Missing the only 6x NCAA champion ever, Carlton Haselrig. He wrestled at University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. Won 3 D2 and 3 D1 championships. In high school won the PIAA AAA championship and didn’t have a wrestling team. Entered the district tournament 0-0 and won the state championship. If Baumgardner wasn’t there may have been an Olympic wrestler.
Drafted by the Steelers after not playing football in college and made the pro bowl.
Unfortunately suffered from CTE. Passed away in 2020.
Totally agree. Great life story.
That’s wild
It looks like Haselrig tried MMA back in the early 2000s while he was refereeing our tournaments in southwest PA. If the UFC had blown up sooner, the most anticipated match of all time would have been Kimbo Slice vs Carlton Haselrig. Spencer Lee????
As a former Div 2 wrestler in his neck of the woods (UMass Lowell) Carlton was the LEGEND right before I entered college.
The dude needs a movie made about him!
Putting Kyle Snyder above dake I understand… putting him above Sanderson is outlandish
Yeah that’s because of overseas success at a young age but I agree a lot of heavyweights are not the caliber of premier middle and lightweight wrestlers. Way more technique
snyder is clearly above dake it's not close
"Outlandish" is a bit strong. Snyder is clearly the more accomplished freestyle wrestler. This isn't 'Top 100 Collegiate Wrestlers'.
Kyle Snyder's international accomplishments sht on Cael's
@@magicalfrijoles6766 American Wrestlers
Good list. But women should have been included in their own list and not mixed.
I know, it was kinda silly… Helen above Cael Sanderson?? 🤔
@@jakedemaggio8649 exactly. You can't compare male wrestlers to females. It's basically a night and day difference. I don't think I need to say anymore.
After I saw Cael wasn’t even top 5 I decided this list is fucking bullshit lol. I Can agree with the top 2 but Cael should be 3 at least!! And Gable may be young but is top 20 for sure. Terrible list. Wtf Flo
@@kainickname no, you don't. If people stopped being cowards a lot of today's problems would not exist.
I agree they left out a few other great wrestlers
Henry Cejudo was not undefeated in high school. You are confusing him with his brother, Angel Cejudo. Henry had 3 losses his freshman year and then went undefeated his last 3 years. He was a 4x champ, though. His record was 121-3.
god forbid you have 3 losses
@@derekhaha9018it’s still misinformation
@@derekhaha9018Hes not ridiculing him, just correcting a mistake.
@@derekhaha9018 you seem to be a slow mental metabolizer
Angel wrestled for the Army as well.
I wrestled him at the Armed Forces Championships
He is not comparable to his brother
Why isn’t undefeated undisputed 4x ncaa champ Austin desanto not on this list???
Hahaha, is Desanto the Chael Sonnen of wrestling now?
Undefeated, undisputed, never lost a period.
He doesn't have the international resume to be on the list
😂
We all know Dan Gable's story but I still got chills hearing it again. LEGEND
Why it’s not a movie is beyond me.
@@skeletonshorror5184 that would be incredible
Spent a year at Iowa in 76 .Coach Gable could still beat everyone in the room! Intense was not a strong enough word to describe him! Incredible presence!!
@@skeletonshorror5184 that would be epic and it's necessary
@@joecamilleri7173 I never wrestled d1, just junior college but Hawkeyes are my favorite wrestling team. That's so epic that you trained under Coach Gable!
Huge L not making Chael Sonnen #1. Undefeated, undisputed.
Oh, that's because he's the Freebird of combat sports. It's already understood that he's the greatest. We only make lists for everyone else.
What about triple h , or Andre the giant
I’m halfway through and find the criteria a bit inconsistent. Sometimes there seems to be more weight place on international success, which I think makes the most sense. Other times, like Logan Stieber, it’s virtually ignored for college excellence. Which is it?
Women should not be on this list. They should have there own top 50 or something. Awesome male wrestlers are not going to make top 100 because of girls that could never beat them. 100 best wrestlers of all time right? I’m sorry but the women aren’t in that class
WokeWrestling at its finest
@@undeadSOLDIER85 called being smart, Serena williams lost 6-1 6-0 6-0 in tennis To a man ranked like 50th
but muh ESG score!
@@cavmain920 I think he was further back than that. I wanna say like in the 100s. Could be wrong but that’s what I remember
@@kainickname ok that’s the jesuits favorite number lol go figure I knew it was way up there. Can’t compare apples to oranges they should know this. Give the females there own list stop trying to put them in with the guys. It’s a joke. There gold medalists I’d probably pin them all in first 2 minutes or tech them with 1 move. Give them there own!
I love not just this list but how much notoriety wrestling has gotten flowrestling ❤ thank you
It seems a lot of the older wrestlers basically pre 2010 got the bone on this. Wrestlers back then didn’t get paid hardly so they stopped wrestling after one maybe two Olympic cycles. Had some of these guys wrestled 15 years on the senior level like the guys now they could’ve had 6+ world titles (ie Cael, Gable, Tom Brands,etc). Crazy to think what John Smith could’ve accomplished if he hung around another 6-10 years.
Smith had no choice but to quit wrestling, his body gave out on him. He had a great run though. Back in John's day there wasn't any big money for winning Olympic medals like today. $500,000 goes a long way. Cael was already pretty old the last time he made the world team and finished 5th. No way Brands would've won more than another couple titles, tops. Gable might've been able to pull off multiple golds over the years but he needed the money and wrestling coaching paid money.
Agreed
@@genghiskhan7041 Cael retired for like 6 years or so before he came back and took that 5th at worlds. He won the Olympics in 2004 and I’m pretty sure he went to worlds in 2010 or 11 without competing all those years. What a stud.
Agreed 100%. Crazy how Helen Maroulis is ranked higher than Dan Gable 😳
@@stevezager4991 I truly believe that’s a case of equality, seeing how flo comes off as a typical liberal corporation. They want to make sure no one is offended. F-
Back in the 80's when he was in college (Division 2), if you won your weight class National Championship, you were invited to compete in D-1 NCAA championship. From his sophomore, junior,and senior seasons,he won 2titles(one in D2 ,and one inD1, each year for a total of 6titles each year)., They don't have it like that now,and some may refer to it as the Haselrig Rule.He got hurt and didn't play college football, but ended up in the NFL (if I'm correct, making the Pro Bowl)!
Who are you referring to brother? I liked that set up better also. You could really see how good guys were and see who was the best at that weight
@@Discerningthematrixfortruth220 Oh, sorry, Carleton Haselrig, he wrestled in the mid to late 1980's Division 2. Google Carleton Haselrig NCAA wrestling
He was at heavyweight
@@Discerningthematrixfortruth220 Carelton Haselrig
He wrestled at University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. Won 3 D2 and 3 D1 championships. In high school won the PIAA AAA championship and didn’t have a wrestling team. Entered the district tournament 0-0 and won the state championship. If Baumgardner wasn’t there may have been an Olympic wrestler.
Drafted by the Steelers after not playing football in college and made the pro bowl.
Unfortunately suffered from CTE. Passed away in 2020.
Brandon slay above gene mills? By 40 spots? I’m happy you guys made this list as it is pretty cool and creates some debate. I hope no one gets too crazy about it lol
Great history lesson. Good to remember the pioneers of this sport
I have had the honor of watching many wrestlers on your list, wrestling one of them, and helping train two of them. I'm not informed enough to comment on the women, but this was a great presentation. Most dominant wrestlers I ever personally saw? Kolat and Smith. Best series? Spokane 3 match Cross vs Terry. Fav of all time? The Zain Train. Thanks for vid.
Kolat still has crazy skills. I'd have been perennial state champ if that guy was my coach in HS :D
I saw kolat up at Penn state years ago ( PSU vs Lock Haven ) he had that look of a serial killer in his eyes lol
Awesome video love this stuff. Keep up the great work
Great job. Glad someone is making content like this
A bit too fast and the women is kind of ridiculous
Gable, Dake and Sanderson 6, 7, 8...hmmmm. Overall this list is bunk...as are most list.
Great video. Thanks for posting this flo
When Taylor, Burroughs, and Dake were all wrestling for the same spot in the same weightclass, it was something that will not be matched again in competition.
Cox, Taylor and Dake for the same spot was also crazy!
Great that you put all this time and energy into rating the top 100 American wrestlers. It is well done but I feel some of the old time wrestlers such as Jack Vanbebber who was the first undefeated 3 time NCAA champion and who pinned ever single one of his opponents plus he won an Olympic gold medal have been underrated. Sure it was a long time ago and there was not as much competition as in the modern era but wrestlers such as him and others like Hodge would be even better wrestlers today as the training methods and techniques are even better. So all that has to be taken into consideration when rating the old time wrestlers otherwise they get underrated which I think some of them have been.
I think gable should be top 10 and that yanni needs to be on the list.
i don’t think yanni should but i think he definitely will be in the future
I didn’t watch the whole video. Is Yianni really not on the list at all? That’s a complete joke.
Yanni doesn't have the international resume to be on the list. Maybe in 5 or 10 years he will be.
Top 10 lmfao
This needs way more views !
Great job Flow !
Why its worst list ever nobody needs to see this
Lots of PC stuff in this. Seems some people made the list because of their identity. Or at least that’s what’s stated…
Cael not being number 1 makes me upset. Bru what, he’s the GOAT. What are you guys talking about. He’s not even top 5?? You guys can’t be serious
bruh is international credentials aren't great enough, it's very simple why he's at where he's at
It should be titled: Flos politically correct simp list.
Amazing history of our very best in the sport.
I'm happy to see my friend Lee Kemp was in the top 10.
The world missed out in 1980.
3 of the top 100 on that 1982 Oklahoma wrestling squad is nuts!
I got to roll with Bruce Baumgartner before he won any world titles! Super cool dude and a great wrestler. I learned a lot from him.
Im curious what scoring system was used to rank these wrestlers. While I think this list is relatively close to accurate, I have some disagreements.. Didn't see Yianni on this list.. or did I miss it while I was fast forwarding to see the top 10??
Top 100 American wrestlers of all time, and who's first on the list? Brent Metcalf. Holy crap! This list is strong from the start.
Argument can be made for yianni to be added on this list with his 4th ncaa title and world silver medal
fax
100% this list is a sham.
He will be on this list soon.
An argument? There are women on this list. What women could beat Yianni?
Wade Schalles is still my favorite wrestler. He was the king of funk and even had a video called "Legal Pain." The "X" in the mat wasn't his idea, though. It was someone in the student body that challenged him to pin his opponent on it. Coach Bubb never knew what was going on because when Wade was pinning his guy, the tape rolled up and came off the mat and stuck to the guy who got pinned. I was teammates with Dennis Koslowski's brother, Jim. He also was an extremely tough wrestler who placed 3rd in the nation. Cool guy, too. I saw Randy Lewis pin his Soviet opponent in 1981 in Randy's home town in Rapid City, SD. I've never heard a crowd scream so loud.
He should have been higher on the list. He beat Lee Kemp who was way up there.
I agree, much higher.
My college teammate beat metzger in the big eight finals but lost to him at nationals but i also wrestled at the same time of metzger our high schools were about 10 miles apart but different weights classes thank goodness
Gable is #1 and always will be.
How there are guys with better accomplishments in all aspects
Gable has the single most impressive performance but not overall number 1 at all.
You could argue Dan Gable is the most influencial US wrestler, but he is not the most decorated having lost once in college and he has a relatively short international period of success. While at different stages of their careers, Lee Kemp beat him in the Midlands and probably moved him more quickly into coaching. Gable certainly captured a lot of attention for the sport as a competitor and a coach. Sanderson may pass him in coaching success; time will tell.
Great video Flo! The only one I think you guys were way off on is Gene Mills-I would put him in at least the top 20. In addition to what you guys said, 107 falls and 96% victory rate in college. It would have been a huge upset for anyone to beat him in the 1980 Olympics.
One of the most impressive things he did was when he just walked out of the stands at age 26 and beat Kevin Dresser by 12 points in the finals of the Midlands. I don’t think he had wrestled a single match in 3 years and he had moved up 2 weight classes.
Tech-pinned reigning world silver medallist Bobby Weaver months after Weaver almost won a world title.
Mills should have been much higher. Very few can match his accomplishments at all levels.
Gable stevenson #37? Thats a joke, one of the most dominant wrestles ever
Stevenson has only been to one Olympics and zero world championships. He is lucky to be 37.
@@ericdeaton2247 and he dominated each time.
No wrestler has matched Dan Gable’s dominance of not letting 1 single point to be scored on him at the Olympics.
We should bring back the low cut singlets. They were so cool
Honestly
agreed. only problem with them is that they seemed to be more prone to getting tangled up in arms and hands.
I believe that's decided by the world association
👀
Rulon is an incredibly nice guy . Very humble , soft spoken and respectful . While I agree with most of the wrestlers on this list , the rankings are wild .
Yeah, it’s hard to compare big accomplishments against longer, more sustained careers. Beating Karelin was incredible, but there was a lot with the rules changes and everything surrounding that. I don’t want to take anything away from him, but I might not have put him quite that high…
I think an argument can be made for a couple of female wrestlers being in the top 100 if this list was accolades and credentials. But if it’s level of talent and pound-for-pound excellence, then no female can even sniff the top 100 EVER.
You are wrong. This list is about who is the most successful and the best for their weight and gender division. Women absolutely deserve to be on the list. You cannot compare a woman and expect then to beat a man and it isn't fair to judge them in negative light because if that.
@@kainickname exactly, there is no way a woman should be on this list.
@ber495 that is fine but the size of the pool doesn't speak to the level of talent. Ms. Howk who is competing tomorrow at final X trains at our home club. I promise you that she is every bit as talented as any man that I have personally known.
@@kainickname A sub two hour marathon is an incredible display of athleticism. The amount of people in the race doesn't change that. Your position is preposterous.
A separate list for sure. I'm an old casual fan of wrestling since the 68 Olympics, I never knew woman's wrestling was a thing.
Give the girls their own list.
Rating Hellickson over Zain Retherford calls this whole program into question.
DC ranked that high? How did he even make it into the top 100? He’s a NCAA runner up and bronze medalist, that’s it. I guess it’s a popularity contest, not an actual best list.
I totally agree. And they have him ahead of Rutherford, Metcalf and no Yanni.
Damn Stephen Neal was a athlete. Beat Ricky Williams, Brock Lesnar, world title, then goes and plays for the patriots for ten years! Crazy.
Lesser was not a great wrestler but he was stronger than everyone
Stephen neal was incredible
That video was embarrasing. You should be ashamed of those rankings. Im not sure who ranked those people but it was so way off you should maybe find a new career. Bader, i love your commentating. Please dont ever rank wrestlers again. Dan Gable said Chris Campbell was the best wrestler he ever coached. Gene Mills had the NCAA pin record for decades. Jayden Cox missed weight. Rulon Gardner beat Karelin by a fluke at the absolute end of his career. The rules that beat Karelin dont exist anymore because they were so bad. He slipped a grip. No points were scored.
Haselrig had literally his own rule named after him bc he was too good how on earth could you not include him? Like I genuinely want to know - need to know. It’s not a small oversight. It’s an enormous one that otherwise has to be considered purposeful bc there’s some smart ppl on this channel. I just want to know why. One of the rare few to beat Angle at heavyweight. Only 6x champ across 2 divisions. A then record 122 straight wins. Somehow became an NFL pro bowler and never touched a football field in college .
Exactly
This list is definitely not legit as far as the top 100 greatest wrestlers in United States history! Especially in the way you guys ranked these guys! I'm confused how you can rank ncaa 1st to 8th place wrestlers higher than ppl that won world and Olympic gold, silver and bronze medals!? This list is just way to all over the place! And how do you rank these collegiate wrestlers that won all through college but never did the freestyle or Greco-Roman stuff? Not to mention, you got ppl on this list ranked higher from winning division 2 and 3 championships over a division 1 title and world and Olympic achievements? I'm confused lol
Helen number 4... flosports come on now! Better than Cael!?!
Equality 😅😂😂😂
Welcome to WokeWrestling
Yes, she has a better international resume than Cael.
Much much MUCH better international resume than Cael. Tbh the only reason to put Cael above her would be his coaching career but that doesn't seem to be considered in this ranking system.
I really like that number one proved it is not how you start, but where and how you finish. How high you go--not how long it took you to get there.
Mike Houck was my Cabin Counsellor at Ben and John Peterson's Camp of Champs in northern Wisconsin in the mid 1980s. Great man and extremely humble.
Mike Caruso, Lehigh Univerity 3X NCAA champ only because freshman couldn't wrestle varsity back then. Easily would have been a 4x.
You guys lose a lot of credibility after that atrocity of a top 10… what? Cael number 6? That is straight up disrespectful to the goat of NCAA wrestling and arguably just the goat.
Honestly should just delete the video and try again… I shouldn’t be so annoyed but you claim to know wrestling and put Cael at 6 and Gable in the 30s… David Taylor got pretty disrespected too tbh
@@Jacknippleson1 they put Metcalf last, even though he could beat the brakes off every female on the list that's ranked better.
@@bocain812 yeah they did him dirty too, they should’ve done a separate list for women.
@@bocain812 although of course he could beat any of them it’s more about their achievements. Gable not in the top 20s at least is stupid too.
I think the list was pretty good but I feel like Cael and Dan should be top 4 at least, their coaching prowess is incredible and I think deserves to bump them up.
I'm not mad at their placing. If this was "Top 100 Most Important Wrestlers" then I have them 1 and 2.
@@magicalfrijoles6766 Agreed Cael and Dan show be 1 and 2. It's not just their wrestling, it's also their coaching.
I’d go…
1.Smith
2.Sanderson
3.Gable
…if the criteria is the entire career just because Smith won so many golds. 🇺🇸
@@cgmoran91it all depends on the criteria. Are we going with straight hardware or as a totality for the sport? For the latter, it’s gotta be Gable.
Like to know the criteria . Here in order would be mine
1. Olympic medals with gold being the highest
2. World championships….just gold
3. NCAA championships and lower would be runner ups
4. World silver and gold
5. NCAA record and undefeated carrying more weight
6. NCAA Hodge trophy
7. NCAA All American
8. Pan AM and other international titles
9. NCAA conference titles
10. How many USA teams made
11. High school state titles
12. Intangibles- move named
after them, pin MD or tech fall percentage , various weight divisions
13 a dominant win streak…got hot
14 high school records
15 youth championships
16 overcome adversity
17. Being the first to do or achieve something
Somebody went woke!
yup
Fragile ego alert
Pretty obvious
Some of these rankings I don't get...Slay over Lewis...for example...lot other rankings too.
Still enjoyable video.
Anyone know a wrestler from the 1940s who was supposed to be World Champion Tag Team. Possible name Johnny Mucie??

It’s embarrassing this page ranked women above Dan gable and others 😂
My high school JV team would DESTROY the women's national team and flo is putting these clam wrestling scrubs on their all-time list. Unbelievable.
@@smooch7842ok buddy, they’re strong womenbut they ain’t absolute garbage scrubs
@@smooch7842 they ranked a female above Gable 😂😂 what a shit page this turned into. Woke trash
Can not truly say of all time,since time does not stop💪👍🙏
Stephen Abas seriously should be way higher on the list.. I don’t even know how that is possible
Well-crafted work indeed - thanks for this 💪🥇☀️
Also I think you have to have wrestlers from all ages vote and have a different perspective. What are the voting standards..
Influence, accomplishments, legacy etc
Metcalf at 100 is wild
Ali over Metcalf? Lmao woke much
Good list but I think u missed putting Andy Rein on this list. He won Outstanding Wrestler at Tblisi and I'm not sure anyone other than Gable did this (can't find good records). He had injuries at a few key moments in his career and was done a disservice at the Olympic by the ref... He was in my opinion hands down the most fun American wrestler to watch ever to this day.
Andy Rein had a great HS and college career in Wisconsin. Add the Olympic silver medal, plus other international wins and he deserves mention. Watch this match against Nate Carr ua-cam.com/video/BqR31ALBd0Q/v-deo.html
I wrestled him 4 times. He wasn't fun to wrestle. He beat Nate in the Olympic trials
Should have included Abe Lincoln, guy has a crazy wrestling story.
Hahahah so true. 🇺🇸
I would also credit Burroughs with pushing Dake & Taylor to be so good. Dake & Taylor were constantly battling with Burroughs for that 74 kg spot. And when Dake finally beat Burroughs it turned out to be the best thing for all 3. Because Burroughs is great @79 kg & Taylor is perfect @86 kg.
One HUGE bit of information you failed to mention regarding Greg Gibson ( #65 ) was of all his amazing accolades and there are MANY. He not only represented his Country in the Olympics but more importantly HE SERVED HIS COUNTRY HONORABLY. FROM 1978-2003 HE SERVED IN THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS.
Now that is unquestionably truly remarkable.
His Military service was not more outstanding than his wrestling accolades.
He needs a movie based on his phenomenal life experiences!! 👏👏👏
Henry is a goat Olympic first ever Olympic gold medalist in the ufc and one of the only dual ufc champions
Mark schultz was the first olympic champ in the ufc henry is the only ufc champion to hold a olympic gold and win ufc gold.
Who’s the guy in the thumbnail?
Men's and women's wrestling are two different sports and, in my opinion, trying to rank them together doesn't make any sense. I'd love to see a video about the the 20 best American women wrestlers though.
The most amazing wrestlers this country has ever seen. I don't necessarily agree with the your rankings but I don't believe everyone will ever agree 100 percent.
Cael is top 3.
David Taylor I think should be higher. Other than that it’s pretty good.
Dawg wasn’t Gilman from Nebraska?
Bobby Douglas in the upper 80s has me in shambles.
Agreed. Very disrespectful. The man is a total legend.
Ridiculous he’s that low
Seriously, he’s top twenty at least!
Very cool dude also! Was a great friend of my father.
Only at the 80's on the list. But man what a list. I'll came back later and let you know if I agree. Already Sschalles and Mills should be much higher on the list.
I feel like y’all did Gable a little dirty, he’s at least top 20
Exactly.
I'm only around 10:30 on this video,but Carlton Haselrig should be super high on this list.6NCAA championship
3 of those were JV titles.
@@schenksteven1 Division 2andDivision1.He won one of each for 3years straight, look up Carleton Haselrig on Google
@@anthonymuex8387yeah he’s saying division 2 is like JV compared to D1
Crazy list, awesome!
Was Carlton Haselrig on this list? I don't recall hearing his name. 6X NCAA heavy weight champ. No one has had more....jus sayin
Kyle Dake is #2 overtaking Burroughs currently and David Taylor is top 5 all time after his Olympic gold.
I would DEFINITELY not put Dake above Burroughs at this time, even accounting for his superior NCAA resume. If he beats him again in the trials and wins Gold in Paris then maybe. But at this point, no way. Agree though that Tayor is probably top 5 at this point. If he wins another gold in Paris, he's probably one or two.
why did you messed up the years?
How he wasn't on this list is beyond me! He beat Kurt Angle, and out of his two losses in college,one was Bruce Baumgarter.
who?
@@josephchristian4944 Look up Carleton Haselrig NCAA wrestling
Jeremy Hunter should be on this list as well.
@@Ur2ez4me81 Don't know of him
@@anthonymuex8387 4 time PIAA stare champ (1993-1997) went on to PSU & was a NCCA runner up & eventually won it his senior year. Not as dominant in college but in high school went like 173-2…
How is yianni not on this list?!?!?!?
Or Jordan Oliver
Should have a separate list for men and women. A lot of great wrestlers were left off of the list. Men and women. DT is proving to be in the top 3 all time.
This is silly. If you fast forward so FloWrestling title would read...The Top 5 American Wrestlers Of All Time... Dan Gable, Dave Schultz, Cael Sanderson, and (insert who I'm missing) would be excluded from this list.
Why isn’t Dan Gable #1 of all time? I’m asking out of curiosity and admit that I don’t know a lot of the other names.
No losses in high school.
1 loss in college; last match.
Perfect in the Olympics.
I hope to hear some thoughts on this.
1. Cael Sanderson
2. John smith
3. Dan Gable
4. Snyder
5. Lee Kemp
6. Bomgartner
7. Taylor
8. Burroughs
9.Dake
10. Rulon
Where's Dave Shultz
@@douglasparise3986 He does not make this list. Someone dying does not mean they get higher on the list. He was great in his own right though.
@@tropicalterrarium1742 he was a 3x world champion and Olympian. I knew half the guys on this list
@@douglasparise3986 You need to look into them. And DAve Shultz was 1 world championship and one olympic. Not denying that is incredible but not what you said.
@@tropicalterrarium1742 when and where did you wrestle
John smith over Cael 🤨
What about Yianni?
I think Bruce in front of JB is debatable 2 Golds a Silver and. Bronze in the olympics. That tells me on the biggest stage when things go his way he’s good and when they don’t he still sticks around in the top three! At HW too wrestling the biggest baddest dudes on the planet! JB had one Olympic gold but a lot of worlds.
Dan Cael are at the top if you ask me but wow the list is crazy good
- How did DC make it that high? Runner up in college and a bronze medal in one world championship is his best showing ? ….Brent metcalf undefeated high schooler, hodge trophy , ncaa championships and a team title two time freestyle national champ … Zain train undefeated for three years in college with 87 percent bonus points , team titles, Royce Alger called the toughest by gable, two time ncaa champ, won a silver world medal….DC is not above them
- Adeline Grey is not top ten
- I would switch Bruce and Jordan because Bruce has more medals , which includes 4 Olympic medals in two of those are gold. Bruce should be second and I don’t think it’s even close. However, Jordan is a solid third.
-Dan Gable should be higher
Where's Kevin Jackson, Kenny Monday?mark Shultz
In a couple of years I believe Gable Stevenson will be at the #1 spot if he continues his dominance, he already has two NCAA titles, two Hodge trophies, and an Olympic gold medal
Heavyweights just not same level of wrestling then the lower weights.
no spencer lee?
Cael is top 2.
Steveson at 37 is criminal. I guess because this was made before the 2nd Hodge? DT should also be higher.
Stevenson has only been to one Olympics and zero world championships. He is lucky to be as high as he was.
@@ericdeaton2247 2 Hodges. Olympic Gold. That's at least top 15
@@ericdeaton2247 here with the same lame comment
David Taylor is magic man because of Ricky bobby. David Taylor told me this his self at a wrestling camp
Mark Churella, big miss on this list.
