New All Time WR 242lbs Class...

[kazman68]

I wouldn't go as far to calling Dan Green the next Ed Coan. Remember Coan won IPF Worlds in 4 different weight classes (185, 198, 220, and 242lbs).

From what I know and have been told Dan Green's weight sits around 250lbs. He could make a push for the 275lbs class but than he'd be going after Stan Efferding's WR of 2320lbs (or something like that). I don't think he could drop down to the 198lbs class. I would like to see Dan Green go after the 275lbs record. If he did that he would certainly cement his place in history b/c few have been able to accomplish such a feat.

Ok, I jumped the gun your right...I have had a few drinks and may have exaggerated, but anyone moving that kind of weight raw deserves mad respect. I guess I should have said we MAY have a lifter that may approach Coan's caliber. No insult intended Mr.Coan. I did have the privilege of meeting him years ago.

No worries. And don't get me wrong either, Dan Green has cemented his place in PLing history with 2 WR's in 2 weight classes at the same time.

I'm a bit jealous that you've met Ed Coan. He is definitely someone I'd like to sit down and have a coffee with so I could pick hi brain.

Didn't really get to talk to him, I saw him at the Arnold when I was working with Roger and Sandy at there display booth. Quick hand shake and the usual your an inspiration etc...

I met both of them this past Arnold. I was in the Cage with them. Sucks Dan was injured and couldnt lift. He is a very humble guy as well. Ed was cool to meet and very nice. He has a huge following and for him to stop and chat for just a minute is bad ass in itself. Dan is already in the books like you said SS, and has a long future ahead of him!
