Why Janis Amolins? Engin ranks Janis Amolins 4 Engin ranks Anthony Dall'Antonia 7 Chad would like to pull Janis. My personal reasons for wanting to see the match are because Janis is the best toproller in that weight class besides Chad in my opinion so I wanna see which one has the best hand and wrist. Im not sure about Zoloev and Taynov to start off with. That would be a very very tough match based on how Chad did with Roman. Im not saying Janis would be a walk in the park it would be a huge battle. Janis is a very very strong man. I think it could go 4-2 either way depending on who got the better control. How do you think that Chad would do with Zoloev?? Janis is 165lbs. & has actively avoided pulling Top higher weight class pullers ie. 176lb.

I guess all you newbies , don't remember Craig before he took a break for a few years. He's not a rookie. I don't know what his record is against Chad but, he has had very decisive wins on him. I think the last time they pulled Craig won. GNC Show of Strength in 2004, if I'm not mistaken. Craig also has a few wins on Crazy George and Craig was weighing about 165 lbs. No doubt Chad deserves his #1 Ranking in the US. Nothing but respect for him but, Craig is gonna be tough to hold back! I voted 3-1 for Craig. Aren't both of these guys listed to pull at Bill's mega match in Oct? This is not 2004 and neither are the same puller they were at that time, they pulled the same opponent inside of a few months, have very similar style, but one had a tuff time (and even lost) and the other didn't. This is not to discredit Tulliet but to give credit where it's due, nobody has looked even close to Chad so until that changes IMO nobody is close Both Snook and Jake Smith gave Tullier great matches

Aren't both of these guys listed to pull at Bill's mega match in Oct? I found this in a 2004 issue of "Arm Bender". I don't think it has anything to do with what a match between the two would be like today, but its interesting reading about the matches from 8 years ago. According to the article the matches went as followed. 1st match "Craig and Chad were placed in a referee's grip but slipped on the go with fast hits. Craig hit on the go taking Chad half way over and took control of Chad's hand. chad held while Craig poured on the pressure. Repositioning and a hit took Chad below the pad."2nd match" Craig hit on the go, taking Chads hand. Chad pulled back and grips slipped. In the strap, Craig hit back pressuring Chad across the table and taking his hand. One hit took Chad within an inch of pin but Chad held. Craig hit two more times for the pin and win.

Corey is the total package. He might get a win on Tullier but unlikely on Chad.

after watching both pull last saturday...I'm easily a FAN!
RIGHT hand....I'd give the edge to Chad, he just seems to be the complete package and unstoppable force. with all due respect to Tullier he's a very close second to Chad.
I think it'd go 3-0 but not without Chad having to stop and control Tullier's hit...(not an easy feat)

Both are top tier that's for sure. I'm partial to Craig since I trained with him back in the day. Until they pull in a 5 or 6 round match or one dominates 2-0 in a tournament against the other we're speculating.

Can Chad cut to 171? Yikes, that's light for him.

Yeah he can make 171 if he has too. He can make 165 if the money is right
