jross Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Yaz and Taylor would beat the pudgy, uninspired Sadulaev we just saw at 86 kg. A fit and inspired Sad beats everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribers Posted September 22, 2023 Author Share Posted September 22, 2023 If you're Sad, it's Taz or Yaz (and a really good american either way). I don't know about Sad's injury default, but it looked more likely Snyder could challenge Taz based on his arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scribers Posted September 22, 2023 Author Share Posted September 22, 2023 If Taylor can thump Sad for a second olympic gold, that would place him squarely into the USA-goat conversation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestleknownothing Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 The Sadulaev I saw looked like he was working on a move to 125, not 86. 5 2 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le duke Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 That was a THICC Sadulaev we saw. Like, bulk season Sadulaev. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spladle08 Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Yeah, cutting off an arm to wrestle Taylor/Yaz seems like a wild over-react. At 97 he's got Snyder: who he has a 1 sided rivalry with And Taz: who crushed clearly not 100% Thicculeav. I think he stays up, comes back in prime shape and likely wins Olympic Gold, over the great and Powerful Snyderman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribers Posted September 22, 2023 Author Share Posted September 22, 2023 So Taz is a one hit wonder? It looks to me like Sads is about to start collecting bronze medals at best if he can be bothered with consolations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not an expert, but can he reasonably hope to come back anywhere near 100% from this alleged injury in just 11 months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously top wrestlers stay in shape for the majority of the year. But I still get the vibe, it was similar to a UFC fighter taking a fight on short notice. He just didn't look ready... in any of his matches. *No crazy observations or anything. Just what I saw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takuto_Otoguro Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Too late now. But in 2017 I was of the opinion he should/could have stayed. He was not a monstrously big 86. But he's changed his body now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHROMEBIRD Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Is Sadulaev actively serving in the Russian military? If so he gets a pass until he can focus on wrestling. But the topic is a reminder that Sadz is actually a bit of a tweener. Would probably have been a 92kg guy if it was an Oly weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no don't dare bring that up. 57/65/74/86/97/125 are the chosen weights for a reason. Did you know that John Smith, a legendary American Cowboy from a previous generation, found them inscribed on golden tablets in the ancient caves of Fila. Declaring himself the chosen one, he presented his mythical findings to his deacons at the village of Lausanne, SUI. As a result he was declared a Prophet of United World Wrestling and his lineage leads the Church of Tweener Gripes of Latter Day Weights. The most prominent of his kin, Markus, was recently anointed bishop of one of those Latter Day Weights where his flock presented him with a medal of bronze in the city of Belgrade. 3 3 i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lleynor Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I have always wondered how things would've been for him at 86 and Yaz staying at 74. I think Sadulaev had to go up. But I think Yaz still looks like he could drop back to 74. As good as he is at 86, he was otherworldly at 74. That was his ideal weight, IMO.
