Cons
- DT is coming up in weight, I disagree on the 'part-time' part as I guarantee you that he will have a full, proper camp. If the version of DT we saw that pinned returning worlds medalist, a much younger (prime) and rested Valencia is out of shape, then the in-shape version is going to be a world beater.
- Sadulaev could be considerably older. We'll never actually know. He is also coming off what used to be considered career ending surgery
- Ghasempour is also coming off what used to be considered career ending surgery.
DT hasn't had any career ending surgery aside for the whooping that got put on him by Brooks at OTT.
I agree on the size thing, though. He is smaller. Albeit, Ghasempour was 86 KG and forced out. Sadulaev has been 97 KG and got CHONKY, so dropping back down to 92 KG (~202lbs) for the first time since 2016 Olympics (in which he was 86 KG) might not go so well for him.
