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.
@@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....
John is the ultimate role model. What an incredibly humble human being. He is probably the most dominant person of any sport in any time, yet just acts like one of the guys.
Hello John, if you are reading this, please considering writing a biography. Even a short one is fine. In fact shorter the better. People have the right to know more about one of the greatest athletes in the wold.
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.
John Brzenk will always be the king of arm wrestling no matter where he ends up on the rankings going forward. His accomplishments will never be repeated and that's why he's earned the title as the best there ever was
I really like Voevoda and Brzenk , Brzenk is very good he knows how to lose and how to win , he is very powerful for 90kg man , he really gives me motivation for arm wrestling
It's very obvious John is an intelligent man and easily stays humble knowing he's the best of all time. Also, who the hell is slamming doors and opening squeaky windows in the background; is that Travis?
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....
I'm greatly inspired by athletes who are the best in their sports and who are also humble and classy at the same time. Brzenk, Federer, Fedor, Tendulkar. GOATs and such marvelous beings
So many casual fans do not realize that John is not a Heavyweight, even though he has beaten many of the absolute best Heavyweights. His Win Over Cyplenkov in 08 was absolutely epic
The greatest of all-time. John Brzenk was/is better at arm-wrestling than Muhammad Ali was at boxing, Michael Jordan was at basketball, and Micheal Phelps was at swimming.
I'm not saying he doesn't have big arms but I'm still wondering how he doesn't get his arms snapped by way larger oponents. This guy was and is unbelievable!
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?
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.
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.
U got that right,I hated seeing him as he got older ,or hurt whatever the case,sukz happens to all of us look at lupkes he was a hand crusher,dont get me wrong still is but when he was younger he used to slam arms down lol ,check the vids,(richard lupkes),still john the best ever hands down...........
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.
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.
lIKE lARAT SAID goat is only 1, and hes john Brzenk. Cyplenkov said hes idol. Alexy Voyvoda say its hes hero.. even...even Levan around 4 years nobody can get win hes 1 round, but levan said .. yes,, only one...all thinking , he Said only John can. Ron Bat and Richard Lupkes say they both all in place 2 or 3, becuose... Jhon KING IS ONLY ONE!!!
I love this guy. He is the most down to earth athlete out there. So humble and such a wonderful role model. I wish more athletes were like him.

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

The best thing I like about John Brezik is that he is humble, respectful of his competitors, and calm
Not only a great arm wrestler, but also a great speaker who gave very good speech. Humble, friendly and inspiring, well done John
Dear John. Your professionalism in the (arm) sport, together with your humble spirit have a mission to other people. May God bless you!
It's very obvious John is an intelligent man and easily stays humble knowing he's the best of all time. Also, who the hell is slamming doors and opening squeaky windows in the background; is that Travis?
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
John makes a juiced up or not man look ordinary. He is simply the GOAT!!🍻 Cheers!
No dislikes !!! which clearly proved how amazing John is
me too :D
Ahahahahahahaha
John Brzenk in is prime was unbeatable.
He only ever lost as he got older.
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
humble guy, has class and the GOAT !
total class i love this guy
Always nice to listen to a decent human being. Followed him for a while and yes indeed he is one of the best! What a great personality.
he looks pretty young for almost 50 years
He's... in a word... AMAZING..!
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
Arm wrestling and John is the most interesting thing I came upon recently. Hope I can meet John one day.
Don't sweat it John, you have proven yourself more than enough times to be the best there is. You are a legend. End of (that very particular) story
John is the man. Such a nice guy on camera and in person.
I'm greatly inspired by athletes who are the best in their sports and who are also humble and classy at the same time. Brzenk, Federer, Fedor, Tendulkar. GOATs and such marvelous beings
if there's sainthood in sports, the guy in white is Saint John.
wiz karipas LOL...Sheeeeet!
moscar9128 Just say you agree, man.
Truly humble guy. Great ambassador for the sport.
Sorry John but you are a legend. You have touched so many lives changing people for the better. In my opinion you are armwrestling
0:08 is this guy in glasses Brzenk's lawyer?
Where's the arm wrestler?
Brilliant simple character
Congratulations for your succes
All respect buddy
My respect for him as increase even more after watching this..... he'll always be my favorite arm wrestler.
he's really like Clark Kent. there's a Superman behind those glasses and polite demeanor =)
What makes a champion is this guys mental strength.
Such a shame, probably, 975 out of 1000 Americans don’t even know who this guy is.
What a great guy and gentleman
Respect
So many casual fans do not realize that John is not a Heavyweight, even though he has beaten many of the absolute best Heavyweights. His Win Over Cyplenkov in 08 was absolutely epic
GARY Gwin that look he gave to the crowd was glorifying!
Probably my favorite match I've watched.
He said he won a tractor trailer in a competition called Over the Top with Sylvester Stallone.
💪💪💪
Kids need to look up to real sportsman like Brzenk.
The greatest of all-time. John Brzenk was/is better at arm-wrestling than Muhammad Ali was at boxing, Michael Jordan was at basketball, and Micheal Phelps was at swimming.
What about nadal at tennis?
That is an incredible strong man and an incredible white Shirt
john is champion
3 dislikes ???? 3 been smashed by john

I'm not saying he doesn't have big arms but I'm still wondering how he doesn't get his arms snapped by way larger oponents. This guy was and is unbelievable!

Did John ever take on Rick Zumwalt? Im such a huge fan of this guy...awesome and such a gentleman..
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.
