In Response To: Who is the strongest man (willie williams)

I am always perplexed with discussions compparing athletes from different era to determine, "Who is the best/Who is the strongest"?

While it's a interesting topic there never is a definitive answer. It equates to a dicussion of politics and/or religion. No answer is reached and no one changes thier mind.

What baffles me even more is the obsession of wanting to know exactly who is the best/strongert, what it the best training method, what is the best exercise, what is the best training equipment, etc.

What intrigues me evenmore is, "Why are people so obsessive in determining who/what is the best"?

I find it much easier to acknowledge and classify all the strongmen listed as elite athletes.
