No strikes or tripping allowed.
Contestants must maintain handholds on each other at all time.
Ring is 10 feet in diameter.
Win is accrued by any proof of pure physical strength superiority,
i.e. forcing a ring out, forcing opponents hands behind their back despite their active resistance, breaking the bones of the opponents hand, submission, etcetera.
Contest inspired by someone recently posting the following:
I suppose that's a reasonably good way of putting it, save I'm not even the least bit interested in the skill level involved, just how Slade's physical strength stacks up to the competition here.
Initially, I was especially interested in how Slade stacks up to #7 through #10. Now, having perused through some of the feats in his respect thread, however, I'm thinking he may not even need gloves to compete with #s 11 through 14 -- Slade's a LOT stronger than I realized before today ...
Did Slade get a power-up recently or is he still around Cap's level?

I don't know why some of you are going on about being right and winning. Rob and Impediment were in on this gag because I PMed them. Silent and Rao PMed me and figured I changed the post. I highly doubt anybody thought Quan made the post, but simply played along just for the lulz.
Suspect I haven't seen enough Captain America strength feats to make an accurate determination.
But I've seen Deathstoke kick a thick metal door off its hinges, something that seems the province of, say, 1938 Superman, and I've seen him win an impromptu tug-of-war with Donna Troy.
Donna Troy.
As in "sister of Wonder Woman".
Donna Troy, who was strong enough to do the following even in her earliest Teen Titans days:
According to her thought bubbles. she lost her footing...sounds more like he surprised her by pulling on the lasso.

As for the door, I've seen Cap take down one of the type Slade faces only with the help of Wolverine in Secret Wars (when, after tremors and upheaval, Cap must work with him to free prisoners trapped in their cells).
Cap needs his shield or the aid of Wolverine's claws to do the work.
This must be relatively recent, for everything I've seen of Cap to date, save for a double-team retcon effort where he and Spider-man managed to knock out the Hulk with shield strikes, etcetera,
has had Cap stronger than the average person, but far weaker than classic Kingpin or classic Luke Cage, both of the latter being merely 300+ pound guys of solid muscle.
Let's quantify this a bit better, then.
Does Cap have anything to match or top Kingpin's shoving match here ... ?
