The goat 🐐!! Forever in my eyes as the reason why Phelps got 8 gold and not 7. #46.06. Met him once in Irvine he used to be neighbors with my friends, super humble guy! Doesn’t get the credit he deserves !!

Popov apart from being such an awesome technical swimmer surprised me with how much he played psych warfare with other swimmers. Popov kinda reminds me of Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Pumping Iron". He knew he had the skill and talent to beat someone but he would play every card in the book to make sure he won.

Was there anyone Alexander Popov didn’t try to psyche out with his trash talk?

Wow. Popov was pretty insecure to play those games. Thorpie never did it. Phelps never did it.

No, he ain't, it's called using every trick in the book including psyche warfare. Jordan, Ali, Arnold you name it if you were top of the sport most of the guys used there upper hand to psyche their opponents out.

Riiiight, He won golds in both 50 and 100 in two dif olympic games with his insecurity by playing mind games with all of his opponents. xD Americans don't like Popov because of Atlanta 96. He beat Gary Hall Jr. Simple.
