Everything in this video about John is spot on. There is one thing I never hear mentioned when talking about John's greatness and forgive me if it's mentioned in the earlier video you made and referenced in this one. That is that anytime I watch John pull he rarely if ever has fouls called against him. His arm wrestling game is so good and true that he never has to rely on lifting his elbow off the mat, false starting, trying to find a cheating grip or crawling under the table to perform the queens move to stay alive or gain and advantage. John's advantage like you said is his hard work, table I.Q. and flawless technique.

Absolutely spot on observation. John is and always be the GOAT. 40 years and still very very relevant. Thank you Mr Brzenk for your class and genuine humbleness. Atrue sportsman and great champion.

Absolutely amazing breakdown and mini documentary. There truly is no one like John Brzenk and to be honest, I don’t think there ever will be anyone close to JB in arm wrestling. He dominated his sport more than Jordan, Lebron, Brady, any sports figure you can think of, he was better at his sport than they were at theirs. Truly John Brzenk is the Greatest of all time.

Amen...thank you for this statement. Nobody in even a little close to John.

His versatility is what really sets him apart of other legends of the sport like Devon, Travis, Ron or Denis. Not just being literally unstoppable for almost three decades, but the way he was able to find a different key to every one of his opponents. He is in his own league. Truly THE GOAT.

Yes but not so much Devon. Devon is probably the most versatile arm wrestler of all time. But, his elbows blew out while he was on top. Another thing that’s impressive is that Devon has been champ and equally versatile with his left as well. With that being said, John is still GOAT with decades of consistently being on top.

John and denis 😊

His techniques exploiting whatever weakness or vulnerability of his opponent, and having no weakness himself is one way he was the unquestionable GOAT. Also his training and emphasis on practice with so many vs weight training. This is how he beat stronger men. So yes, he was the smartest at his sport. Fierce mental competitor also. Endurance too.

@@haagenneldeberg6787 so cheating a little bit to a level which is ignorable, bit by bit by bit until your elbow is clearly off the pad or atleast the lower bone of it making it hooked on the pad, tyring out your opponents who are renowned specifically for their stamina and pinning them in the end. Holding the hammer as if you are the most fair puller and then repeating it FOR MULTIPLE MATCHES for majority of carrer , doesn't deserve critisism 😑

Later on John came out in a video that he said that a doctor told him that he was born with over developed bicept tendon which makes his grip super strong and can easily arm wrestle people even bigger guys. Same for other famous arm wrestlers too who have been born with the same over developed bicep tendons. Its more of a gift !!!
