Daniel Dubois is unbeaten....does that make him the heavyweight champion of the world ....without beating the top guys ? He has never beaten the top 3 left handed and although has beaten the likes of Larratt,Todd,Brzenk on the right hand....has also lost to them on the right hand as well. You keep referring to power......yes he probably is the most powerful....but power is only one facet of pulling.
-
I know what you meant mate,its just a basic top roll.....and yes by all means legal. There are lots of variations of top roll but they all involve hand control ( outside arm wrestling ) There are also lots of variation of hook which involves going bicep to bicep ( inside arm wrestling ) Theres a lot more going on than there looks.

You are talking about the Kings move Jobi.....Jiggy is asking about the clip above which is just a very basic top roll. I dont mean to sound like a dick mate but the Kings move is not just " basically locking your arm out " ?.......nobody has ever won an arm wrestling match with their arm locked out ? It is a highly technical move using full range of the supinators...anything other than a very experienced well versed puller under enough torque would blow their elbow tendons out .....Larratt is one of the few athletes who can pull equally well inside as outside and to do that it takes

You keep saying that mate but he hasnt beaten the 3 top left handers in the world ?......and he is in the rankings.
-
Its a very basic top roll,peeling through the hand of your opponent.....Believe it or not Devon is being very careful not to hurt Bjornsson in this clip.....its very easy for the big powerful guys who dont know arm wrestling to get hurt going against proper arm wrestlers.

Your schoolboy football banter is bordering on special needs.

Someone sent me this the other day Wilf.....we could get European football for all i care this picture is the highight of my season.....what an achievement i dont know how we did it ? Scroll in if your peepers aint too clever.
-
I know nothing about him mate the strongman stuff isnt really my thing,its a very different kind of strength to what interests me. This is how easy a top arm wrestler can deal with some of the worlds strongest men like Bjornsson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkkL-bAH8H4

The rankings are there for a reason mate Denis hasnt pulled in the biggest events......why should the kings move be banned it doesnt break any rules and actually takes an extremely high level of technical ability,knowledge and strength......regarding the loss to Denis...Devon has said since that he has beaten many guys who are 20% stronger than he is with pure technique alone,but that Denis was probably 30/35% stronger than him and it was too much to overcome.....he also said that to beat Denis he needs to get stronger,but as much as he loves the sport is not willing to die for it !....basical

The 3 best left handed pullers in the world you havent mentioned....Sagnashvili,Laletin and Bagent.....Cyplenkov has never pulled them. Nobody can claim to be the best when they can only win on 1 arm Levan Sagnashvili is ranked number 1 right and left arm. Personally i think the way Michael Todd has perfected the kings move Cyplenkov even back at his strongest will not have the levers to get around it....his only chance would be out of the strap but the majority of Todds matches go to straps. Larratt stating Denis is the most powerful puller he has faced means nothing about winn
-
Cyplenkov has never been " the best ".....he is not rated in the top 20 right handed and left handed is probably around 4 or 5.....he beat Larratt convincingly but is paying the price physically i personally dont think Denis will ever reach the world number 1. Levan Saginashvili and Michael Todd are the 2 best super heavyweights at this moment although Saginashvili was recently beaten by Eugeny Prudnik. To be considered the best you have to dominate the sport over a period of time and Denis Cyplenkov has never done that.....the greatest arm wrestler who ever lived is without doubt Jo

Alek is referred to as schoolboy,he is a cracking prospect in the sport but has never pulled any of the bigger names yet....his older brother Alex who is referred to as Toproll has made an impression and beaten some decent names,his biggest match to date was against Justin Bishop which he lost 3 - 0....Justin is in the top 5 middleweights in the world....so for a couple of very ineperienced young lads they are doing great,travelling all round the world learning and becoming stronger.......arm wrestling is a sport that takes years and years to reach your full potential,to master techniques,deve

Are you aware of how many legal supplements there are available that contain performance enhancing drugs ? These are the problems sport is going to run into all the time that labs are light years ahead of testers.....and the reason labs are light years ahead of testers is because Canelo gets paid more to put his gumshield in for 3 minutes than Wada's annual testing budget.
-
What excuse ? If a substance is legal before testing....but becomes illegal after testing....what is an athlete to do ? I agree we are not far away from peds being given the green light.....its just how its done from a moralistic point.
-
If a fighter takes a LEGAL substance on January 1st Then gets tested on January 10th The legal substance that was taken then gets put on the BANNED substance list on January 17th And the sample then gets tested on January 31st and comes back as a failed test............vigilant or not its beyond a fighters control...and most would say an unfair process at best....a corrupt process at worst.

f**k me thats some good knowledge i didnt know what Stan was on about i thought he,d lost his marbles for a minute ?

With the investment gone into the club and the momentum they have from last year i think most Wolves fans will see anything less than another European spot a disappointment i think they are close to cracking the top 5. City and Liverpool again for me i can see things panning out similar to last year they are the only top clubs with stability. I think Utd will fall early.....Lampard will start well but they,ll fall away.....Arsenal will just be normal Arsenal....and i can see Spurs losing Poch at some point and slipping away late on. My little Hammers will hopefully bang in anot
-
You say that Mick but fighters have to earn their ranking they cant rely on a fight they had years previously.......Buster Douglas cant suddenly pitch up in the top 5 because he beat Mike Tyson.......Fury has not beaten a top 10 fighter in 5 years....and has only ever beaten 1 top 10 fighter in his entire career !!.....you sound like a proper boxing fan Mick yet you have clearly fallen into the trap set by managers/promoters these days where they want fans to pick sides.... be it a fighter,a tv channel or a governing body. The sport is no more corrupt than it ever was its just corrupt fro
-
Only ever seen them on the telly i feel quite jealous ?.....interesting little read cheers.
-
Nobody pays attention to the rankings of governing bodies anymore Mick they are just a tool to manoeuvre fighters into positions....the Ibf currently have Joshua number 6,Fury number 7........and Kabayel,Kownacki and Helenius numbers 3,4 and 5 ?.....most people use Boxrec as a general guide to position and Scwarz was ranked 56 !! Theres no way of dressing it up any different to what it is.....Bob Arum cannot make Fury fight certain opponents just because he,s bankrolling him the decision ultimately comes down to the fighter.....its a sad time in the sport where the " 0 " is everything,Jos
-
Yep fair point....what i meant was they end up being big box office based on their personality/entertainment instead of their fighting......Mcgregor/Mayweather being the perfect example.
-
I dont think its a poor comparison at all its 2 groups of people belittling their own character for financial gain.......i cant see any logic in the comparison between hunting and puppy peddling so i dont even know what to say to that......is there a shortage of dogs ?.....are dog homes not full to the brim with unwanted dogs across the entire country ?.....im not the most compassionate of people but having strolled around some of these rehoming places of late it really hits home what a disgrace the dog breeding game is,i find it hard to comprehend how or why you are trying to justify puppy pe -
Come on Mick you sound like a well read guy that keeps up with all the goings on,i like listening to your posts as you follow things i cant be arsed to follow.....but you cant give Fury another pass with this nonsense its an embarrassing match up that cannot be defended......its so laughable i dont know where to start,personally i think these kind of fights are a big risk to a mentally fragile fighter as you worry about the focus/motivation/desire.....its difficult to stay motivated for fights that you know are not going to be competitive,you lose your edge as a fighter....its just silly to ta

Ta for the link mate....not my cuppa tea all that weight pulling malarkey looks the same muggy shit they was doing 25 years ago with the same over conditioned crap dogs.....they are no smaller than standard staffords anyway.......i cant believe old uncle Ed is still knocking about he must be 107 by now !

Shes coming on mate....sprightly but steady thats the combination you want.
