  1. Oh we all know it's an advantage. Dake whined about it for years (after he would annually lose to Burroughs at the US Open)
  2. If Zane Richards wins AGAIN this weekend will everyone finally put some respect on his name?
  3. We aren't allowed to talk about it or the thread gets nuked.
  4. That was quite an evening. The suits were definitely on the phone with two specific people first thing the following morning.
  5. 1) I said Olympics are not worth more than worlds so learn to read before you use ten cent words with your penny keyboard. 2) Kolat has never been in GOAT discussion. 3) If you can't appreciate greatness because of the hardware downstairs then do you but Adeline Gray is the best American wrestler in my opinion. And you know what they say, opinions are like you.
  6. And he's a "soft" 240. He's going to have to find the very fine balance of big vs. quick and I think he finds it, the only question is how and when. He is going to be nasty for years to come.
  7. He knew he could lose. Call me old-fashioned when I want my GOATs to win.
  8. Smith won golds while losing at the Olympics. Maybe if she got the same opportunity I would have a different opinion. I also care significantly less about the Olympics versus worlds than most people due to the 4 year nature of the beast and don't even get me started on the lack of weight classes where Smith may have taken even more losses if he had to choose to go up or down.
  9. Hopke isn't going anywhere. You need to worry about Brandvold because he is the Casey Cunningham of Heavyweight U
  10. Those stalling calls in favor of a stalling chonk were atrocious even at the HS level. That loss never happens again even if Schunke changes his mind and keeps wrestling. Only one of them is going to end up with a man's body and it ain't Schunke.
  11. Agreed. She is on the path. But then again, so was Snyder...
  12. Hendrickson has a reallllly sexy draw at 125
  13. I don't care how good he is, Koy Hopke needs to redshirt. He's not going to win a title next year and the guys on the senior circuit aren't going anywhere. He should use the season to transform into a brickhouse and be in serious contention for 2-4 titles depending on how his development comes along.
  14. This conversation has/is playing out currently albeit at the senior level: Kyle Snyder vs. Sadulaev. And because of Sadulaev's dominance, Snyder is not in GOAT contention despite being the closest actual comp to this hypothetical comparison where he has been ahead of everyone pretty much the entire time but he can't get past an even better wrestler who happens to be the absolute most outstanding wrestler of the past 10 years
  15. All of you are still wrong. Adeline Gray is the US goat. Her arithmetic is simple: titles X longevity = GOAT She has it all. And if she brings home more hardware this year then it further distances her from the field.
  16. Thomas Gilman is the psycho dad born in "The Greatest Generation" that absolutely hates all those damn hippies. You're confusing him with Dan Dennis.
  17. It's not 1983. Grow up you idiot. ETA: second sentence is a joke. Dry /s is running amok.
  18. Everyone is very high on Alirez with good reason. But I think he has a stinker next weekend. Just a crummy gut feeling that I hope is wrong I also think Lee does not make the finals at 65. Spencer tech/pins his way into the finals.
  19. It's hard to get over myself. My bridge is still as bad as when I got pinned all the time so idk what makes you think I can all of a sudden get off my back at this age.
  20. John Smith couldn't go undefeated in the world tournaments he won. If he wrestled a traditional bracket tourney then he would not have 6 golds. Burroughs has a Mickey Mouse 7th title in 2021 at 79 eight weeks after the Olympics but he earned the other 6. Advantage: Burroughs. And good call-out that Snyder is one of the best but THE best of his generation was in front of him. Tank>JB
  21. It's not up to the people who run the sport. It is up to the International Olympic Committee. They said "Hey wrestling, thanks for the shakedown money and in return you can have 72 medals across however many versions of your sport you want and you have to do double bronze to increase interest. Figure it out."
  22. The fact that I am out here in these streets defending Dake and Taylor makes me sick to my stomach
  23. tl;dr if Dake is only second-best in the world he's a bum but you will root for (against) him if he gets the spot
