Bolt has a world record because the IAAF is the sole governing body for international athletics, and all national federations adhere to it.

Different example.

Powerlifting does have all time bests, as noted on Powerlifting Watch, but they are from many feds with different rules.

Would the best WPC lifters do the same performances in the IPF, hell no.

Not all feds use the same gear either - IPF doesn't use a monolift for example, and the rules about squat depth or knee wraps etc vary from fed to fed.

Too bad the 'actual' world record was done in the USPF which was the IPF body in the USA at the time of this lift huh!
 
yes, but IPF has listed new world records, at least for classic.

I don't dispute best all-time lifts, but world records can be changed for whole lot of reasons

In powerliftng, with 9 international feds, hard to measure up best performance with so many variables.

In 1970s when one fed, no such difficulty.

What are the rules of the descent of the deadlift. Not taking away from the lift, but how many lifts have been red lighted because of a stumble after a successful squat, or a small shuffle on the feet once the bench has been initiated.
 
It's at least slightly more intelligent than the "HURR CHING CHONG CHINA MAN" bullshit
