Dan Gables 1972 Munich Olympics Gold Medal should be on the Top 100 Athletic Achievements. Going through 7 opponents w/o one point scored against him

There are about 1% as many women in wrestling as there are men. It is difficult to compare them on the same scale. Great vid. Agree with most choices.

@jf8138 19 күн бұрын

They are wrestling other women, though. That is like saying the wrestlers from the 20s are not impressive. Makes no sense, the competition is still there.

@billybud9557 19 күн бұрын

@@jf8138 No, it makes perfect sense. There are still 6 freestyle Gold Medals, and only a few women chasing them. Thousands of men are after them. Who has the better chance of succeeding? Think a bit.

And it can be argued that Burroughs competed in an age with a higher caliber athlete. Imo it was also a deeper weight class on a world scale

@johnalmondbro8732 19 күн бұрын

Jordan has one Olympic title and if John stuck around there is no question he would have more world titles. As mentioned he retired with 6 world + Olympic titles at 26. Burroughs had 3 world + Olympic at that age. I also think the Olympics is substantially harder than worlds. You could make the argument that the USSR only getting one entrant means everything pre 1992ish should not count the same, in which case I could see you ranking Burroughs #1, but I don't think Burroughs sticking around forever really makes a strong case for GOAThood. Its not like JS was not the best in the world at age 27.

Flowers given to all the wrestlers in our history... an unbelievably tough sport with minimal flair on the receiving end... Thank you

@Michael-ii9fs 19 күн бұрын

Here's the thing. And I know it is controversial, but THAT very fact is a problem. There is absolutely no room for inclusion on an EXCLUSION based list. This list is the ethical epitome of exclusivity. You cannot include women on the list. Ever. There is no version of a top 1000 where a woman could crack the list. That is conservative and everyone knows it. A decade of state champs at all divisions of all states will produce more wrestlers at a higher level than women can challenge. There are noteworthy women, but the list is already reduced immensely of deserving men where there aren't enough spots available for everyone.

Nice 10 part series. Someone please help me out here. Was Carlton Haselrig on this list? His wrestling experience enabled him to becoming an offensive lineman for the Pittsburgh Steelers. His college accomplishments should have him in at least the top 90 best American wrestlers.

Sad to see a picture of Dupont next to Bumgartner 9:14. Was he in the team photo as a donor? I have enjoyed the whole series. Combining men and women in a list like this makes little sense in any sport but especially wrestling. Think about swimming or track. Is Ledecky greater than Phelps? Is Flo-Jo better than Bolt? Gymnastics where the events differ; looks like Simone B is top. Make two lists. Most influencial people in US wrestling would be interesting. Some are coaches, some are athletes or both.

Sorry girls, but to compare the new womens wrestling with mens wrestling is unfair to say the least! Regarding the mens list: Winning an Olympic gold medal during the cold war against the Russians means much more to to the nation then winning one nowadays. And i expect a coaches list..cause Gable created not only olympic gold medalists but other coach-legends.
