Member 5278, 94 posts SQ 170, BP 132.5, DL 220522.5 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | Why do powerlifters insist that Ed Coan is the greatest of all time and possibly the strongest human ever? I mean look, Inaba (little Japanese guy) has won the IPF world title more times than anyone else. Malanchiev, Stan Efferding, Don Reinhoudt etc have all totaled RAW almost as much as Ed's EQUIPPED total. There are also guys who have out-totaled his single ply total (Brian Siders etc). Finally in terms of wilks, there are a bunch of East European midgets who out-do him... So remind me why is Ed Coan the greatest powerlifter of all time? | ||

Member 5278, 94 posts SQ 170, BP 132.5, DL 220522.5 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | YES! BUT in a sport judged purely by numbers (total/wilks), surely its a lot easier to determine is better/stronger? | ||

 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22298 posts | I get a bit fed up with all these "who's the greatest" type debates. They always get heated. Does it really matter? It's only sport. | ||

Never said Z is the greatest strongman , just said he is the strongest . Z raised the level of the sport as noone else . | ||

Trolling aside, he is arguably the greatest but he is still competing. the greatest this that or the other is usually soemone who has retired from their chosen activity! | ||

Member 5278, 94 posts SQ 170, BP 132.5, DL 220522.5 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | WOW some interesting opinions. So the strongest ever strongman isn't the best or greatest... And the greatest powerlifter doesn't have to be the strongest. So its only a popularity contest??? | ||
