Is Hooper formally within the G.O.A.T. dialog?
Final up to date on March 1st, 2025
2024 Strongest Man on Earth (SMoE) Mitchell Hooper has three-peated in Columbus, OH, on the 2025 Arnold Strongman Classic (ASC). The Canadian strongman, who claimed the World’s Strongest Man (WSM) title in 2023, has been on a legendary streak of podium finishes, together with three straight ASC victories.
Hooper’s third ASC crown ties him with four-time WSM champion Brian Shaw and 2018 WSM Hafthor Björnsson on the all-time ASC leaders record. Zydrunas Savickas nonetheless holds the file far and away with eight ASC titles (2003-08, 2014, 2016).
Hooper’s consistency has change into his trademark, which he’s displayed ever since he ranked eighth in his WSM debut in 2022.

“The Moose” is on one of many biggest streaks of podium finishes at elite-level contests within the sport’s historical past. He has completed on the rostrum in his final 23 straight elite contests — of these, he gained 15, silvered 4, and bronzed 4.
Hooper has gained each main title the game has to supply. Along with his SMoE, WSM, and three ASC titles, he’s the reigning two-time Rogue Strongman Invitational champion and the reigning Arnold Strongman Basic UK champion — a contest he first gained in 2022.
There may be little doubt that Hooper is presently the highest strongman on the planet. Given his constant resume, he can’t be denied some inclusion within the greatest-of-all-time (G.O.A.T.) dialog. Hooper is nowhere close to near the latter half of his strongman profession, and if he continues the present streak he’s on, we is perhaps witnessing an all-time nice dynasty within the making.
