ultimate strongman World championships

Nobody dislikes Hall as much as I, but to claim one of the top strength athletes in the world isn't a good athlete is bonkers. Not as 'athletic'-a completely bland term anyway- as the other top guys perhaps-but not at all a athlete'? come on. Have you ever been around the larger MMA fighters? poor quality doughballs sring to mind with so many of these people, and yet they thrive due to weak fields.

AdamT said:Nothing against Hall, scary looking bloke and all that. But he would get a hammering by any good heavyweight.

He is strong at lifting weights, but someone like Brock Lesnar, or Cain Velasquez would manhandle him. Different kind of strength and obviously endurance too.

Cains endurance is amazing and tested to have a harder punch than any boxer ever tested on sports science.

Lesnar is a useless MMA fighter in skill terms-still a super poor striker, and yet his strength and wrestling has seen him earn 20 million dollars, al without having a personality to speak of. Cain is weak phsyicaly, with good cardio and good striking. Hall's supreme genetics and mindset would see him do well adapting to the multi discipline sport. Oli Thomposon has had a good career in MMA, despite not being half the strongman Hall is. Pudz has done better, despite starting later and refusing to bother to do anything other than stand and dirty box.
It's all hypothetical of course, but I always look at a lot f the top younger guys and think they are destroying their bodies for very little monetary reward.

You can't compare Pudz or Hall to Lesnar. Useless?? I would say Lesnar was decent enough.
He would absolutely man handle Pudz or Hall. It's a silly thing to even to debate.
If you're trolling, I salute you!!

Lesnar could take Hall down, pick him up and knock him out before Hall reacted to the takedown. Hall doesn't have those kind of explosive fibres like Lesnar does. Even at 140kg before wwe Lesnar was still fast as f**k and could do a shooting star press. That's natural athletism that can't really be trained.

He is a genetic freak, was 100kg shredded aged 16 with 18 inch arms. He would stomp in any sport in my opinion. At 185kg bodyweight he can still swim like a boss. He also has that mentality where he would never back down... And have you seen the size of his neck? Would be like trying to knock out a silverback ape
