When this thread is done we should do pound per pound the best in each state and see who can hold both titles

IA is right for sure. Tomy Dixon is an animal. That boy has more hand and wrist control them you can imagine. Ne I would have to say I am because I have never lost to Scott (3-0). We will find out July 18 at the state games. If I can still take him. SD is right to Sonny is a bad man. I agree with Chris about Co if Matt decided to comeback he is unstoppable when he is trainning but sticking with Active pullers. I dont know how Chris does against Em, But I know Chris is the hungeriest puller in Co. So just on that along I give Co to Chris. Great thread I like the fact that there are smaller guys on the list. Thanks Kevin!! I haven't pulled Em in a really long time, so I couldn't say. I'm hoping to at least pull him in practice soon though. If I were to do a supermatch with Ryan, I'm pretty sure he would come out on top. His left is for sure his best, but right is definitely no joke. Plus his pulling style gives me fits. ;D I'm planning on getting some revenge on Scott in a couple of weeks. I can't wait. He put me out both arms last year. I can guarantee that won't happen this year. Now off to the gym. ;D

Minnesota: Richard Lupkes Wisconsin: Razor Rau (maybe Paul Fisher, I have a video on my computer of Razor beating Paul righty at Wisconsin States 2008 but I don't know if Paul came back or not). South Dakota: Sonny Larson Iowa: Tom Dixon Missouri: Nick Zinna
I'm not gonna name ever state, I'm sure other people have mentioned other states already.

Chris, I don't know if Scott is going to Nationals. I went and practice with the guys in Omaha last month and no one was even talking about it. Scott"s weight was at 245 lbs. Scott's style is hard to get used to, But I actually like pulling him. That no load he does works for me. I think he has the best left in the state. Dwayne is right up there. But just hasn't been able to pull like he want sense he broke his thumb. Now if Tommy Dixon decides to get serious. Look out. I beat him inside that day. But he was sore and just pulled on Tuesday and this was Friday. I drove back up last week to practice just with Tommy because of how strong his hand is. And going slow hard pulls he ate my lunch. But at 18, cars and girls are more importen them armwrestling LOL. Keep training. You and Justen are top notch pullers. I may have to road trip that way next time for some practice.

Looking at your list, Indiana: Can Scott Ballinger beat Mike West? Cobra Rhodes beat Scott at the Kentucky Muscle but Scott's gotten better I think. Didn't he beat Sonny Larson at the Harley Pull?
The only puller I know from North Dakota, and he really isn't a pro, is Josh Lupkes, I don't know of anybody else... if there is nobody else then he is the best.
Oregon: Brandon Dye? Or Herman McCoy???
Washington: Steve Phipps. I know he's injured right now, but prior to the injury could Jacob Abbott beat him?

Va. is John Thornes or Rick Spencer or Shawn Turner Never heard of John Thornes or Rick Spencer not that I have lived in this state for that long but I have been pulling a while, I certainly know who Shawn Turner is.... he is a big powerful man, we have never pulled, but he might be a bit much for me, glad to try him out though, actually over the summer we might pull up at Dave Pattons house some time.

I still say Simon ;D But I am biased..lol
Kevin, you're up there with anyone in NE for sure IMO.. Tell Scott to get his ass to Nats.. ;D
Missouri goes to Nick Zinna...but if Britton Mathews ever decided to come back, he would take that spot IMO. That guy was a phenom, but sadly had alot of injury issues.

Washington: Steve Phipps. I know he's injured right now, but prior to the injury could Jacob Abbott beat him? I think Jacob might edge out Steve, so I would keep it the same. Maybe one of them will chime in and answer. But to the best of my knowledge Jacob would take it, from what ive heard from Steve anyway. Give me another year!!! LoL

Thanks Jeremy, Last year I broke my leg and missed half the year. Then tore my arm up at every tournament, No table time just gym time. I decided this year If I was going to pull I was going to have to travel just to practice. I have drove 4hrs one way to omaha twice in the past month and I think in a couple weeks I am going to fly out to Pittsburg to train with a couple of my buddies, After that. Maybe Russ, Chris and Justin will invite me out. Then back to omaha. Keep training hard. Right now you are the man to beat left handed

I hope he can make it, and make 220s. I wouldn't mind pulling Tom Dixon either, he looks wicked strong. We'll have to set something up and have you come down sometime. Pretty much any weekend works for me, I don't have a life, so my schedule is open as long as I'm not going to a tournament. ;D

James you must have been watching our left handed matches cuz tom hadnt been able to beat me right handed for the past 6 months. Now left handed was a much different story.... Rick at 150 lbs is ridiculous, he is pound for pound the best, but dont forget about brian thomas either, hes right there. Williie you are funny
