dragit Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 If he does move somewhere, I'd recommend he ship his stuff, not bring a car, and do wind sprints to wherever he's going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takuto_Otoguro Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 He doesn't have the tank to win world medals. Don't see how that changes if he represents a country where he can be lazy and still make the team with ease. I don't put any stock into a win over a completely washed Karimi at world cup.

PortaJohn Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 I'll be the first to suggest he go up to 92kg on non olympic years. yeah he'll be undersized but i think he can take out both Mach and Moore I Don't Agree With What I Posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand This is true, but I think he'll have more success against international competition than, for instance, Brooks. His issues are David Taylor and that Americans rely on conditioning, which is his kryptonite. I hope he joins his brother in Mexico. I think he has an excellent shot at a medal. Personally, I enjoy watching him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mspart Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 I think the point here is that they could go somewhere else and end up getting to the Olympics and World Championships.

bnwtwg Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Zahid going full fatty and dipping his toes into the 92 field at WTT. Talent can only go so far - I think a healthy Moore would rock his world, but he’s not healthy. I also wonder if he can hang with Jackson all 6 minutes. Anyways, your free stock market advice for the day is to invest in Golden Corral and Little Debbie then cash out hard on May 20. i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
