As I've argued in lots of these threads, I've got Dake as my best ever because no redshirt (won a title nine months after being a high school student), beat three different champs and a terrific wrestler (2x finalist, probably should have been 3x but for refs) in his finals, well in control of all his NCAA matches, went up a weight and went 3-0 against the defending and future Hodge winner, etc. Though I've never understood why the usual first argument people make is the 4 weight classes in 4 years. It's a nice nugget, but it's more trivia than substance; he won four championships against people who weighed the same, it's not like he made weight at 141 the day he beat Taylor. ... Expand 100% this. Boxers used to go up in weight class without gaining weight to have multiple belts at the same time (Sugar Ray Leonard against Hagler for one notable example). Maybe there is some reflex memory is us old guys brains that automatically thinks going up in weight class is impressive 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Dake gained 25 pounds in college (all while having minimal body fat) shows he was really a kid when he won at 141. This observation is in line with him winning as a true freshman. When he won at 141, he was a a boy. When he won at 165 had gained grown man strength. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if a boxer held belts at more than one weight, fights are spread out by months. There is plenty of time to gain weight when you go up (or simply not cut) and to cut weight when you go down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"A 118"Well, I wouldn’t say everyone said that. Maybe some people thought that, but I sure didn’t. Most people in PA thought Lee would have tremendous success in college and he has certainly lived up to those expectations. I was just making the point that crazy things can happen. I think every single person in the state except Austin DeSanto thought Lee would win his 4th state title in HS. So I am rooting for Lee to win his 4th title this year and I think he will, but it’s premature to count it.
