I think if Rustam at 189 lbs was in USA he would be ranked as high as 5th in all of North America which includes all heavy weights . Certainly top 10

[Ty Kissner]

i think anyone can be that dominate at 189 when their juiced to the hilt.......not saying rustam is but i would be inclined to think so....

Chandler nor Selearis nor Shane were ever going to pin me inside regardless, I tried to be smart maintain position and make sure I did not have to restart, Chandler had an easier day pulling than I did even though he pulled two classes both times I let him hit me making it harder than it should have been but the outcome was just as inevitable. They are all powerful men, and exceptional armwrestlers, but in there I am not worried.

Short version of this is yes maybe he can beat me inside that seems logical, but for the last two years Pascal has been able to get the strap with Rustam and not get blown off the table I think Pascal is an elite armwrestler so nothing against him but I have to feel given the pool of armwrestlers both of us have pulled if he can do that so can I. Then all I need is a hookers chance.

Time will tell.

Got to give my props to John. I pulled Harold Owens first and aside from the battle for set up was not a set back for me the first match. Losing the first round to John was partly my own fault. First and not smart thinking the same as all of you thought that I was going to beat John before pulling him .Second error I made was after I beleive having a little control of the match Then losing some when Johns tremendous hand strength rolled out my fingers some and flattening to bending my wrist.stupidly thinking of tring to get a restart I let my elbow come of the front ot the pad forgetting that in this org. that is not an automatic restart. ( How long have I been doing this).So while focussing more on tring to get my elbow back on the pad. John never missing an oppurtunity of someones mistakes. Jumped right in and just crushed me before I could even react. sending me back to Harold. If John stays to his game plan for Rustam My money has to be on John. Oh John did cheat. I heard he went off his diet friday night . P.S. John might have and probably would have beat me even without my little errors. They are in no way excuses Just the agonies of the battles.

Simon, no offense but Mr Babyev is way out of your league. inside or outside your out matched...u would first need to work on loosing that package you got on ur cheeks

djasur eliakberov from uzbekistan took second place to Babayev at WAF this year. Djasur has a crazy mean hook and is left hand dominant. Babayev just spanked him like a child. i dont think your hook on ur right is anywhere near djas's hook on the left hand. his hook is phenominal and Babayev made breakfast outa him.

in addition to Alex's opinions i must say that Rustam's right arm is stronger than his left arm that beat Aliekberov.

I guess that's a lesson to everyone... NEVER DOUBT JOHN BRZENK!!! ;D

I too though it was your day Ron, can't wait to see it.

Simon do you think you could beat Abbott inside? I would think now since you are a 198 you could feel confident pulling him on the inside. Just wondering? I'm not sure if you would put any of those guys up with him on the inside, but still the question remains if you think you could beat him.

Pascal could not stop Rustam when they pulled last time in Manchester.but Pascal was not the only man that got a fast pin by Babayev.in fact Pascal beat everyone except Babayev,fast in Manchester.i think Pascal just pinned but lost on fouls to Sharon Remez last week in their first match.i am sure that Pascal would be interested to pull a supermatch against you if the prize is enough for him to travel to US.

Alex some day if you get anywhere near my league then I will put a few more zero's behind, "just your opinion".

Engin is a student of the game a master of the history of this sport and the match up, not too many people can pull out who did what to whom as well as Engin, so don't get me wrong Engin none of this is personal, I understand my placement with him no question, I was simply talking about George when you brought up Rustam, to which I joking replied to, but in truth I want Rustam in a hook across the table from me, no question.

Engin I know you do not care for how George pulls I think you put too much effort into making your case against him though. I doubt anyone in this sport has a better win loss sheet than George does. There is something to be said for that.

[simon]

Well Matle I am not a 98, I am only 182 dressed this morning eating everything I can all the time, about the same size I was in Reno when I pulled 198 in Jan.

I would love to pull Jacob somewhere that would be fun, now that I am all the way across the country it may be hard to do unless he hits a major event somewhere.

[simon]

I am not interested in super matches I don't care for the format really, but I would be thrilled to pull Pascal at 176 in an event somewhere, I will only hit a few events this year due to work and a few may be international just because I want to really make them count so maybe something will happen.

[enginterzi]

i am not only a student of the game,trust me

i guess i put too much effort in this case because of disabling my right arm from performing 100% forever because of someone like George.everytime i see people pulling that way it just makes me feel sick.it is easier to have a good win loss sheet when you only pull in your back yard even though two years in a row foreign visitors were bad news even in his own back yard.can you imagine if he was pulling outside of the back yard every year? anyways,goodluck with your goals and i hope that you will beat Rustam Babayev inside whenever you meet him.

I can take Crazy Georges at 83 - 84 kg.... if he is interested

I would love to see that! He has a fused arm or some kind of birth thing that keeps his arm from going down. If he stops you at all he will win. If you can pop hem god bless!
