@Vengeance_Im Brian Is one of the strongest guys in the world. He has so much power that if Devon trained him and showed him technique he would crush Levan. He is like 6 8 too he would pin him easily
Brian is also much much stronger in every single way minus the wrist. I’d imagine his biceps when are close being able to get a 210 kg log from the ground curled up to his chest so his can press it. Not to mention grip, way stronger grip then Levan. Bigger, stronger. Just needs technique and table time
The guy can almost pick up the 350 lb giant dumbbell, he put a scale under it and lifted over 330. He's an actual freak of nature as opposed to a super steroid freak.
If Brian seriously trained for a few years, yes. He has the physical ability to beat him. It would be cool to see Devon become a mad scientist of arm wrestling and just start coaching the biggest boys to de-throne the champ.
@deepakdubey1130 that would be interesting. I'm remembering the video Larry Wheels did with Levan and Michael Todd doing arm wrestling lifts. Do that same video with Brian. I bet Brian would put up comparable numbers. Doesn't mean he'd immediately be a great arm wrestler, lifts and table time are totally different. But don't be surprised if he matches Levans lifts.
Tbh all of these recent events kind of showed that stock in Devon is built on hype and hype alone. Kind of embarrassing for everyone who drank the kool-aid even some professionals included. Also devon himself. We are supposed to think he is 200 iq, but he thought he had a chance against Levan by basically only training wrist and pronation and neglecting everything else. Not exactly a 200 iq move if you ask me. That being said turning to individuals like shaw is definitely more of the right move but too little too late.
Depends one his table iq, if he is a fast learner like Khaled it could be done in 1 year if he trained seriously. I mean Khaled almost beat Michael todd by just being naturally good in armwrestling and without any training.
With Devon's table IQ training Brian Shaw with his general IQ in sports and commitment and raw power by himself.. Levan fans should reconsider everything they know. Ever seen Brain Shaw real made? No people... when he does he scares people. To put things in perspective here. Levan 190 cm tall weight 178 kg. Brain Shaw 203 cm tall and about 190 kg... and with that comes overal muscle mass and strenght that's far greater then Levan who focusses more on the arm strenght. The back pressure along that Brian can provide should be scary. And with the focus on improving arm strenght and table IQ.... we have created ourselfs a new league of it's own.
Brian is a strong competitor and very smart he learns at a different level but he will need a ton of table time, Levan is smart, experienced and strength already there.
6 to 7 years to be a real arm wrestler meanwhile Brian is already in his 40s, and Levan is what 34? 35? Or something, and already at the top of his game. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of Brian Shaw, and in his world he's one of the greatest ever if not the greatest, but Levan is the best in the arm wrestling world. Not only that we've seen guys come from similar realms, and they were actually stronger than Brian shaw in some ways when is came to certain lifts like Eric spoto who benched 721, Leroy walker, another big time bencher, Larry wheels, another strength sport pro, and none of them are even top 30 or even top 40 even. Likely lower than that even.
I dont think so. Becuse most of the strenght is alteady in place so he already has a huge lead compared to us mortals and the techniqe dosnt take that long to master. I mean speculations are just speculations, so we can only guess. But I think 1-2 years before he could take on a real but low tier armwrestler and 6-7 years to be among the top tier (if he sets his mind to it, wich I doubt). And who knows who will be in the top in 6-7 years? It could be anyone.
When i see shaw it is like he doesmt understand how to armwrestle. Once he understands, he can become super strong. There is a New Zealand guy who is 20 who started to armwrestle a year ago. Hes already number 1 in New Zealand. Ebove Lachlan adair and Ryan Bowen. Within 1 year, hes 20. 20 years old. Everything is possible my fren.
Let's be real here. Brian Shaw would destroy anyone if he was trained properly. Right now, Levan would make Shaw look like a toddler as Levan is top tier.
@@brettstephens6853 Top lightweights yes for sure, easily, it's not even close. Compare eddie hall and larry wheels both pulling brian shaw, brian struggled a little bit to pin eddie, especially on left, even though he started in a completely winning position and eddie had no idea what he was doing. Whereas larry held eddie like a child with zero effort. So larry is obv better than brian. And larry has lost a supermatch just a few weeks before that to akimbo, who is a lightweight but not even close to the top lightweights like mindaugas / procopciuc / makarov, etc. Of course brian has great potential but as with anyone, he will not get there without serious training.
@@walden6272 Point? Yeah there isn't one. Brian Shaw is quite literally a top tier strong man. The guy is extremely powerful. He is untrained though and I firmly believe, if properly trained, Levan wouldn't move him. He ripped a door off of a vehicle with his hands FFS. Believe what you want.
Anyone that believes that brian couldn't be knocking at the door of the top guys in under 3 years is delusional. Not only is he one of the strongest men on earth, he's on of the strongest men in history. The guy is 6'9 and comfortably walks around at 400lbs. Not to mention he also arguably has the strongest grip in the world on top of that. Even Derek Smith, a huge and very strong armwrestler, gripped up with brain for fun and said he felt absolutely insane, and brain had no clue what he was doing. A guy that big, that strong, and with levers that long. And Devon is taking him under his wing? Good luck holding on when he starts getting comfortable on the table
@@fastfishbruh5307 definitely. But I think if he takes it seriously it wont take him very long. Hopefully he gets into the sport, it would be very exciting
@@fastfishbruh5307 I don't think it'd take much time, at all. He only needs the movements to become fluid rather than mechanical as we saw with derek. He's a very intelligent man, with the right teacher (devon) he could understand the nuances quickly.
As you probably already know, Devon once arm wrestled Thor and beat him without breaking a sweat. Thor was undoubtedly larger and stronger, but Devon’s decades of experience made him look like a weakling. It’ll take years of training for Brian to make Levan twitch - more than 3, no matter how impressive Brian is.
Brian is a massive human and a lot of potential , is he invested enough to really put his all into learning a new sport from begining to domination is the only question
It takes much more than being a giant strongman to beat Levan. It takes many years of specific training to develop the specifc connective tissue underneath all the wrist muscles, elbow, joints, fingers, etc. On top of that, you will need all the skill of arm wrestling, endurance for it, and tactics. Levan has all of that and more. Plus he's about the same weight or even a bit heavier than Shaw.
Brian has the connective tissue development, the training he did for WSM is crazy. He has the overall coordination as well. His grip is insane, likely much stronger than levan. It wouldn't take long at all.
@@Tasmanaut nope! he does not have the connective tissue development for arm wrestling at the highest level. To say that he does is like saying that hafthor does. But devon larratt easily beat hafthor without even trying. there's a vid of it on youtube.
While size and strength matters, Larry Wheels had both and yet schoolboy beat him with ease as he was no where close to the table IQ & experience. Unless Shaw is somehow miraculously gifted on the table, don't get your hopes up.
I don't think that Brian will ever pull Levan, because it takes time to get good at the table and build up the strength in the right areas. Levan might also focus more on other things in the future.
The whole Brian can beat him talk is absurd. He has the strength and frame for sure. But it takes years of technical training and building up ligaments. Most are very specific to armwrestling. It’ll be years before this conversation is realistic.
He couldn't beat Levan in a million years. He can be big but he isn't conditioned for armwrestling. Developing that specific strengths and technique takes years it's not like someone big comes into the sport and eventually beats the top athlete.
i mean even if brian has the strength he wont have near enough experience to beat current levan and when he does levan will have many more years and matches under his belt
No. The time for Brian to start training for Levan was 10 years ago. Brian is the stronger human, and one of the greatest of all time in his sport, but stronger in the specifics for arm wtestling? Absolutely not.
This is not gonna happen, because it would require years of training from Brian, and the problem is that Levan takes a lot of steroids, he knows the risks, and unless he reduces the amount of it (which can make him weaker), i can't see him competing in armwrestling in the next 5 years, at least not on a top tier level. Levan's prime may be coming to an end.
brian shaw has precisely 0% chance to beat levan now or in the next 5 years. he needs atleast that to train specific armwrestling lifts and gain experience.
You are dead wrong. If Brian was trained by Devon, and trained with the same intensity as WSM Levan would be in serious trouble within 2 years. World strongest men are not just weight lifters, they have functional strength and understand leverage and body mechanics better than most people. It would not take long for him to train those specific muscles to the levels of the best in the world. Weight lifters like Larry and Leonidas, are already doing well above average for their time in the sport and they are no where near the strength athlete of Brian. I don't think you understand the type of athlete a WSM 4 time champ is and how different they are when it comes to strength sports. There's a reason the top people in Arm wrestling wants to get one of these monsters into the sport, and it's certainly not to wait around 5 years for a "0%" chance of them beating Levan. They would only be interested in something that could pay off extremely fast. 5 years is a long time and a lot can happen in five years to Levan.
@@King_Kong88 Right now, 6 months to a year of training and School Boy would get his arm ripped off. Going into the sport Brian already has one of the strongest grips in the world.
If Brian can even put up any kind of decent fight then he's done well. It's not just the size and experience, it's also the training specific movements that Levan has built a huge strength in that Brian will definitely lag behing in.
Honestly I like Levan but he's not only the best in the world, he's also the only super super heavyweight armwrestler training for this particular sport. He's only the first one of this category and since armwrestling is still growing in popularity, there're not many people like him. If more ''strongmen'' type of people gets into the sport we might get a new weightclass cause they will outclass everyone under 350lbs, and levan will have some competition. For now, it's like throwing jon jones in the 145lbs weightclass everytime.
It would take Brian about 5 years of commitment into armwrestling to have slight a chance with Levan. There is super strong Kiril Sarychev, how is in armwrestling for about 3 years, and he doesn't stand a chance over top pullers...
Levan should fight someone his size .. devon is very great and he is the best in a pound for pound match so it doesn't matter if Devon lost he is still number 1 for me
yeah i bet before the match you were saying how devon was gonna destroy him and he’s the strongest he’s ever been now you telling levan to fight someone his size, typical fangirl comment just give levan his credit
It's the open division, get as big and strong as you can. This is like saying Ronnie doesnt deserve his 2003 win because he was too big. Current Brian is a beast but would still get destroyed like a teenager against Levan, he is simply the nest that's all there is to it.
@@Brenton-xc2fgFuck no .. levan is 100 pound heavier than Devon and he is an experienced armwrestler.. I knew Devon has no chance unless he bulked up to 350 or something hahah
Y’all are just as delusional as before the devon and levan rematch. Brian is not gonna be able to get the amount experience needed to do ANYTHING against levan 😂
ربما لن يصدقني احد لكن تذكرو تعليقي في الايام الاتيه الذي يستطيع الفوز على ليفان هو اما دينيس او موروزف وربما كلاهما سوف يسحبه دينيس في بداية عام 2025 تذكرو كلامي ❤
If Brian can learn to be smooth with transitions from technique to technique and be able to see learn to finer elements of techniques and strategies to adapt during a match then maybe he has a chance. He can develop the strength needed but he has to take this serious and become a true student of the game cause only then will he ever have a chance at Levan
Guys Kurdecha is basically a Brian Shaw who has already been armwrestling for like 10 years, he has the best chance right now in my eyes. He is a giant
U saying that him deadlifting 1000lbs and tossing a beer keg for over 50 feet automatically makes you think his bones are weak 😓? Or are you talking about just arm and hand frame? That would make more sense.
alex kurdecha will do it in 2 years, vitaly now training full time will also pose a threat, non armwrestlers cannot do anything however strong they might be
Brian would be the perfect person to move into arm wrestling. Of course he can't jump straight into taking on Levan but with time it could be possible.
This is beyond stupid. Do you really think a world champion overall strength athlete can beat the world champion in a niche strength sport? This is like saying Usain Bolt could be the best hurdler in the world if he just trained for a few years. Does anyone seriously think Brian Shaw could also be the best shot putter, discus thrower, and javelin thrower? Bruh, Brian Shaw couldn’t be the best powerlifter in the world if he wanted to and that has way more carryover from strongman than arm wrestling. It’s not just technique, it’s also genetics, body type, muscle memory, and a million things that make someone a champion in his sport. Yes, a world class strongman will do far better in armwrestling than an average gym bro but he will still do worse than professional arm wrestlers probably regardless of how much training he has. You guys come up with the dumbest scenarios.
Denis Cyplenkov was a strongman competitor prior to becoming an arm wrestler. I think it Brian commits, we could see some amazing things. He could be number 1
The size is not going to be around the same. Shaw will be like 80lbs heavier. Possibly more. I bet Shaw could push 500lbs if he wanted. Not only that but he's a full 5 inches taller than Levan. Levan will be the MUCH smaller guy. Shaw def has the genetics and the strength to match Levan, but he doesn't have the skill... yet. Levan hasn't pulled someone his own size let alone someone way bigger in a long long time. If Shaw is 80lbs heavier than Levan he will be 180lbs+ heavier than literally everyone else. Not to mention, Shaw is just naturally strong. Take no steroids Levan and put him next to no steroids Shaw and Levan would look like a little kid with 0 chance in every beating him in armwrestling.
Brian should focus on his hand, wrist and elbow for a while everything else is almost maxed out. It's just a matter of time if he decides to go for it.
Brian is strong. One of the strongest men of all time. Arm wrestling is more. Way more. No chance Shaw could even beat a guy like Ermes let alone Levan.
Brian is a fast learner so it may not take as long as you think. Brian's grip strength is already greater than Levans. Brian is crazy strong in a lot of ways with the shit ton of weight he has thrown around over the years. Size wise he is equal to levan in most aspects besides being a bit heavier and 6 inches taller. For being a big guy his stamina is pretty good. He definitely would be an extremely hard match for Levan after a couple years training.
Brian Shaw is a washed up strongman who misses all the glory. Now Shaw wants to force himself into a new niche because his strongman days are over. Brian Shaw will NEVER beat Levan. Brian Shaw’s heart is still in the Strongman business, but those days are over. It’s going to take a bigger younger truly dedicated athlete who is PASSIONATE about arm wrestling to beat Levan. That’s what it’s gonna take.
Brian shaw definitely can, he's very intelligent. Levan is strong, but he isn't at the level of a strongman. He relies on size and brute force, he has no endurance. Timing is everything concerning Levan and his rise. Arm wrestling somewhat recently lost a couple of super heavyweight stars (pushkar and cyplenkof) Plus, in the USA, the supermatch format killed arm wrestling as it favors just a select few. This is a time with diminished interest in the sport, very few strong athletes want to compete when they see matches so clearly favoring individuals like Devon who shit on the sport while competing for their own benefit. Look back in time, there have been freakishly strong athletes competing. Steriod and PED use are prolific now and probably turn away many athletes not willing to destroy their bodies for someone else's entertainment. I wish there were categories for PED use and non PED.
So the gaps for Brian are starting age and inexperience. His special assets are freakish physique, wits, and dedication. If Brian chooses to pursue this sport as seriously as his previous one, what is his max potential starting from this age, and how long will he take to rise up to that potential taking into account his emhanced assets? And if he does one day reach his personal peak, how would it fare against Levan?
shaw (in one of his youtube videos ) gets tested his bone structure (from diet and training) is harder over the average human physique , shaw also has one of the strongest grip / lift ratio in the world , devon can absolutely train shaw to beat levon
IMHO, the only guys I see with the structural size, strength, and table IQ it will take to beat a healthy, in shape Levan are MAYBE Laletin or Morozov. Not enough time there for Brian Shaw, though I believe with enough good training +experience, would provide the size and strength to challenge!
@@SurferMcoc Brian is 390 these days(490-ha), and he competed at 410-445, up to maybe 470 on his fattest day, but the most he was should be mid 460s. He is also a legit 6´6 1/2", maybe a tad more. Eric Kanevsky actually ballparked measured Hafthor, and he was about 6´8" with shoes on. Brian is shorter. People say Hafthor was 6´7 3/4 when he played ball, and that may be somewhat accurate-ish, with a head full of hair, shoes and rounding up generously you get 6´9".
There was a goddamn cricket in my room, that's why I used that voice this time. Should I return using this voice?👀
Haha!

Absolutely correct
And work ethic needed to reach the peak, which Brain Shaw demonstrably has.
Brian is bigger and stronger
Stfu! There are nobody equal in arm wrestling! You could be a Devon fan so thats why you're saying this
Schoolboy losing to Leonidas yesterday shows that yes if Brian finds someone solid to train him and learns the angles, he can definitely beat Levan.
This is the Answer. If one is already a strong athlete and starts training, their path to the top is shorter than the average Joe starting out.

It takes much more than being a giant strongman to beat Levan.

@@Tasmanaut nope! he does not have the connective tissue development for arm wrestling at the highest level. To say that he does is like saying that hafthor does. But devon larratt easily beat hafthor without even trying. there's a vid of it on youtube.
Brian would be a beast !!! His ability to train and build his body will be like nothing Levan has ever seen !!!
Stop this bullshit. Levan will eat him every day
It will take a lot of time. Will it be worth it for Brian to invest that much time in armwrestling?
If Levan loses to Brian, he's gotta go train Big Z. That's just the way it works.
While size and strength matters, Larry Wheels had both and yet schoolboy beat him with ease as he was no where close to the table IQ & experience. Unless Shaw is somehow miraculously gifted on the table, don't get your hopes up.
I don't think that Brian will ever pull Levan, because it takes time to get good at the table and build up the strength in the right areas. Levan might also focus more on other things in the future.
The whole Brian can beat him talk is absurd. He has the strength and frame for sure. But it takes years of technical training and building up ligaments. Most are very specific to armwrestling. It’ll be years before this conversation is realistic.
He couldn't beat Levan in a million years. He can be big but he isn't conditioned for armwrestling. Developing that specific strengths and technique takes years it's not like someone big comes into the sport and eventually beats the top athlete.
i mean even if brian has the strength he wont have near enough experience to beat current levan and when he does levan will have many more years and matches under his belt
Which is everyone pretending that Levan don't have technique ? 🤣
Just stop man ...
he has as much technique as he needs..
He has all the technique
Soooo cool seeing them train and have fun together!
No. The time for Brian to start training for Levan was 10 years ago. Brian is the stronger human, and one of the greatest of all time in his sport, but stronger in the specifics for arm wtestling? Absolutely not.
Brian Shaw is already huge and worlds strongest man. Imagine he learns all the wrestling techniques and trains hard😳
This is not gonna happen, because it would require years of training from Brian, and the problem is that Levan takes a lot of steroids, he knows the risks, and unless he reduces the amount of it (which can make him weaker), i can't see him competing in armwrestling in the next 5 years, at least not on a top tier level. Levan's prime may be coming to an end.
brian shaw has precisely 0% chance to beat levan now or in the next 5 years. he needs atleast that to train specific armwrestling lifts and gain experience.
and by that time he will be already 47. They should try to find someone at least 10 years younger at minimum.
@@ViniciusFarias morozov. mark my words he will beat levan next year and be champ on both hands
Falo o sabe tudo baba do levam
You are dead wrong. If Brian was trained by Devon, and trained with the same intensity as WSM Levan would be in serious trouble within 2 years. World strongest men are not just weight lifters, they have functional strength and understand leverage and body mechanics better than most people. It would not take long for him to train those specific muscles to the levels of the best in the world. Weight lifters like Larry and Leonidas, are already doing well above average for their time in the sport and they are no where near the strength athlete of Brian. I don't think you understand the type of athlete a WSM 4 time champ is and how different they are when it comes to strength sports.
There's a reason the top people in Arm wrestling wants to get one of these monsters into the sport, and it's certainly not to wait around 5 years for a "0%" chance of them beating Levan. They would only be interested in something that could pay off extremely fast. 5 years is a long time and a lot can happen in five years to Levan.
@@King_Kong88 Right now, 6 months to a year of training and School Boy would get his arm ripped off. Going into the sport Brian already has one of the strongest grips in the world.
Brian has no change against Levan.
If Shaw learns all the tricks and techs he could very well be unstoppable for any and everyone!!Shaw is one of the strongest men that has ever lived!!
If Brian can even put up any kind of decent fight then he's done well. It's not just the size and experience, it's also the training specific movements that Levan has built a huge strength in that Brian will definitely lag behing in.
2 solid years of focused training then Brian would be unstoppable.
Honestly I like Levan but he's not only the best in the world, he's also the only super super heavyweight armwrestler training for this particular sport. He's only the first one of this category and since armwrestling is still growing in popularity, there're not many people like him. If more ''strongmen'' type of people gets into the sport we might get a new weightclass cause they will outclass everyone under 350lbs, and levan will have some competition. For now, it's like throwing jon jones in the 145lbs weightclass everytime.
It would take Brian about 5 years of commitment into armwrestling to have slight a chance with Levan. There is super strong Kiril Sarychev, how is in armwrestling for about 3 years, and he doesn't stand a chance over top pullers...
Levan is another level.. just God gifted power💥
Brian would need years and years of everyday table time with Devon and maybe in 5 or 6 years he could do something. But likely levon would hurt him
If Brian is larger than Devon? Man, he's even bigger than the mountain, who pummelled Devon in the ring. He's a genuine hulk.
Levan should fight someone his size .. devon is very great and he is the best in a pound for pound match so it doesn't matter if Devon lost he is still number 1 for me
yeah i bet before the match you were saying how devon was gonna destroy him and he’s the strongest he’s ever been now you telling levan to fight someone his size, typical fangirl comment just give levan his credit
It's the open division, get as big and strong as you can. This is like saying Ronnie doesnt deserve his 2003 win because he was too big. Current Brian is a beast but would still get destroyed like a teenager against Levan, he is simply the nest that's all there is to it.
@@Brenton-xc2fg200% agreed with you mate.
@@Brenton-xc2fgFuck no .. levan is 100 pound heavier than Devon and he is an experienced armwrestler.. I knew Devon has no chance unless he bulked up to 350 or something hahah
@@jaster4442 its open weight category for a reason, there are plenty of people bigger than levan but they will never be the arm wrestler that he is
Brian will take years to prepare if he want to be the same level as Devon, Ermes, and levan.
devon and brian collab will be huge.. if brian trained for 3 yrs non stop undistracted, he be in the top 10.. Beating levan is different though
Many of you forget that Levan is not only big human , but he is also very very good arm wrestler !
Brian can absolutely be strong at the table but before he is ready for someone like Levan he needs some years at the table.
Guys! There's Always a Bigger Fish
Someone else is going to take over Levan
Stop the nonsense
Brian shaw won't beat Michael Todd in 5 years, never mind levan
Y’all are just as delusional as before the devon and levan rematch. Brian is not gonna be able to get the amount experience needed to do ANYTHING against levan 😂
ربما لن يصدقني احد لكن تذكرو تعليقي في الايام الاتيه الذي يستطيع الفوز على ليفان هو اما دينيس او موروزف وربما كلاهما سوف يسحبه دينيس في بداية عام 2025 تذكرو كلامي ❤
If Brian can learn to be smooth with transitions from technique to technique and be able to see learn to finer elements of techniques and strategies to adapt during a match then maybe he has a chance. He can develop the strength needed but he has to take this serious and become a true student of the game cause only then will he ever have a chance at Levan
Time to play against someone your size Levan!
Brian did not look as natural on the table as other newbies like Khaleed did. He might need a very long time to reach a high level like Larry.
as much as i would like Brian commiting to Arm Wrestling i very much doubt is gonna happen.
Im glad they actually read the comments, I was one of those people who asked for brian as well.
Size matters
Brian Shaw has the size, as does Levan, so they're equal on that note. Brian just needs specific arm wrestling training and workouts.
You sound like my missus...
Guys Kurdecha is basically a Brian Shaw who has already been armwrestling for like 10 years, he has the best chance right now in my eyes. He is a giant
Cmon man, Levans bones are thicker, Shaws arm will be broken in pieces. different sport
U saying that him deadlifting 1000lbs and tossing a beer keg for over 50 feet automatically makes you think his bones are weak 😓?
Or are you talking about just arm and hand frame?
That would make more sense.
Yeah, I think he's just referring to wrist, arm, and hand
alex kurdecha will do it in 2 years, vitaly now training full time will also pose a threat, non armwrestlers cannot do anything however strong they might be
I can see it now. Devon takes Brian under his wing and shows him the ins and outs. Brian will avenge him 3 years from now💪
😂😂🤡
Brian would be the perfect person to move into arm wrestling. Of course he can't jump straight into taking on Levan but with time it could be possible.
Nah, that's like saying Usain Bolt would be a great NFL wide receiver. That's a joke. You can't just flip to another sport. It takes years and years.
Brian will never beat Levan
This is beyond stupid. Do you really think a world champion overall strength athlete can beat the world champion in a niche strength sport? This is like saying Usain Bolt could be the best hurdler in the world if he just trained for a few years. Does anyone seriously think Brian Shaw could also be the best shot putter, discus thrower, and javelin thrower? Bruh, Brian Shaw couldn’t be the best powerlifter in the world if he wanted to and that has way more carryover from strongman than arm wrestling. It’s not just technique, it’s also genetics, body type, muscle memory, and a million things that make someone a champion in his sport.
Yes, a world class strongman will do far better in armwrestling than an average gym bro but he will still do worse than professional arm wrestlers probably regardless of how much training he has. You guys come up with the dumbest scenarios.
I think the age will be the problem, if Brian startet out earlier i could see it, but Levan is way younger and already fully developed
Bring all your people, everyone will go home bowing before Levan.
Denis Cyplenkov was a strongman competitor prior to becoming an arm wrestler. I think it Brian commits, we could see some amazing things. He could be number 1
The size is not going to be around the same. Shaw will be like 80lbs heavier. Possibly more. I bet Shaw could push 500lbs if he wanted. Not only that but he's a full 5 inches taller than Levan. Levan will be the MUCH smaller guy. Shaw def has the genetics and the strength to match Levan, but he doesn't have the skill... yet. Levan hasn't pulled someone his own size let alone someone way bigger in a long long time. If Shaw is 80lbs heavier than Levan he will be 180lbs+ heavier than literally everyone else.
Not to mention, Shaw is just naturally strong. Take no steroids Levan and put him next to no steroids Shaw and Levan would look like a little kid with 0 chance in every beating him in armwrestling.
Stop talking shit
Levan is 7yrs younger than Brian..
He will never catch up
Brian should focus on his hand, wrist and elbow for a while everything else is almost maxed out. It's just a matter of time if he decides to go for it.
Brian is strong. One of the strongest men of all time. Arm wrestling is more. Way more. No chance Shaw could even beat a guy like Ermes let alone Levan.
BRIAN SHAW needs to start competing as soon as possible
Brian is a fast learner so it may not take as long as you think. Brian's grip strength is already greater than Levans. Brian is crazy strong in a lot of ways with the shit ton of weight he has thrown around over the years. Size wise he is equal to levan in most aspects besides being a bit heavier and 6 inches taller. For being a big guy his stamina is pretty good. He definitely would be an extremely hard match for Levan after a couple years training.
Devon is soo older than Levan about 17 years . If his prime can coming back, I think he can Beat Levan on his younger version/prime.
Shaw? No. Next match is Levan vs Gorilla.
No, not today and not tomorrow. It simply will not be.
Brian Shaw is a washed up strongman who misses all the glory. Now Shaw wants to force himself into a new niche because his strongman days are over. Brian Shaw will NEVER beat Levan. Brian Shaw’s heart is still in the Strongman business, but those days are over. It’s going to take a bigger younger truly dedicated athlete who is PASSIONATE about arm wrestling to beat Levan. That’s what it’s gonna take.
this is a wonderful fantasy, but Brian Shaw is already 42 years old. It’s not going to happen.
Brian Shaw won't follow through
Brian shaw definitely can, he's very intelligent.
Levan is strong, but he isn't at the level of a strongman. He relies on size and brute force, he has no endurance.
Timing is everything concerning Levan and his rise.
Arm wrestling somewhat recently lost a couple of super heavyweight stars (pushkar and cyplenkof)
Plus, in the USA, the supermatch format killed arm wrestling as it favors just a select few.
This is a time with diminished interest in the sport, very few strong athletes want to compete when they see matches so clearly favoring individuals like Devon who shit on the sport while competing for their own benefit.
Look back in time, there have been freakishly strong athletes competing.
Steriod and PED use are prolific now and probably turn away many athletes not willing to destroy their bodies for someone else's entertainment.
I wish there were categories for PED use and non PED.
He should train Eric Spotto
So the gaps for Brian are starting age and inexperience. His special assets are freakish physique, wits, and dedication.
If Brian chooses to pursue this sport as seriously as his previous one, what is his max potential starting from this age, and how long will he take to rise up to that potential taking into account his emhanced assets?
And if he does one day reach his personal peak, how would it fare against Levan?
shaw (in one of his youtube videos ) gets tested his bone structure (from diet and training) is harder over the average human physique , shaw also has one of the strongest grip / lift ratio in the world , devon can absolutely train shaw to beat levon
IMHO, the only guys I see with the structural size, strength, and table IQ it will take to beat a healthy, in shape Levan are MAYBE Laletin or Morozov.
Not enough time there for Brian Shaw, though I believe with enough good training +experience, would provide the size and strength to challenge!
Thanos and Hércules could beat him too 😂😂😂
Levan is so over the top that people is dreaming awake
I don't think Brian Shaw can beat Levan. It would take him at least 5 years of serious, dedicated training. I don't think Brian will care as much!
Maybe its too late for Brian to learn armwrestling ...
Got to have the strength to make the technique work and I do believe Mr Shaw Has the strength
imagine fully trained hafthor for arm wrestling, 450lbs 6'9
Shaw is 6’8 490 lbs
@@SurferMcoc
Brian is 390 these days(490-ha), and he competed at 410-445, up to maybe 470 on his fattest day, but the most he was should be mid 460s. He is also a legit 6´6 1/2", maybe a tad more. Eric Kanevsky actually ballparked measured Hafthor, and he was about 6´8" with shoes on. Brian is shorter. People say Hafthor was 6´7 3/4 when he played ball, and that may be somewhat accurate-ish, with a head full of hair, shoes and rounding up generously you get 6´9".
I think levan only will have table experience advantage on brian if he is fully trained
