These are all national champions left handed. I've never seen them pull one another, but I know they are all beasts. I think it'd make for a killer supermatch, considering left handed armwrestlers don't get near as much attention as right handed armwrestlers. Vote for who you think would win!!!  |

I train with Plyler, and he is sick strong left handed. I can't imagine anyone under 189 lbs. beating him. I've pulled Rick, and he is crazy strong too......I really think a supermatch is needed.

Left handed is not my bag, but Rick S beat Roman T one time in SA lefty and has finished in the money left at every worlds I have been to.

Okay,Im gonna have to eliminate Norm from this supermatch, simply because Robert Plyler beat him at nationals last weekend. Norm is a great puller, no doubt, but not on Plyler's level when it comes to left hand. My vote is for Plyler...I don't know if anyone has anything for him left handed in the 154 lb. class.

At 154 I'd go with Rick. If we go lower (138) I go with Benji F Dwyer.. I can't even touch Benji and my left Top Roll is Very Tuff..

Andrew, I'm gonna have to go with my boy Robert Plyler as well. Not to say that it would.nt be an interesting supermatch. we all know that anyone can have a good day or a bad day at any given tournament. Robert Plyler is a young fellow with an amazing talent and my gosh is he strong.

Rick!
You don't eliminate Norm just because he lost last weekend to somebody...You can't win every time ( even Travis can't do that....LOL ), especially at his age!
I would love to see if the guys on this poll will still be pulling at his age, AND WINNING NATIONAL TITLES as well!

Mike Shalhoub is a very smart, technical and skilled armwrestler and would be able to at least stop Rick. Robert Plyer, I love his energy and his work ethic and loved practicing with him. He could probably put up a great fight inside with either one and if Norm were a few years back into his prime I would take him all day. But as of right now I would have to take Rick. He is probably just as strong as all of them inside and has the best hand in his class. I haven't seen Mike in a while but by all accounts he is stronger than ever now.
Joe Legasse has very good inside power as well and will probably be mentioned in the same breath as these guys in a few years.
Steven Lareau as well. Though I think Steve might outweigh these guys by a little right now. As for Benji, I have never beaten him in practice lefty so I know what scott is saying.

BTW Coletti: I just heated up a warm batch of Ralphy P's tomato sauce and I am now ready for your left. I am in the process of shedding 60 pounds so that I may too challenge you for the AAA title and simultaneously use my legs as dental floss (as Ralph's sauce does come with hearty veggies).
As not to upset Gary Roberts I will cease to get any further into my MODE
