Sorry to bust anyone's image of Pudzi, but he doesn't stand a chance against the top guys in the IFSA when it's heavy events and not just stamina and sprinting.
The two best strongmen in the world today are easily Savickas and Mikhail Koklyaev. Koklyaev tied Savickas into the final event at the IFSA World Championships in Reykjavik, where Savickas set a new world record.
Mikhail Koklyaev also has pulled a raw 880 lbs deadlift, belt only. The guy is a monster.
Both Savickas and Koklyaev did 10 reps with 320 kg's (approx 711 lbs) in the deadlift for reps contest. I'm sure Pudzi could probably get maybe 4 or 5 with that weight. If he's lucky.
When it comes to stamina and light ass events, Pudzi rules supreme however. That's why I consider WSM a piece of shit contest these days, and the Arnold Classic the real test for who is the greatest strongman in the world.
