Nigger, Ed Coan broke 71 world records and he still holds four of them, after over twenty years:

Want another name? Louis Cyr. 5'10, strongest man in the world at the time. He was so strong that Bill Kazmaier used him as a benchmark for what lifts he had to surpass.
>Yeah, but no CURRENT strongmen is smaller than 6'4, germancuck!
Oh, really? Let's look at the guys who actually won WSM:
Vasyl Virastyuk: 6'3
Big Z: 6'3, won four times
Jamie Reeves: 6'3
Magnus Ver Magnusson: 6'3, won four times
Jon Pall Sigmarsson: 6'3, won four times
Bill Kazmaier: 6'25, let's round that up to 6'3; he won three times, made WSM big and would've won more times if he hadn't been banned for utterly dominating the contest
Svend Karlsen: 6'2,
Bruce Wilhelm: 6'2, two times
Jouko Ahola: 6'1, two times
Mariusz Pudzianowski: 6'1, won FIVE times
Gary Taylor: 6'0
I think that's 29 annual champion titles, held by guys who never should've even considered competing as strongmen. The WSM-contest has been held since 1977, but was not held in 1987. So there were 37 contests, if my math hasn't failed me. 29 of which were won by guys that you and the amerifat would've discouraged from competing.
>B-but muh Hafthór!
Hafthór hasn't won a single WSM-contest. Most of his fame stems from his role in Game of Thrones. Hate to say it, but he's a memelifter. Still an extremely accomplished one, and he might well become the mightiest one to ever walk the earth, but nevertheless a memelifter.
>Muh deadlift world record!
The raw record is held by Benedikt Magnusson, at 461 kg. That's just 2kg less than Eddie Hall lifted, and Eddie Hall used straps. It's a lot more than what Hafthór lifted, and Hafthór was hitching his lift like a maniac, whereas Benny casually lifted the barbell up and just struggled a little with the lockout. Benny is 6'0.
