to be dominant for as long as his body is able to withstand the steroid abuse that he is doing, I hope he learns from Denis mistakes and doesn't stay on Tren year round...
Yes he is
I think there is a line that needs to be drawn with everyone's conclusion of Levan. He's remained unpinned for 7 years and faced the top arm wrestlers in the world especially Devon. Sure Levan has only had one match per year but you have to realize there is no competition for him. He has 6-0 most of the top 10-20 guys, flash pinned at that.
He manhandled Dave Chaffee who is known for his explosive power in the first few rounds.
He beat an absolute monster of a man Vitaly at his peak and 6-0 him.
He utterly destroyed Devon the 1st and second time (with the rematch being a recovering Levan).
He also destroyed Ermes 4-2 (the 2 rounds being for the withdrawl) credit to Ermes for making Levan struggle though, but he still lost.
Take into account of people Devon beat over the time he was training for the Levan rematch. He beat Georgi, a stronger Ermes, Sergey, Dave, Evgeny, Sandris, Denis and almost beat Gendai (I call it a win with him vs Genadi, the refs were horrible). All that just for Devon to eventually get flash pinned in the rematch.
Even if Levan had mutiple matches in a year, whos going to face him that he won't outright destroy apart from probably 2 people he'd struggle a bit against? There's literally no point of it because there is no real competition for him.
Levan is an up and coming new Goat soon to be in there with John Brzenk and Devon Larratt
And John was undefeated for 25 years more than double levan
I think what's holding Levan back the most from becoming the GOAT is only competing in the open division. If he cut down to compete in an actual weight class, then I don't see him doing very well.
His first competition weight was in open class...you want him to cut below his smallest point....are you high or what...okay let's ask devon to beat samushia and Arthur, let's go, same with prime john.
I think he might not be the GOAT yet, but if he goes on and kills everyone for another couple years I would say he can have it
SI.
He hasn't been on top long enough to be considered GOAT yet. If he continues this reign for years to come, then we can discuss it.
Wdym not long enough 😂. Were you sleeping? Levan destroyed all elite superheavyweights for 7 years , didn't losing a single round.
it can be said safely that Levan is the greatest armwrestler in the Modern Era, but no all time or history like John.
How doesn't Vitaly laletin come to mind when it's comes to pinging Levan
He already tried years ago and lost
John is the pound for pound goat, but Levan is definitely the best ever
John is Sugar Ray Robinson and Levan is Ali combined with Tyson on steroids (literally lol)
But yeah he is the final boss
Yes, levan is the goat with larat a very distant second; brezenk after those two.
Short answer, no.
Long answer, noooooooooooooooooooo.
If he doesn’t lose a round in 15/20 years ok but 10 years is still not enough to be the goat
even as a fellow georgian i think he's the strongest one but not the goat john brenzk takes the crown even as a huge fan of levon
No, he's the STROAT, the strongest of all time.
There is a difference between the greatest and strongest of all time
I think that's an opinion. I believe to be the greatest you have to be the strongest. If Levan retires without getting pinned once how can you just say he's strong and leave it at that. That would make him the greatest arm wrestler in history.
@@LB-sh7qt in my opinion, devon larratt for example is way more influential and important for the sport...levan is indeed stronger than him and any armwrestler but for me being the strongest is not enough to be the goat ...just my own opinion no offense
Brzenk eternal GOAT
👍🏻💪🏻🥞
The GOAT is John for me, and always will be
why don't give others a chance for the throne. truth will never come from stubbornness
@@Bomb6A9Head You can give him a chance, i just have my own take on it, for me the GOATS are the lighterweight guys
@@SDSen no, for you the goat is american and you dont want to give it to europeans, because u are american aswell, smh
Levan is awesome and you can't chalk it ALL up to roids but it's true that too much of what he does depend on roids.. can't call someone like that the GOAT.. imagine John being on a roid diet like Levan's all of his career ? he'd prob have been a different monster
No Morozov, am i the only one ?
levan the new goat, just give him some more time
Agreed
in my opinion be the Goat someone needs to be dominant pound for pound and must be strength based Classic armwrestler not relying on cheap tricks or being a one trick pony and must have both hand and arm strength.
Denis and Levan were able to achieve nothing pound for pound when their weight was similar to thier opponents the weren't as dominant
Devon is endurance based armwrestler he use cheap tricks and gets in trouble by opponents even lighter than him
he have strong hand but not strong arm
John Brzenk is the only complete armwrestler
John brezenk - Goat
Levan - super heavyweight Goat
Simple.
Highest peak does not equal GOAT in my mind. The sport develops over time and people pull in different weight classes. Obviously this Levan would absolutely obliterate any version John Brzenk but that doesn not make him a greater armwrestler.
Greatness is about your skill, your struggles and your achievements (Atleast in my mind) and in those catergories John Brzenk still clears Levan.
Levan is goat,According to me my ranking will be:
Prime Denis>levan>john breznk>devon
dog what?
prime denis was so short lived, how could he be above levan?
@@OneDerscoreOneder may be short lived,but he was explosive and weight lifting was more than levan.he was having a well chance
You can tell that most armwrestling fans are new because their so quick to dismiss Johns legacy and attempt to crown a new 🐐. Can you name another sport where an athlete dominated for 30 years? What about regardless of weight classes? People want to make the argument that the level has risen and I agree with that, but it's not like this is Wilt Chamberlain situation where Wilt was in an era where he was just bigger than everyone else. John was 200 lbs or less for the first 20 years of his dominance beating super heavyweights. In combat sports people argue over who's the best pound for pound fighter, you didn't even have to speculate in armwrestling because John was beating everyone. Including Cleve Dean who was 600 lbs. John retired for 7 years and comes back at 57, decades out of his prime and has had victories over Irakli, Oleg, Corey, Linn, Zoloev and more. Who does that? On top of that John didn't even touch PEDs until he was in his 40s when there was a notable jump in his bodyweight increased to around 230 lbs.
As for Levan, I do believe he has attained the highest peak strength that armwrestling has ever seen. Can he be the 🐐? Typically goat status requires longevity with dominance. Just my opinion, but I don't believe Levan will be able to sustain his current level for much longer without significant health complications. He's abusing PEDs at the highest degree at a bodyweight of 400 lbs. You can watch MPMD video on this.
John blasted tren , sarms and test and is fine. Dw about others
I think morozov will have the biggest chance, more than ermes
Yeah GOAT my ass 😂
get tests on every Event and get Levan off the Juice and we see if he is not pinable 😂 get hin than a rematch with Larratt when both off Juice 💯🔥💪
And of course he's not pinned when he has only one match per year 😂
I don’t think he pulls enough times a year to be the goat. I think if he were to pull more times a year he would definitely get pinned. Levan is the highest peak, but not the goat. Think about it, if John were to only pull once or twice a year I think he would also have done the same thing if John calculated his matches and peaked properly he would have probably gone on an even more insane run. The more you pull the more chances you lose. Imagine 2 basket ball players , one of them only shoots once or twice a game and makes both of them, and imagine another player that shoots 10-15 times and makes at least 80-90% of them, which is more impressive?😌
Tell me genuis who would pin him?😂😂 He'd dominate everyone in the top 10
Loading yourself with steroids doesn’t make you the goat
i think a 95Kg guy dominating the open division for 30 years should be the GOAT...go figure
Levan spent over 10 years full time just working out to get bigger and competing in armwrestling. Devon has been doing it 6 years... Devon is GOAT?
Idk. I guess it's only fair. What are we even talking about unless we just acknowledge who wins. Levan is GOAT? SOAT? BOAT? He did beat Devon 😔
HES THE GOAT AT TAKING ANABOLICS AND SARMS... AND RUINING THE SPORT OF ARMWRESTLING WITH HIS UNETHICAL USE OF THESE DRUGS. UNTIL TESTING FOR PEDS IS DONE... THIS SPORT IS A COMPLETE AND UTTER JOKE... NOT 1 OUTCOME CAN BE CONSIDERED LEGITIMATE WHEN PED USE INVOLVED.
The strongest of all time yes. Greatest? No. Being 100 kg of gear heavier than all your competition doesn't make you the greatest. I mean shit, Bowen or Schoolboy could be that size, weight and strength and do the same shit. Still John, with Devon in second. If Levan can dominate like this for at least the next 20 years then yes definitely
Levan will NEVER be the GOAT!!! The guy Armwrestles 1 time every 2 years🤣🤣🤣. King Devon will end in being the GOAT when he retires, he’s had waaaaay more matches in his career and beat 99% of the competitors out there!
This is a trick question right? GOD is the greatest of all time.
Nope. He gotta pull more often.
Levan will never be the GOAT because he almost never competes, if he remains undefeated in 10 years it is only because he only had 10 matches, no one can be the GOAT for only 10 matches. John Brzenk competed much more often
Because who is he gonna face??????? Levan will just destroy everyone else. Think Cris think
@@Anzunai Jhon too and yet he continued to face the best. Furthermore Levan could still defend his title against opponents such as: revenge vs vitaly, revenge vs ermes, georgi, Genadi, Morozov, Kurdecha, Denis, healthy Zaur. And all these encounters are going to take years to have, if it were someone like John I would face them almost immediately
@@cris9584 Buddy listen, Vitaly lost to Dave Chaffee and Ermes not too long ago, Dave Chaffee got manhandled by Levan. Georgi lost to a stronger Devon and Devon recently just got flash pinned 4-0. Genadi was fighting for his life and should of lost to Devon. Zaur got destroyed in his last match, couldn't hold out for a few rounds gassed out quick. Denis lost to a stronger Devon who once again got flash pinned by a recovering Levan, Ermes also lost to Devon again. Only people are kurchdecha and morozov. So what thats 2 matches in a year?
The only thing Levan is the goat of is surviving absurd amounts of steroid use.
Hey you performance enhancing pancakes dont make this channel shitty !
Strongest of all time? Yes. Greatest of all time? No.
Levan is the GOAT 100%. Breznk was never that dominant
No, he's using a drug that gives him supernatural strength that makes him a cheater, just like many others but Levan took it much much further and most likely carved out 20 -30 years of his life
He's the Goat but since he's not interesting enough and kinda boring compared to Devon, Devon is people's goat for now
Yes, if Levan can go 10 years without losing(not round, just not losing) he is in the conversation. Levan is surely the most dominant number 1 in history. In terms of legacy and impact on the sport, John and Devon did more at this point. We will see.
He is strongest of all time, but not greatest...
