I don't know why, but this just illustrates/emphasizes just how insane Kyles run was...Lee doing this and then ending with a NCAA championship over Yianni? Could you imagine?

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. ... 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

headshuck Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Why wouldn’t Lee be at 133 this year? Seems rehab may have been easier.

Maybe there is some reflex memory is us old guys brains that automatically thinks going up in weight class is impressive I basically agree, but with one qualification. 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

Perry Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Dake. Fewer losses and better wins. Lee would also be below stieber on my all time list.

I think I remember him talking about having cut a lot freshman and sophomore year and part of why he went to 165 his last year was to minimize cutting. This HOF article notes weight cut issues at 141 and 149 in a couple of places. https://nwhof.org/news/kyle-dake-s-journey-to-history-a-year-by-year-look
Fadzaev2 Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 It was great watching Dake's finals matches!!!

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

The man strength was always a factor or Reece Humphrey would've had him. 1

And then he applied seven minutes worth of, um, how would one describe it? substantial force? brutality? to Molinaro (a somewhat muscular fellow himself) the next year. 1
Eagle26 Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 Everyone also thought he was too small to ever wrestle 125. "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. Of course Jimmy knows that too, but here we are taking the bait lol

His utter domination of molinaro is almost impressive at beating Taylor in 2 close matches , not many people could dominate him like that , dake could have rode molinaro til he dyed of starvation if he wanted
