Is a gorilla stronger than:
​
-Louis Cyr, likely the greatest professional strongman of the 19th century (his greatest feat was probably when he restrained four draft horses simultaneously...is a gorilla's arms stronger than four large horses?)
-Angus MacAskill, a legendary Scottish-Canadian giant who was absurdly mighty (according to popular repute, he once carried around a 2,800 lb anchor)
-The Great Antonio (towed a 478 tonne train for 19.8 meters. Although towing a train is nothing akin to actually lifting it in any way)
​
I bet none of those guys could pick up a car in one hand.
