Greg vs Bill was a good math up in May. Greg was about 20lbs heavier when you faced him Bill though. It might be a better match up for you now.

Nice Yankin John,
Greg is a great guy and has a been pullin for a long long time. I believe that he started to armwrestle in competitions when he was 16 or 17. He has beaten most of the heavies in Canada during this time and was the World Champion in St Louis at a WAF tournament in the late 90,s. Hopefully with these losses to you and the Grippler he will get back at it hard and redeem himself.Both you and Ian have made great strides in the last few years ,no doubt that your trainer and team has had a huge part in your succeses. I know that you two will win National championships as well as becoming recognized around the armwrestling world as some of Canads best.
Keep it up
John

WOW!! thanks John for the complements but I have to admit I fell off my chair when I read them as I was in shock that someone would put those feeling to a post. In response John I feel that to say will win is somewhat over positive statement LOL! As I see every year Ontario pullers getting stronger earlier and better earlier. This year John and I both placed 2nd in our divisions but speaking for myself hear really would I have been able if Earl Wilson or Greg boyse who pulled light but can come in as big as a house and or Rick H, throw in a healthy Mark Zalepa,Espey and Rob Grahm. And it could be two or three decades before I win one Mike Gould hasn't retired and let me be the first to say that Mike would of beat any man right handed in the country any category minus #1 ranked High hooker Take a look at the 220's 240's even worse for Johns chances not saying he can't or won't. Dan Kadlec, Eric Roussin,Jeff Slater, Hasan Monfils,Greg boyse, Mark Mcphail, Sawn Ross, Tyrell W-12 Christian Benard, Joe Gould George Gottschalk Andrew Scott Janek Kwias Antoine Dubreuil Wayde Graves Guy Windover Christian Gilbert Jeff King,
Can you say R U KIDDING ME! those men in the 220's 242 classes are mamoth men with outstanding skill even if they would let my 300 pound fat body in the class I doubt that anyone could say that it would be easy for me to win. I would have been honored to Finnish top 4 or 5 in any of those classes and yes I blended them because really everyone of those 220's could do well in 240's class.
Of course I have the belief in myself! and that anyone training with our team is and should do well hence Cam Clark's break out event a win on GEO GOTTS is amazing. I fell I will win one day but not unless I have taken an entire year of dedicated work and not just a couple of months hear and their!!
P.S. John Roberts is the man!!
