I'd argue that Brzenk never realised 100% of his potential since he never really trained in the gym. He pretty much always did only table time. Almost never training his muscles. Had he done that like many Eastern athletes do, I'm sure he would be even more dominant.

The thing with John that separates him from most USA pullers is-his relentless and endless drive to win he is like a genius at attacking his competitors weaknesses. Devon does that just as well. Devon has a lot more personality which makes him so much more popular, but John has one thing that I wish Devon had and that’s control of his emotions. Sometimes it takes away from just how good he really is.

Love hearing that OG stories, our elders have so much more to offer us than we think. Listen...Levan, Ermes, Devon(younger), all very strong guys but I saw John Brzenk at like 50 or so and was out of shape pull hammer grip 92kgs with relative ease, I don't even think Denis was doing that in his prime guerilla days. Remember John was an airline mechanic too, he got that trade strength also.
