Does being the bigger athlete make you the arrogant one? Several viewers of Boxing Game's new compilation are pushing back on that premise, pointing to the sportsmanship of the strongmen and bodybuilders shown, particularly Brian Shaw.

The narrated compilation, titled "When Arrogant Bodybuilders Got Humiliated By Real Fighters!", brings together existing footage of boxing, MMA, arm wrestling and gym sparring. It has added roughly 160,000 views in a day, more than six times its usual daily pace, four days after publication.

Its most striking pairings include Shaw sharing the mat with Dustin Poirier and fitness influencer Ashton Hall attempting wrestling sparring with Arman Tsarukyan. Hall is repeatedly taken down; Poirier finds an armbar against Shaw despite the substantial size difference. These are sparring encounters, not newly staged professional bouts.

The distinction matters to the conversation beneath the video. Alongside remarks about technique overcoming muscle, commenters distinguish bodybuilding from strongman competition and argue that some participants accept defeat without the attitude the title suggests. The footage has a more varied cast than its single label allows: Devon Larratt's specialty is arm wrestling, while Mariusz Pudzianowski brought a strongman championship career into MMA.

Tyson remains another major draw on Boxing Game. Its September upload "When they Put Young Mike Tyson against The Smash Machine" has passed ten million views. That retrospective revisits Tyson's two bouts with Donovan "Razor" Ruddock in 1991, giving the channel a substantial boxing-history milestone alongside its strength-versus-skill compilation.

What viewers say

In all fairness... some of these big guys were pretty humble, especially in defeat.

there's a difference between a bodybuilder and someone who competes in strongman

Brian Shaw is the most humble guy going. You can't say anything bad about him.
