Who Would You Favor to Beat the Current Olympic Champions?

[KingOtoguro]

Rei Higuchi - I'd favor nobody, but if anyone can do it then it would have to be Micic or Lee

Kotaro Kiyooka - this is a tough one, but I would pick Shamil Mamedov to beat him.  He isn't as one dimensional and predictable as Amouzad

Razambek Zhamalov - I would favor Sidakov.  Zhamalov looked awesome, but Takatani, Valiev, Rassadin and Salkazanov were in no way gold medal threats.  Kadimagomedov was unfortunately not in shape either

Magomed Ramazanov - David Taylor and Yazdani when healthy

Akhmed Tazhudinov - probably no one.  A healthy Sadulaev would make for an interesting challenge

Geno Petriashvili - considering how Zare beat him 9-2 and 10-0 the last two times they had previously wrestled.  I'd pick Zare 

[Le duke]

Zhamalov is very good but he got gifted that pin. If they stay in that position until the break, which they should have, Takatani had a realistic chance of winning.

Brooks was a handful of seconds from beating Ramazanov.

Other than that, I agree with your list.
