Matti Hautakoski (Länttä) from Ullava, middle ostrobothnia.
Läntän Iso-Matti was known from his strength. Story tells that he once put Isontalon Antti in a hay carriage and that Antti was too afraid to come down from there. It seems to have been common that people from neighboring areas compared their strongest men to the southern ostrobothnian men.

Juha Passinen (Huhtamäki) in the early 1930’s. Notice the chin, it was slit with a knife in a fight.
Isoo-Antti tais tosiaan olla aika isoo. Mitkäköhän mahtoi olla miehen raamit?
They’d be inbred if folks at that time had ever heard of bread.
I’d rather call them troublemakers than knife fighters, because the other parties weren’t always even armed.
And their story was made famous in this song https://youtu.be/2Hc56u4E2Gg?si=JTfvvYiFXeEcIba4
Kankaanpään Jussi on kyllä aika pelottavan näkönen kaveri
