Don't think I've seen evidence of this, but yeah thats the joke.

We all know John would've just sucked down another weight class.

Yes I think the 6 weight classes is ridiculous. But now with the breakup of USSR its not the same 5, 6 or 7. Soviets as a team were the best but now Russia is just a country (well except for the cheating) and the USA is much more competitive now. Some of out trial brackets look like world brackets. Seems things have flipped a bit.

But the 2 or 3 may not be as good as the 1 caused they never trained against the best. You can argue it both ways. Sometimes its just about beating that 1 guy, just ask Fix.

Are you saying it was tougher in Smith's era. Soviets were considered some of the best back then prob cause whoever was their rep had trained with and beat all the other soviet states. Someone who did so couldn't certainly be considered better trained than say a rep from Ukraine or Russia. On the 7 vs 10 its really a very marginal difference when you consider that one guy you might face that could beat you based on the weight. And maybe the 10 weight guys were tougher better cause they were closer to their optimal weight. See you could argue it both ways.

How did he do in his first world competition? How many did he win still in college?

How do you know that?

I've always liked that idea.

Would DI, DII & DIII be considered tiers?

What?

There can't be 3 GOATs or even 2.

This may be a dumb question but how do we know 80% of them weren't weeds, we all know the definition of a weed correct?

Then they should ask Cael.

Or Bob changed my settings, that scoundrel changed my avatar so ... who knows. BTW: can someone wake Bob up from the dead and tell him he can close this thread. Vote for ionel & nhs in 2024!

I'm sure that call was made last year.

That fixed it all is good, thanks! No idea how I ever clicked on that. I'm looking for a running mate, Porta would need to approve but ... Vote for ionel in 2024!

Here's my screen.

Its not the first, I've done that before. How did you get the drop down for the desktop option?

and never lost one. Yes the poll presentation is a bit biased.

Thanks in advance for the effort.

Only my smart phone. I was only using phone when occurred. Tablet is fine. Now using mobile tablet.

Did I mention in addition to 17 minute edits and 21 minute Tuesdays everyone will get a RESET button on their home screen. C'mon Bob! Vote for ionel in 2024!

s w a h y a t ?

32 I'm on my smart phone. My tablet and computer are fine because wasn't using those. Clearly hit a live button somewhere. Screen is unreadable now, have to re zoom on every thread page change and the Last Rankings and College Commits remain as a column on the right side rather than bottom underneath the thread.

Its not the first time. Help @BobDole!
