You can tell by the other wrestlers reacting to him. They are moving backwards basically the whole time - same picture in some hundreds fights of Karelin that are on video. For me the most dominant athlete of all time.

It is because he is Russian. The US is never going to give russians the credit some of them deserve because of the mainy doping scandels. this guy was as dominant as Fedor in his prime imo.

For me, the best Olympian, ever, and maybe the most dominant athlete, ever. I know a big case can be made for Greg Louganis, Pyrros Dimas and Bolt, but What Karelin did might be a little better.
