Jimmy Cinnabon Posted February 18 Posted February 18 In this thread I will name the wrestlers I think are capable of knocking off the current #1s per Intermat as of Feb 18, 2026. 125: Lilledahl: Bouzakis and Sheldon Seymour (who beat Lilledahl last year) 133: Byrd: Blaze, Davino, Jax, Seidel (wide open weight) 141: Mendez: Vega (maybe) 149: SVN: Joy 157: Cannon: Shapiro, Taylor, Duke, Robideau (long list since Cannon is injured) 165: Messenbrink: Blaze 174: Haines: Ruiz and Minto 184: Welsh: Ferrari, Sinclair, McEnelly 197: Barr: Elam HWT: Yonger: Trumble, Ferrari, Taylor

He went into 16,006 screaming fans at Bryce Jordan and laid the wood on Welch For 6 minutes and 45 seconds. Welch was able to summon up just enough gas to finish the match. Great match. If Fishback is peaking at the right time this should some great wrestling.

Rassling Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Have to admit I agree with the guy up north - no one is beating MesenBRICK
Dogbone Posted February 18 Posted February 18 I really hope we get a Luke v. VRob match this year. VRob hasn't seemed as sharp this year but I wouldn't count him out.

peanut Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Nobody is unbeatable. But Haines, the reigning world silver medalist, might be the tougher to beat than anyone else.
Dan-by Taco Posted February 19 Posted February 19 (edited) Great question Jimmy. Although the question is who can beat the 1s, I'll answer with, who is the most likely 1 to win imo. I'll go with Barr. I see 97 and one of the least deep weights and Elam has not looked at Barr's level this year. I've seen Levi get decked by Andonian (or as close as one can get) and should've lost the second time, was behind with 30 seconds left and BA had 3 stalls to give as (years ago but still hurts lol) well as Gable lose, so we've seen it all. I think Mitchell has the 2nd best odds (Blaze might be interesting). Mendez, 3rd most likely to win imo (Vega is interesting), Levi 4th best odds. Edited February 19 by Dan-by Taco typo

I can not disagree with much. Maybe add Zerban to the 157 list, and Robinson to 125..maybe.
headshuck Posted February 19 Posted February 19 I suppose Mendez could fall behind early and lose his composure.

SplitTheG Posted February 19 Posted February 19 141 - Add Stanich 165 - Not Blaze. Add Lockett 174 - Just Ruiz, not Minto. 184 - Add Fishback after his match against Rocco. 285 - Add Ghadiali.
