Kaz admits: "Mariusz is better than me!"

"He trains just as hard, if not harder, certaintly for longer. Hes my favourite strongman and one of the best of all time".

I'd love to have seen tham compete against each other.

Reading between the lines..... For a guy as proud as Kaz to admit that someone trains harder than him....

He said it last night on a UK strongman show.

no he didn't, Kaz would never say such a thing, Bill has never had a problem admitting that someone is strong but he will say that he's the strongest man ever.

Why would i lie? I think they're both incredible athletes and an inspiration to eveyone thats serious about training. They both make a mockery of the bloated bufoons of the ifbb :-\

You are speculating. He never said anything close to that.

Anyone from the UK that watched it will confirm it. The show was hosted by former England rugby great Martin Bayfield.

even if Kaz himself said it he doesn't know what he's saying, Pudz could never handle the weight that Bill could on the squat, deadlift, bench press and shoulder press.

Maybe not, but it was cool to see Kaz giving such credit to Mariusz. He always comes across really well, not like some arrogant c unt like Phil 'natrual' Pfister.

I watched this show, the part you quoted was all he said. He never said, implied or "said between the lines" anything about Mariusz being better or stronger.  Reading between the lines Bill may have implied that Mariusz needed to train more than him even to be compatible thereby making Bill the more naturally strong.

Mariusz is a better overall athlete than Kaz and will most likely pass Kaz up and set a new record for strongman titles...Although, Kaz is and always will be a man among men with truly natural superhuman abilities...Kaz is still a monster to this day...

i do agree with you here that the American strongmen come off as arrogant for no reason, they're not that good compared with the Russians and Europeans.

Bill's answer machine says "This is Bill Kazmaier the Worlds Strongest Man" something to that effect.  I always thought it was funny.  Colemans message said something like it to except he put Mr. olympia.  I thought it funny that they would do that considering anyone who is calling them would know who they are.

Kaz was bigger and heavier thus a little stronger, just as some of the current guys have more pure power than Mariusz. He's comparable due to greater speed and agility.


Some of the best euro lifters have been excluded:


Prior to 2004, the IFSA was the only strongman series (And reg body) and the WSM contest was an extra owned by Met-Rx ,along with some other anual contests. Anyone in the IFSA series could apply. However in 2004 there was falling out between Met-rx and Douglas Edmonds (Scot) who is the President of The IFSA (who’s son Gregory is also a competing strongman). The dispute was over Mariusz Pudzianowski (Poland) who is Met-rx main sponsor and marketing tool. He tested positive for drugs in the 2004 WSM (which he won) after Edmonds changed the rules at the last minute. He was stripped of his title and banned from the IFSA for a year along with a few others. Met-rx became unhappy and started its own super strong man series. Starting in 2004 only those competing in their super strong man series could qualify for the WSM comp.

This has led to major problems for the athletes whose own sponsors will not allow them to compete in the Met-rx titles (As the sponsors themselves will have links with IFSA) However this is bound to even out over time and some are beginning to link up to Met-rx) But the bottom line is that The IFSA series is the most popular league, but the met-rx contests are viewed by millions and have historic value. Therefore the Strongmen have to choose between them. The pattern at the moment is that Most European Strongmen are in IFSA series and most American and Canadian are in super strong series. With a few exceptions.

The Split has also had an effect on the audiences as it’s really unclear who is stronger than who as many of the favorites don’t compete against each other. Many argue that Zydrunas Savickas (Lithuania) is the strongest man in the world as he has smashed many records and has won both the Arnold classic strongman comp for the last 4 years and the ISFA series for the last 2. However he has never won WSM (coming 2nd three times, twice to Pudzianowski) prior to 2004.. Mariusz Pudzianowski has won WSM 3 times (4 including his stripped title) but he has never beaten Savickas in the IFSA series. WSM is still a huge global event and is watched in nearly 80 countries, the athletes that appear on it seem to get better recognized and more fans world wide, however it has to be staid that the standard is getting easier because of the above and many people miss their favorites and long time competitors like Karlsen, Samuelsson and Bergmanis. It’s thought that with the easing competition Pudzianowski will continue to dominate it and shatter all records.

IFSA athletes include favorites Zydrunas Savickas, Raimonds Bergmanis, Vasyl Virastyuk, Svend Karlsen (ret), Magnus Samuelsson.

Pudz is a beast. Kaz was the original beast. Tough call.

Mariusz is the best athlete on the planet. He has everything, strength, speed, agility, flexibility, very fit. It is the product of true training methodology and AAS application. He is not fat like others strongmen, he has better physic than the majority of professional bbers and has Martial Arts Skills. How can this man be compared to anyone???

Is it true Mariusz is the former boxing champion of Poland?

After researching this topic today of who the strongest man ever was, I found a few threads that went on for a long time without really resolving anything.  So I have another question:

Who would win in a fight, Mariusz or Mike Tyson?  ???


If he trained for a year or two for a bit of boxing skill then I would say Mariusz. I know Tyson's washed up but right at this point in time he would probably win. Muscles do not a fighter make.

ok, this is where we get carried away with the nut hugging.

marius was NEVER 'the former boxing champion of poland' lmao

he was an amateur boxer and that's it. no great record.

he claimed he went into strong man because 'he didn't like getting hit'. now that says a lot considering he had been an AMATEUR boxer.

looking at him shadow boxing now with all that bulk in the way he would have A SNOW BALLS CHANCE IN HELL OF LASTING 20 SECONDS WITH EVEN PRESENT DAY TYSON.

he can't extend a right hand and he is WIDE open to the head and body. way too stiff and has ZERO protection for an uppercut (left or right).

hope that helps? ok, now back to strong man comps.

uk gold, you are full of shit. IN NO WAY WHATSOEVER DID BILL IMPLY/STATE/INTIMATE/OTHERWISE ANYTHING ABOUT MARIUS BEEN BETTER THAN HIM. he said that marius was ONE OF THE GREATS

hope that helps too.
