I agree with this. Z fans won't like it, but Brian is the best.

Are those not the exact same thing?

Agreed. When Pudz was around Z was not the man. I guess you could argue he wasn't peak Z yet though.

Any one could deadlift half a tonne if they used all the proteindynamix supplements ed does!

When people talk about Pudz they only seem to bring themselves to mention the split. Seem to forget that Pudz won two WSM before the split one of which probably remains the greatest performance in the history of the competition. Destroying a field that included 4 other past or future champs in 03.

For my money Shaw is already the best strongman ever. Just one of the best guys at everything. Almost impossible to pick out 6 events that wouldn't make him favourite for a comp. I don't think that's ever been the case before except perhaps Pudz at his peak.

Pudz is seriously underrated by some on here. His last Comp was WSM 09 and he placed second in a very heavy comp.

Pudz is the ultimate strongman- he looked awesome, and he was. Today they're mostly fat c**ts who all look 1 bigmac away from keeling over.

If I mention strongman to mates, they mention Pudz. He was an athlete for sure!

I always enjoy it when people try and discredit pudz physical strength but yet say kaz would compete with today's top guys.

Also, regarding shaw; really he has 4 outright wins and a tied 1st and z has 3 and a draw. To continually call z the greatest of all time maybe premature, or at least not going to last. Shaw will win it 6 times. Savickas has won 4 of 12 appearances to shaws 4 of 9.

It's not just WSM though that Z has conquered; he did very well in IFSA and very well in the Arnolds...

As it stands; he has more accolades than any other WSM competitor

But... Shaw is the next generation, as is Thor, Hall and a few others...

Z, has unfortunately hit his prime and is probably on course to retire very soon... Shaws there to take over, fighting all the way with Thor and Eddie IMO

Lucky for Z, isn't the same age. Z wouldn't of won near as much and Shaw would have far more accolades. Shaw is a stronger man!

Overall, Shaw is becoming better... But I wouldn't say he's stronger... Yet!

He's on a par with what Z was when he wasn't as injured, but Shaw, as far as I can recall, hasn;t out-squatted or out-pressed Z yet... 2 huge strongman disciplines... Until then...

But what about stones, truck pull, throwing, arm over arm, farmers/frame, dumbbell.

Shaw is great at everything now.

Strongman isn't powerlifting...
