Michael Todd is the strongest armwrestler in the USA. He managed to pin down people like Denis Cyplenkow, Devon Larrat, Andrey Pushkar, or Dave Chaffey. The list is long. But recently, he’s vanished off the face of the earth, almost. More is heard of Dave Chaffee that of Todd. But Todd is not gone.

Being signed with UAL limits my ability to compete and Robert wants to save me for the show - says Michael Todd. - But I have decided to pull open tournament of UAL 8.

After the publishing of TOP 16 lists of contestants, almost everyone wondered where is Michael Todd? There are many versions of events.

My contract in UAL prohibited me from competing in the 16 – explains Todd.. - Of course I'd love to be involved.

This year, a few people from USA announce their start in the A1 tournament in Russia. Again, the question surfaced, why is Michael Todd not on the team? The answer is simple, though some won’t accept it. It’s the contract, it limits his moves. But Michael is still interested in the upcoming event.

I believe Chaffee is very strong and has a very good chance of winning the A1 but I do not believe in one on one arm wrestling I will beat anyone in the world – thinks Todd. - I believe John can become the #1 in his weight class but I don't believe he can regain the Overall in the World.

Michael Todd is cetain of his career. His love of armwrestling makes him more motivated and has huge goals. He keeps pushing onward.

I’m ready to take on anyone – says Michael with assurance. – I want to not only make money armwrestling, but also prove tot he world that I’m number 1.
