He probably is. Also the best current wrestler except for those that wish to vault the 20 year old over top to #1. 

I thought John Smith was a 2x NCAA champ . Don't discount the old man

Burroughs was also a two-timer.

[Spladle08]

Although irrelevant, Brooks would have done well at 92 kg.

Could've*

[Spladle08]

Wow 92kg with the surprise

Not sure about that C+1 on the step out...

Agree to agree

92 kg silver medalist collapsed while walking away from mats. Surrounded by medical staff, but walking off under his own power after several minutes and declining a gurney.

If Taylor wins the Oly gold next year does he eclipse JB? Man have we ever been blessed with talent this last decade.

My prediction.

I think all-time and p4p rankings are fun, but they don't really mean much. Too many variables involved. JB and Taylor are both really fun to watch, and they both have proven themselves over and over.

That said, if Taylor wins a second Olympic title, it would indeed be special. I think among US wrestlers, only Smith and Baumgartner have done that.

Just watched the Eric O and Weebs clip.
Ever since his little needless tantrum about the Russian entrants, he just bothers me. Replace him with David Letterman or somebody

Eric O is a no-balls child of a Michigander.

I may legitimately de-patriotize that turdbiscuit myself next time he tries to speak out of line without his Daddy's (Justin Basch) permission.

Greasy-haired little bitch.

Tell me how you really feel. Micic for president

When was the last time Uguev lost twice in one weekend?

[nhs67]

I noticed the shiner in his Micic match... but who punched Abakarov?

[ILLINIWrestlingBlog]

Looks like Sadulaev and Uguev both fail to medal. (My prediction is a forfeit in Sads future).

Probably way before he started growing that phenomenal beard...

Great match.

[nhs67]

In hindsight here... Russia going might not have been on their radar either.  They were either complacent in training or they are just flat out of shape.  It's impressive, really.  The world is catching up.

[nhs67]

Micic is well hydrated and looks solid.  Too bad Higuchi might be the one guy at 57 KG who is bigger and faster after an entire day's hydration.

[D3 for LU]

2-2 at the break... Higuchi w/criteria.

[ILLINIWrestlingBlog]

Conspiracy theory or conspiracy reality? 

[D3 for LU]

4-4 Micic w/ criteria.

[Airmail]

Holy sh1t!!  Micic up 6-4 under a minute!!

 

[D3 for LU]

6-4 Micic w/ 30 sec
