My money is on Bryon Thomas! He is ready and is on top of his game right now.

This is too much pressure Willie!!!!!!!!!!  Hell if I do not believe I can win, then why go? "Why not go out on a limb, isn't that where the fruit is?" Quote from Frank Scully American Newspaper Columnist 1892 to 1964 |

Sorry, Simon, if Jerry goes I will have to pull for him. Nothing against anyone listed.

Understood, I hope he does go, what is the point of pulling an event like this if you do not get the best possible pullers. To be honest if Jerry does go I say this class will be tougher than the one he pulled at the AAA Nats, no disrespect just stating an opinion.

Thank you Engin, It is a very tough crowd in this class, I am probably more mentioned just because I have made it known that I will be attending at this weight. I have jumped up two classes for this event but I have been pulling better than I ever have, in about a week we will found out if that is good enough to hang with these top US guys. I too hope the best man wins.

i have ideas to beat this guys but i dont know if its good idea to tell you something that your muscles may not be able to do it ,for you may not be trained them in the way of my suggestion.a good side pressure was the best way for me to beat RJ.you must have a good row power and hand to beat Thomas.i dont know how good your hook is,but as far as i heard Avants has a strong hook so stay away:).

I appreciate any tips from a puller as great as you Engin, I am in the process of making game plans for each right now, but at this point with these guys it is going to take just a lot of determination and willingness for me to put it all on the line just to stay on the table with them. I will give them everything I have and anything else that I can steal.

Thank you Mr. Cox, I always enjoy getting to see you at least once a year at this event or the worlds, it will be good to talk in person again.

I think it will be great to watch for sure..... I am rooting for Simon but he will have his hands full with Avants and Thomas

I think a healthy RJ would, but he just has surgery recently from what I hear and it might be difficult to pull off without his hand and wrist feeling strong.

I have to agree with James a healthy RJ should be a clear favorite. I have yet to hear if Avants is really going to go I hope he does, Bryon Thomas so I hear is really pulling well, and I have always thought a lot of him as a puller, this all should be quite interesting.
Thanks Chris, I know I will have my hands full but I will do everything I can to make these guys work to beat me.
I see two votes for "other", are those specific because someone knows of others coming? This is already shaping up to be a tough class, so more additions will really make this exciting.
