Muhammad Ali the boxer said "I am the greatest of all time" to which Chicago columnist Mike Royko did editorial on the 14th century Bulgarian boxer "Quick Death" he killed every opponent with 1 blow govt stopped fights for fear Turks would invade his skeleton was found---7 footer. Same for arm wrestling--try Maximinus 8'6" Emperor of Rome wore bracelet as ring Tom Topham men danced on his arms. The greatest is usually someone from the past. Can it be proved? No but I STRONGLY suspect!!
@skirts365 type, "bulgarian boxer quick death" and the only article that comes up is the one Mike Royko did. It sounds like a work of fiction, but a very entertaining read.
@gman22guns Yes it's only reference I've found however next place to "look" would be Bulgarian sources and maybe Ottoman Turk "stories." Bum deal that men of old can't go against today's best. Because there are genetic marvels on rare instances. But as for M. Ali, looks like Tim Sylvia could have cleaned his plow.
@gman22guns Royko has been deceased for some time. If no other references can be located to support his editorial, he's in disgrace. If anyone would know, the Bulgarians should.
@skirts365 I Am seriously tired of this bullshit. I've seen the same stupid fairy tale from several other videos' comment sections and honestly, just shut up.
@kaigreg Speculation as to ability of men in times past might hurt the ego of today's best, huh? There are no dinosaurs remaining, but a grizzly would be eaten by a T Rex. Go see another horror film.
@jougetsu There were a few specimens in the past who probably outclass anything seen today. There's ample documentation from Herodian about Maximinus. Topham has a book written on him, "Strength Proved." It's corroborated by a medical doctor that his voice was so deep he barely sounded human--excessive testosterone = excessive strength. On autopsy, his tendons & ligaments were 3x the thickness of average, yielding much more leverage. Yeah, he could have slammed any of our greats down fast.
@skirts365 you do know that bodybuilder inject testosterone ? more than 5-10x the human body produces. and they take other stuff (androgenic) for strength, like trenbolone etc and human growth hormone for tissue growth
oh and herodian was a poet, not a scientist. same goes for medical doctors, they´re not scientists, they only apply science that was invented by real scientists like chemists, physicist and biologists.
yes there are people who were born stronger , but they´re not mutants.
@jougetsu It sounds like you're reasoning, but you're NOT--you're nay-saying only! YOU summoned up the term "mutant," I only said "outclass!" People who observed events long ago knew them better than you. My inference on Herodian was "historian," you distorted to "scientist." You're like a person who removes labels from cans of corn and replaces them with bean can labels. No more use talking to you. No way could Kazmaier, Voevoda, Alexeev etc have beaten Topham at anything.
@skirts365 i´m sorry. you´re right, back then people could shoot fireballs, defeat gods and lift heaven. remember the titans ? they really lived, but humanity is just trying to hide it.
come on, you´re saying testosterone = strength, i´ll tell you that´s wrong. you say tom topham, i say a regular strongman who lifted heavy weights without training in modern weightlifting. sure you´re free to exaggerate (everyones allowed to dream) but i know what´s possible and what not.
@jougetsu Tell it to the Vatican Museum where they have on display a statue of that great specimen. For more recent history, try Mills Darden 1798-1857, a foot shorter but over 1,000 pounds and not just a fat man. Some exceptional specimens appear rarely across the pages of history. People, disregard what he said about shooting fireballs, extrapolating what was said till it becomes absurd is a long discredited desperation attempt to win a debate. 1 strike kills are well documented events.
@skirts365 sorry, you're coming up with statues standing at the vatican museum. you know there are statues of angels, have you ever seen one flying around? and again you come up with a name who's supposed to be a giant, but sadly he's never been officially measured. i'm not saying human with excessive growth due to gh dysfunction dont exist, i'm just saying that giants dont. oh and i can kill people with a single strike too. just aim for the throat. or have a 200 pounds man beat a newborn child.
@jougetsu Google "one punch kill" it isn't only babies who've died from one punch---jougetsu is NOT a realist, he's a professional nay-sayer. Bob Wadlow died in 1940 he stood 8 feet 11 inches and had size 37AA shoe,, Maximinus is alleged to have been 5 inches LESS--so his height and size was possible. It only takes overactive growth hormones. References to mystical beings (angels) do NOT discredit historical accounts of ACTUAL people. Museums will NOT throw out artworks due to STUPID folks!!
@skirts365 unless you punch the heart at the right time or you beat someone with very low weight and untrained while you weigh 4x-5x as much its not possible to kill someone with one punch. where exactly do you have to punch ? i used to be a boxer, european champion, i´ve seen many things happen, i know what´s possible
i´ve read your channel and some comments, you seem like a guy i usually agree with, but not on this point sorry. and none of the one hit kill videos have any proof at all.
@jougetsu If you hit someone hard enough on the back of the head. I doubt it could be done with boxing gloves unless the victim is a very young child.
i guess my favourite arm wrestlers ever is rank 1 for brzenk for sure .. rank 2 for larratt and goodridge ( the big daddy ) .. rank 3 for voevoda and cyplenkov .. rank 4 for ron bath .. rank 5 for fisher ... well thats only my opinion
He might be my second favorite, too. I like Ron Bath and Andrey Pushkar, and Allen Fisher. Can't say who I like the best really cause I haven't met any of them! Have you?
yeah, i think he is about 235-240 here, i think he bulked up to like 245-250. imagine if he was 255!
