Thank you for the great clip
Mariusz- World's strongest athlete
Big Z- World's strongest man
Fair comment mate
Accurate
Real
maruisz-5x wsm.
Big z- 4x wsm
@@jk23414 Why just compare WSM? Compare all of the strongman events and you'll see clearly that Z was the best of all time. No one has come anywhere near his accolades...
When you look at how competitive Mariusz was while being bodybuilder lean and 100lbs lighter than the competition, he's GREATLY underrated and underappreciated. *FACT*
true.
but what about jouko ahola.
@@fuolku1006 it's funny you mentioned him because about 20 min after I left my original comment I was thinking about how awesome a prime Mariusz vs a prime Jouko would be. Thanks!
The most important factor is not body mass per se but lean mass. Mariusz had a lot less fat but about the same amount if muscle mass. Although being fatter helps in some lifts in others it isn't as important.
Mariusz was my favorite of all time. Z was a freak too but as far as lean body mass and strength MP is the champ. He was also athletic strongman I’ve ever seen.
But it's open weight
So isn't that kinda irrelevant?
Mariusz the Dominator was like living statue of a STRONGMAN.
Athletic, aesthetic, powerful, shredded.
Complete beast. Such influence over me and many, many more ppl 👊💪
Absolutely!
Mariusz excelled at events thought up by ESPN executives that ESPN would bring ratings. 00s WSM was a joke big mans CrossFit games.
Events that actually tested strength like we saw at the Arnold Mariusz was maybe 6th best at his peak.
Ya nobody is arguing that if someone had to draw strongest man he would look like mariusz
@@chonzen1764 Arnold's event was just a single competition per year and required completely different approach to trainings. Pudz was the star of WSM. Why would he want to change anything?
It's like saying that Usain Bolt was not the best at running cause he never won any long distance run. See my point? You can't be great at everything.
@@dctPL If the Olympics scrapped the 100m would the winner of the 110m hurdles be considered the worlds fastest man?
WSM 00s was a joke for a reason. The events were designed by TV executives to get ratings not to actually test strength. Mariuz was the worlds fittest strongman not the worlds strongest man. He was never even close to being the worlds strongest man not even in his prime.
Did you not see him dump the tibmer carry at the Arnold after just a few steps while Big Z looked like he had a rocket in his ass?
Imagine how much stronger Mariusz could have been had he packed on another 50-100lbs of weight. Staying that lean made him extremely athletic and dominated the competition in many events, but you can see where Big Z took over in the mid 2000s when he started packing on weight. Both guys have done so much for the sport
Mariusz was an absolute specimen he brought in so many eyes to the sport, I'd go as far as to say the most important and influential strongman in history of the sport.Doesnt always get the credit he deserves.IMO he's still the most well rounded athelete in history of the sport.
He br6 me to the sport
Statically he is behind the 180kg monsters like Eddie and big Z but in motion him and Bill K are the GOATS especially lb for lb.
@@benjaminbushell I think you mean John Pall not Kaz
@@benjaminbushell People are quick to forget that Big Z spent the entire first half of his career being shut out by Maruisz. Before the split they both competed in 22 tournaments and Maruisz bested him 2:1. Z literally only placed 1st in an international competition one single time for Maruisz’s whole career.
Then Maruisz retires and Big Z can finally start winning tournaments and that somehow this overshadows Pudzians absolute dominance
@@WolfPackM98c you forget that Z and Pudz competed a lot against each other out of WSM and Pudz never came close...
Pudz dominated the WSM scene early to mid 2000s... But that was his time, he was then surpassed and he retired.
Big Z - Worlds Strongest Man
Mariusz - World's Fittest Strongman
Pudzy was never as statically strong as Z, but he was a far better mover at slightly lower weight, so when the competitions weren't ridiculously heavy, he smashed everyone. When the comps got up towards world record weights he tended not to perform quite as well as Z. Different guys. Different strengths and weaknesses. Both unbelievable strongmen.
But he still beats him in wsm and have the most wsm titles (5) explain that
WSM isn't a very heavy competition most of the time, or hasn't been, traditionally. It's got nothing on recent shows like the Shaw Classic and Rogue Invitational, which are very heavy indeed. Pudzy wouldn't have done so well in those.
@@weedmc2654 He does; but he has NO WHERE NEAR the accolades that Z has...
Pudz was an amazing WSM competitor and winner; but he never did well at all at any of the REALLY heavy comps such as the Arnold Classics etc; the realy strongman comps that separated the men from the boys
Pudz; probably the best WSM winner of all time; but Z is THE best strongman of all times
It's really as simple as that!
Mariusz whooped Z's ass at the Europe's Strongest Man finals 3 times.
@@roybatty- Yup; he beat Z... And?
No ones ever stated Pudz wasn't amazing; still doesn't mean he is the best of all time, but he's right up there...
Marius was an old fashioned WSM champion like Sigmasson, in the past, strongamn events was more speed/endurance oriented, In more recent times these events are more static/freal show oriented, and doubtless big Z is a Beast. It is very difficult to call the best, In my personal pow I prefer Marius, but considering nowadays standards Z is the perfect strongman.
Mariusz all day long. Shredded and 6 pack abs while being that strong. Truly one of a kind.
its about lifting weight not body type
@@craigjohnteare9259 Mariusz lifted weight just fine. Fine enough to be a multiple time world champion, by the way.
@@kuhen25 so did big Z
@@craigjohnteare9259 so? Who would want to be able to lift weight and look like shit, over being able to lift weight AND look good like Mariusz?
@@kuhen25 what they look like isint important they are there to see who is the strongest not who has the best Physique
If you watch Big Z’s early competitions, there is no indication of how dominant he was going to become, total respect for him a stuck to the task and learned and improved. Great video and a very fair comparison, thank you.
Thank's Sam, I agree, I remember watching BigZ competing against PudZ in and thinking this guy has no chance.......how wrong was I
He was always STRONG though
In terms of athletic ability, MP had the advantage, but in overall strength and achievements, Zydrunas takes it
"Had the advantage" comparing f1 to truck nice brain u Got there buddy
Z has more static strength, where as pudz has more overall physical and mental strength. As for achievements, idk if I'd say z has more. Pudz has the most wsm wins of all time, most European wins of all time, most super series wins of all time, most team wins of all time. All beating big z in those competitions. And biggest margin of victory in wsm, also in a year where he smoked big z.
@@thecensoredmuscle563big z has more arnold strongman classic titles which is the harder competition
It’s obvious big Z was stronger by a mile. Marius though was the ultimate world’s strongest man competitor
Looking forward to it. Thank you as always
You bet! Thanks Doug
Really enjoyed watching this video of an excellent battle between two greats. The quality of your videos is amaazing. Many thanks mate.
Thanks a million Ollie!
@@StrengthUniverse Thank you mate for the professionalism of your content that we all love watching.
Another interesting video, cheers. It tends to get very heated when these 2 are compared. I've always seen it as Big Z significantly stronger, but in terms of athletic strength, MP is probably the best ever.
Thanks Shep, Great point!
i think big Z on static , but Mariusz much faster on other trials
Could be
Farmer walk win by Z because it was a very heavy one. M is very fast in meddle
Mariusz faster on dynamic events under the WSM only. In other comps, he could barely walk with carried implements.
@@strongmanexpress755 That's because those events were made by Terry Todd. Todd knew how much weight made it a test of strength vs. a test of endurance. WSM at the time was events ESPN executives thought would bring ratings as such were not true tests of strength. 00s WSM was basically big mans crossfit games.
Awesome video. Thank you👍💪
Glad you liked it!
Only Pudzian left such an impression . Only Pudzian did so much for this discipline. Only Pudzian will be memorised forever.
Markus had explosive power and speed. Big Z was a static strength monster. Both are legends of strongman.
Pure weight moving ability wise, Z is the stronger of the two and probably the strongest of all time above Shaw. But Mariusz was far more athletic and well rounded to the WSM competition was well suited to him.
Mariusz is stillt the Record Holder for the most wsm titles
Video suggestion: How strong was O.D Wilson compared to Ray Williams.
fuck yes I would LOVE to see an O.D. Wilson comparison
Did anyone see MP's 3inch heels for the atlas stone's??? If there was an improvement in technical detail Mariuze was always the man to identify it and adapt he was very very clever when it came to events. His sharp mind and explosive power gave him the edge. I remember a pyramid event MP smashed and his technique was a total light bulb moment for Colin Bruce or whoever was commenting at the time.
Big Z's static power record speaks for its self an absolute Goat in any over head press event! 2 of the Greatest Worlds strongest men of all time👍🏻
Great video. Both amazing strongmen. Crazy to think big z still competes
Thanks again Doug. I wonder if anyone will be able to surpass BigZ
@@StrengthUniverse i can
@@romeoo5272 no one answered your comment fuckhead
Loved watching these two behemoths battle it out
Found this video bc I wanted to relive those moments
Big Z's shoulder strength is unreal, it's crazy watching him haul the Apollons Wheels up his body, showing just how cumbersome and heavy they are, only to then press them like it's a warm up weight for him.
Thank you, awesome video! :)
Thank you too! Appreciate you suggesting it
Based on this video it’s kinda hard to tell who’s the better one, but it seems to suggest that Mariusz might not have had five titles if he’d met Big Z earlier.
@@MatsVederhus sort of but if you look at the years they competed in and won, Mariusz was clearly the better in the first 3 years but didn’t improve much from them on while BigZ continued to improve consistently and didn’t peak until later. I think bigZ was the better strongman for a longer period of time but it does depend on the type of events in the competitions.
I've met Z and he is so nice so patient and so humble. I was surprised as I thought he would be much bigger than he was but maybe I'm bigger than I think I am. This meeting occurred in 2015
Big Z - No contest !! GOAT
Savickas the strongest man all time without hesitation. Pudzianowski better runner but not in static events.
What is somewhat sad, is pudz is the Greatest title holder winner of WSM, Just looking at him you would pick him in a lineup saying what a stature and figure head for the WSM competition but yet he is virtually NEVER mentioned or portrayed in the way he probably deserves, like him or hate him he was out to win every event and competition, he didn't save himself like other multiple title holders Brian was very good at that....
It would be nice to see a comparison between Pudz and the other.4 time winner, where exactly they stand in respect to placings and event wins, also who was the lowest ranking competitor to beat either, or who beat one but not the other...
E.g. Vytautas never beat Z but beat Brian...
I agree, his physique definitely inspired others and bought more interest to the sport
Big Z is clearly stronger than Marius in terms of power , but Marius could be the most agile, athletic , strongman who ever lived.
You mean z was stronger static, pudz definitely had more power, explosive power to be specific.
Arguably the two greatests ever. Big Z was undoubtedly stronger, one of the strongest athletes in history. Mariusz was faster, more agile and technical
I trust we have all seen Mariusz's recent 18 second KO ?!
What a Beast overall .
True athlete
Both of them are incredible !
Man, seeing a lot of those unconventional events from back then is nostalgic.
Mariusz wins another event not listed here: who beated the more mafia bosses
I wish there was info released about that
@@StrengthUniverse however there is info that some polish gang members stole Zydryunas Hummer (which he won at Arnold's) while he was in Poland (2009 or 2010 year)
Big Z - Zydrunas, is obviously a stronger man when it comes to pure strength... Marius is also strong, but his advantage is that he was fast and more athletic, and in his time the disciplines of the world's strongest man suited his physical abilities!
When it comes to standing and lifting a certain weight a foot off the ground then putting it back down. Z wins. But that's about it.
These two could be the… “Commonwealth” of strongmen, if you will.
Pudzianowski was an inspiration for many...true legend
I watched it when Geoff Capes and Jon Paul were rivals.
Mar proved u didn't need to be fat to be strong
Big Z said his secret was ice cream.
It should be big Z. I have just started to read his autobiography book.
probably the two greatest strongmen ever
Big Z the G.O.A.T. by a light-year!
For me, Bill Kazmaier is the greatest strength athlete of all time. He was so dominant in his era that he was excluded from competing to make the contest competitive again.
The strength of these guys are incredible
Now let’s see Chris Bumsted vs Calum Von Moger. Who is the real next Arnold?
Im slightly suspicious of Pudzianowski's supplement protocol, but assuming its legal it has to be said what he has done in his athletic career so far is absolutely mind boggling & its hard not to place him at the very top of the Greatest Athlete Of All Time list.
Once he retires from MMA Im half expecting him to become a pro golfer or some other leisurely old man sport like that n compete at a world class level in that too.
You should put Mateusz kieliszkowski up against someone.
That man is the best all-around strong man I saw compete he crushes almost every event with EZ.
He's similar to Mariusz even though I haven't really seen him compete but from the clips I watched he was a beast too.
To be fair they're very different aside from being polish
Granted both are very good at dynamic but different kinds mateusz being more of a tall man pudzian short
Mateusz is amazing overhead and at leg lifts pudzian struggled there. Mateusz struggled at deadlifts which were one of pudzians best lifts
Pound for pound, Mariusz I believe was stronger. 2 absolute legends!
Facts are very telling: Z won 8 Arnold Classics, the ultimate tests of raw strength in strongman. Pudz won none. .... N o n e. ... Not even close. I admire Pudz bigtime but Z is in a different league in terms of raw strength.
Pudz is the ronnie coleman of wsm event he won the most titles in history 5 wsm titles. Z won 4 ) how can you say this stupid shit this guy is literally legend
@@weedmc2654 I`m sure your math teacher isn`t a fan of your stgupid sh... :) You are deadwrong.... Pudz performed far below Z in max strength lifts for singles. Even at reps. Provably. 1 out of over a dozen examples: Pudz did not even press 205 kg/451 lbs log o n c e Z pressed it strictly f o u r tiomes with a reserve... That`s 4 classes better already at that level if you have any idea... That`s why Mr. Pudz never won the max strength contest numero uno in the world, the Arnold Strongman Classic in Columbus.
Strongman isn't powerlifting, a lot of people seem to just not get that.
The Arnold Classic is second fiddle to the WSM in strongman athletics, always has been. The reason a lot of the big guys switched to the Arnold was of course because they were more suited to maximal strength tests than actual strongman events, but also because they just couldn't keep up with Mariusz at the WSM, for as long as he was on his top shape they were never going to win.
Marius won less titles and lest world records then big z
Big z is strongest man ever lived
@@wolfganghasenmaier7500 you need to learn the difference between strength and power wsm isn’t a powerlifting event
Can you do thor vs shaw in strongman
I will be, just need to find the time to make it
Shaw is easily stronger at many events
Thor xant even do a farmers walk
@@bil.johnson_ lol Thor comes out on top as an athlete
@@simondean5227 definitely not #1 he loses many events
i don't care which is or was stronger, they got to be 2 of the most enjoyable strong men to watch compete
Pls make a Video about Markus Rühl!
Funny you mention that but I have spent about 2 hours this morning looking through his lifts but it's honestly very difficult to compare to say Ronnie because Markus always trained on Machines. I think I can compare then in maybe 5 lifts
Martin Lics and Hafthor would be fun to see
How about Lee haney vs Rich gaspari??? 💪💪🏿
i´d go with big Z, this is not a bodybuilding contest nor crossfit and Z was lifting not a little bit but much more than mariusz thats why the stronger guys are more dominant in the ASC than WSM
Big Z: dominant on absolute/max strength
Mariusz: dominant on dynamic strength and strength endurance
Big Z so strong my favorite was Jon Paul so strong for 330 best strong man ever
It's tough to compare guys who peaked at different times
They didn't peak at different times, pudz just dominated, and z couldn't start winning until pudz retired. They were like the same age, I think z is older and z started before pudz. Pudz only did strongman for like 9 years and retired early in his prime at like 30 or 31. Z pushed it out because with pudz out of the picture z could start winning.
Both guys were amazing strongmen Mariuz was very unique he was fast as well as strong and was defined as a bodybuilder but as Big z improved over the years he had better overall strength really you could make an argument about either guy ......thanks for the video
Does anyone else see that Marius is wearing boots that have like a 4 inch sole while doing the Atlas Stones? If you ask me, that means he doesn't have to lift as far over head because he is naturally shorter. Should have been recognized and looked into. Literally those things are Platform Shoes.
No worse than thor being tall.
If I remember right it's mentioned in the television shows of wsm. It probably was allowed
Now imagine powerbelly Mariusz !
This was such a biblical time.
For me, wsm was always about the obscure strength events, the giant stone carries, running a car along a circuit, fingels fingers etc etc whilst that style of competition was more common. Mariusz was without a shadow the greatest. But for sheer powerlifting power etc it has to be big Z. I think the reason this will never be settled is because you quite literally have to argue apples Vs oranges. There isn't really an event where they are equal to one another and that is very interesting
Carry and Drag was super close
Radoslav Petkov vs Taylor Atwood please
Hi Trifon, I'll see what I can do
💯💪
Unrelated, but have you guys seen Andrew Richard? This guy has a world class overhead press and barely any views on his channel
Mariusz was always my favorite strong man… most explosive and athletic overall! I give him the GOAT. Big Z and KAZ are tied for #2.
Controversial opinion mate, I like it
Mariusz was the best at speed events
Rostislav Petkov vs tayler atwood
0:22 Mariusz Pudzianowski said his peak weight was 145kg
Nice video. Just goes to show you can’t go by WSM titles to determine the greatest strongman.
Thank you and very true
Hopefully Big can get the weight down for retirement, He's really one of those nice guy's It's always sad to see the older guys that can't get the weight off with bad backs.
Can you take kevin levrone vs paul dillett
Mariusz lifts heavier considering he has a smaller frame, is considerably leaner and arguably the better conditioned of the two.
One can also make the case as far as top or high end strength, Zyd is stronger of the two. Mariusz would have been a heck of an NFL linebacker. Zyd would have been on my pass rush defensive line for nfl lol.
Big Z !!
Eddie hall vs krzysztof radzikowski or mateusz vs mikhail shivliakov
Mariusz vs Larry wheels
Would be interesting.
I'll second that. I think larry is probably staticly stronger, but Mariusz the better competitor? Would still love to see another well put together though.
3rd
These two were definitley my favorite along with Magnus Ver Magnussen.
Hello everybody, greetings from France !
Hello there!
Marius was better at dynamic events with medium weights over longer distances farmers walk and carry and drag but events like the truck pull overhead press deadlift and so on their is no replacement for displacement if marius would have put on 50 lbs and scrapped bodybuilding he could have been the goat
If there was a benchpress event, Mariusz would win. His bench is so strong it’s max is 290kg.
Big z has recorded 286kg benchpress
How in tf was Mariusz that lean but strong at the same time?
YEah!
Wow. No cherry picking here. Wonder how Mar even has won wsm? Great vid not cherry picking! Totally logit...
Thanks Chris, much appreciated
Pudzianowski all the way. Polska Gora 🇵🇱👍🏼
Mariusz is fitter, Zydrunas is stronger.
No strongman can squat more than Z.
Pudzianowski vs Larry Wheels would be a good comparison, similar size, body fat, and insanely strong
Pudzianowski weight more and in strongman he eat him
Larry would win in static gym lifts ., but Larry isn't built for strongman he has small joints and ankles . Pudzianowski has bigger frame overall with thicker wrists and ankles and will dominate Larry in all moving carry events and atlas stones.
Super Mario only weighed 275 lbs when started WSM gaining more weight throughout his career,but still not Big Z weight.
i bet if mariusz would have got down to 290-295 lbs ,maybe he could have gave the nfl a call playing dt or de, he might run in the 4.55-4.6 range
Pudzianowski was both! Strength + agility
Best Pudzianowski deadlift is 415 kg( no footage) and 410kg - footage.
But great job my friend!!
Thank you.
Mariuz was more well rounded but Big Z in terms of pure strength was stronger, both are legends nonetheless
8 Arnold Classics and 4 WSM. Big Z's strength was more comprehensive and time tested imvho. No disrespect to Pudz at all. He is the greatest WSM competitor of all time.
For me it will always be Mariusz even Big Z is stronger.
in nearly any event that involved agility and speed, mariusz was hands down the best, plus he had good power. However, he never had the best static strength and power and was shorter than most competitors. Phil Pfister put it to him one year......
Big Z without the Questions, save time on watch video.
