They both would have been favorites to win in 1984 as they both won Worlds in 1983 and 1985 and the Friendship games in 1984. However the 1980 boycott arguably helped Beloglazov whilst Fadzaev was not wrestling on the senior level yet. Beloglasov lost to Tomiyama in the 1979 world final and Japan boycotted the 1980 games. Beloglazov would win worlds in 1981 with Tomiyama finishing 3rd (I don't know if they met). Probably sometime between worlds 1979 and 1981 Beloglazov passed Tomiyama. If they met between worlds 1979 and the 1980 Olympics that would have determined the favorite, otherwise it would have been Tomiyama based on his win in 1979. Both Beloglazov and Fadzaev went up in weight in the middle of their runs. Beloglazov won worlds at 62kg in 1982 after winning the title in 1981. Fadzaev lost in the world final to Kenny Monday at 74kg in 1989 after having won 5 titles at 68kg. So Beloglazov successfully went up and Fadzaev did not, but if Fadzaev had stayed down he likely would have another title. He won the next three world level titles at 68kg. An interesting intersection of their careers happened in 1982. This was the year Beloglazov went up to 62kg and won worlds and the year before Fadzaev won his first world title. They were both at 62kg. Beloglazov, 25 years old, won USSR Nationals and Fadzaev, 20 years old, finished 8th. The next year Beloglasov went down to 57kg and Fadzaev up to 68kg where they both won worlds. Fadzaev retired at 30 years old which was 2 years younger than Beloglalzov. So perhaps Fadzaev left more on the table in retirement than Beloglazov. Beloglazov failed to make a team until he was nearly 23 and retired at 32. He would unretire for a single match with John Smith up a weight in 1989 which Smith won. Fadzaev on the other hand made his first world team two years younger than Beloglasov. He would unretire for the Olympics in 1996 when he was 34 years old where he failed to medal. In domestic competition Beloglasov failed to win the USSR nationals 3 times 1983, 1985, and 1986 which did not prevent him from representing the USSR at Worlds. He also finished 3rd behind two Soviets at the Grand Prix of Germany in 1984. Fadzaev's only loss outside of worlds was in the Grand Prix of Germany in 1987 to another Soviet.

Nobody can speak ill of Obama because if they do it's racist. Same with Kamala. Is that in itself racism?

The various failures of Trump

Obama was a good President despite the racist attempts to stymie him at every juncture. I wish he would have pulled us from Iraq and Afghanistan quicker. Also he didn't owe those racist ass cops an apology at the Beer Summit. They were indeed racist ass cops that acted stupidly. Obama wasn't perfect by any stretch but he acted in the best interest of the nation. -

Miller's upside it higher than Bo's. That's not taking anything away from Bo. He's damn good and will be in college. That just says how good Miller will be. I just want them to go to anywhere but PSU and OSU.
