Brian Shaw
Brian Shaw won the World's Strongest Man competition four times, and his combination of exceptional size, standing 6-foot-8, and genuine technical proficiency across strongman's varied event formats made him one of the most dominant competitors of the 2010s. His sustained rivalry with fellow American strongman champion Hafthor Björnsson and Lithuanian competitor Žydrūnas Savickas throughout the 2010s produced some of the most closely followed competitive strongman events of that decade, as the sport's overall competitive depth continued to grow. Shaw's massive social media following, built through his own YouTube channel documenting his training and competition preparation, made him one of the strongman sport's most commercially significant ambassadors, extending the sport's visibility well beyond its traditional competition broadcasts. His combination of four World's Strongest Man titles and his significant role building the sport's broader online audience has made Shaw one of the most commercially and competitively significant figures in modern strongman competition.
VS
Eddie Hall
Eddie Hall won the World's Strongest Man competition in 2017, and his 2016 deadlift of 500 kilograms, becoming the first person in recorded history to lift half a metric ton, remains one of the most celebrated individual feats in the history of strength sports. His record-setting deadlift reportedly required such extreme physical exertion that Hall suffered a brain hemorrhage and burst blood vessels in his eyes during the successful attempt, reflecting the genuine physical risk involved in pursuing that specific milestone. Hall's rivalry with fellow British strongman Thor Björnsson (born Hafthor Björnsson) became one of the sport's most significant storylines, eventually leading to a nontraditional boxing match between the two strongmen that drew significant mainstream sports media attention beyond typical strongman competition coverage. His combination of a genuinely historic 500-kilogram deadlift and his World's Strongest Man championship has made Hall one of the most publicly recognizable strongman competitors of his generation, particularly within the United Kingdom.
