It's not as foregone conclusion as many make it out to be.
Too many people are awestruck by Pudzi's physique. He isn't even the best strongman, Savickas is.
Savickas doesn't compete in WSM, so they only meet at the Arnold, the true championship these days.
Regardless, in a comparison between Marunde and Pudzi, Marunde has one big advantage on Pudzi, his grip strength is crazy. He reps with the CoC #3 like it is nothing. He's also slightly taller.
Pudzi has Marunde on brute strength, and on speed. I think they're probably pretty even on stamina.
Pudzi still the better one, but Marunde should be able to beat Pudzi in a year or two IMO.
Savickas? He's unbeatable.
