Having Pulled everyone on that list with some success minus Tim B and Greg B, Greg only in practice. I thought I would chime in..
First I have never seen Earl Wilson be dominated like he was against Tim by a man not named John Breznk or Travis Bagent. So I'll say Tim is the Favorite HOWEVER!
Ryan Espy Combination speed "Top Roll" and Power Best in this class and Decent hand control!
Rick Heiderbrecht Powerful Hand controle Might be first or second in this class good movement for a 6'8 360lbs man!
Mike Gould Up n Down when on can beat Earl, Ryan, Rick, Rob, Greg, Joe and Myself. When not on has lost to all the above mentioned! I personally think he can not beat Tim B but thats why they do the matches.
Rob Gram Fastest Hook puller in the class. In deep is the strongest in the class!
Earl Wilson Increadible hand strength just ask Tim B as that's how Earl beat Tim over in Italy extreamly intense and if he gets into his power good night! And is the only man on this list who has beaten everyone on it. and including Devon Larratt all be it many years ago, But still!
Greg Boyse Strongest forearm in the class good speed great drag hook lat pulling as well.
Last but not Least "Joe Gould" who may not be the strongest competitor in the class but is the overall best puller in this class as he can do everything well but lack of the top level power may prove difficult..However superior endurance I would not want to pull Joe in Later rounds especially if after a war you will lose to him!
Heres My two cents!
Tim 5-2
Ryan 5-2
Earl 4-3
Mike 4-3
Rob 3-4
Rick 3-4
Greg 2-5
Joe 2-5
Im not sure if the math adds up but whatever!
JUST EVERYONE KNOWS I FEEL I WOULD OF PLACE IN THE MIDDLE!

Grippler...
How do you say I am "overall best" (which I appreciate), but I'm going to go 2-5?
And, what success have you had against me? (0-11!)

foot in mouth, foot in mouth! lol. All good and proven pullers... and all are top national level pullers. One exception, Tim. He has a world class move, and will reletively remain strong as the others get into long battles. He will win. Earl will take 2nd.

my money is on Joe! Oh, and Grippler good predictions. However the strongest forearm belongs to the man from Conneticut. Its his back pressure that will have the field fighting for 2nd. His B preesure will obliterate gregs "massive" wrist flexion, and curl strenght.

Joel explain to me exactly how you came to that conclusion? Is it the many times you'v cranked me over in practice or have you seen team mates of mine play with me not named Devon.
Look I think someone who can and or has competed competitively with the both of us more recently should make that judgment. Anything else is just an Opinion rather then a factual analysis!

And Just for the record I have competed in 8 man pro round robins before and walked away with wins. And that was early in my career. If it wern't the fact that my job has me going on courses and other country's for a few month at a time I would be more active!

I just want someone to come out and pull me enough posturing! 9 man round robin gives each guy a well deserved break in that they get a one round bye. I would be competitive in the round robin as i have never been shut out of an event aside from the battle of the capital 2005 my second event ever!

Saying you never have been shut out, except once, is the same as saying you have had some success, when you`ve had no success!
