    Well i have seen sparring footage of Eddie Hall in with Scott Lawson and Hughie Fury. I would be confident most people in this forum under 50 would beat him at boxing. He is shockingly bad.

    I'm relatively sure I've seen Eddie Hall in some video sparring before. Perhaps unsurprisingly he became very tired, very quickly.

    By all accounts Bjornsson was around 460 pounds for that deadlift yesterday. Fair play to them as the commitment to it must be absolutely immense but I think Hall had the right attitude. Get in, win it, get out, because too much of that stuff will kill you.

    Yeah I heard him in an interview saying your heart cant maintain that sort of size and effort for long so he isn't staying in the game till it kills him. Fair play

    I bet they would ! I would like to see Savannah Marshall fight the winner and punch them round the ring. Honestly Eddie Hall is too stiff to hit anything.

    Bjornson is just a far greater athlete than Hall, Hall was carrying a crazy amount if weight, eating so much food and putting crazy strain on his body to do that 500kg lift and he almost died from it and was laying on the floor bleeding out if his ears. Bjornson did 501 and made it look easy and was posing for photos and kissing his wife after.

    Hall had to do crazy **** to keep up with Bjornson who is just naturally way more gifted, I think bjornson knocks him out as well, he's broken halls record and wants to erase hall now

    I dont think they would
    If they are gonna make a mockery of the sport, there has to be a big profit at the end
    Hence the KSI nonsense

    Even Warren wouldnt touch this

    Hall is a gifted athlete but he had to work far harder to achieve in strongman as he was competing with giants of men. I kinda admire that more.

    It's insane how big some of them are. Eddie Hall is a bloke who is six foot three and weighs about 27 stone. He's by any measure a giant. Then you get people like Thor and Shaw and they make him look like a dwarf.

    I actually lost all respect for him when he quit international competition the minute he won WSM. At least defend your title once.

    Eddie is wasted lifting weights, I would much rather see him trying to eat America which is a tall order.

    I reckon Hall put 100% into winning that lone WSM and knows he still got a bit lucky to beat Bjornson, hall didn't have nothing left physically after that while bjornson had plenty in the tank.

    Hall did real well though but that Bjornson is just a once in two lifetimes type of athlete, hall did well to take one off him
