    Since when is Denmark better than Shoudt? That is disrespectful and uncalled for in the rankings. Shoudt is way better. Throw the Lefevres in since Mle ran out of names. Lmfao. Nothing but a joke.

    What’s more of a joke is some eaters ranked 30 to 46; that Seiken can crush even on a full stomach

    i can’t seem to find a single eater on this list that seiken can beat

    I see at least 8-9 eaters who can easily beat Brian Seiken. The legend Steakbellie, up and comer Andrew Kossuth, Mary Bowers, Bam, Dax, Damien and probably Tracy Goode. You still haven’t proven anything to those of us that still believe in the beautiful one.

    The stats talk. Stop making yourself out be a good eater. Stats don’t lie.

    Why the hell did the low-ranked eaters sign a contract that gives them nothing and restricts them? Dumb asses. MLE is a joke

    Erik Denmark in front of both Bob Shoudt and Adrian Morgan? What?

    Seiken in front of anyone? Does that mean that there are 3 people that are worse eaters? It just can’t be.

    Andrew Kossuth is the biggest joke that ever hit competitive eating. Ranking him 6 spots ahead of Seiken when he could barely get down 12 hot dogs is a joke beyond belief

    Ummm, Bob Shoudt is no joke. That guys capacity is ridiculous and he can eat with the best of him. Definitely should be top 5 for fucks sake.

    I think shoudt was dropped because he played these little cat and mouse games with Nathan’s qualifiers sitting out Nathan’s circuit because he got screwed in corn contest with conti

    Beside top 17 the rest should be eating with APE

    Did dax ginger ever beat Seiken in anything? Please someone set up an eatoff between them

    BOB wasn’t dropped; he is still ranked. Plus, MLE rankings don’t just reflect eating ability; they also reflect inactivity (e.g. Ben Monson in the past). BOB hasn’t been that active lately, and he skipped Nathan’s. His ranking is appropriate.

    OK, I know I’ve been out of it awhile, but why is Badlands Booker not ranked?

    You are a moron with an extreme lack of intelligence to assume without proof. Its your opinion as to who can easily beat Seiken but until they knock him off at the table its unfair to give anyone the benefit of the doubt just because you dislike the guy. Out of the names mentioned three of them never even faced Seiken at the table and the ones that faced him have never beaten him on multiple or single occasions with the exception of Steakbellie. Kossuth might have gotten lucky once.

    Sniffing to much Xmas scented candles are we? Your ability, or lack of, is pretty much known by now. Go do an event and beat some actual eaters and perhaps my perception of you will change for the better. Anyone can talk it up.
