B. Saitiev now putting off retirement plans

[princyjoshu]

I dont think so he killed saritov,,,,

[LoSt]

I had forgotten how truly amazing Satiev was until I looked up his record just now...

3 olympic golds and 6 worlds?


13 years and only two international losses?

Thats just absurd. if he medaled in 2012 would that cement him as the GOAT?

[5pointcrossankle]

yes it would

[ODH]

Without the loss to Slay, he would definitely be the GOAT.
Right now, even if he nevers wrestles again, he is still in the discussion.

[5pointcrossankle]

i would put him ahead of the other 4 (fadzaev, beloglazov, smith, jordanov,) just because of the span his career is, and the fact that he came back from a pretty tough slide to win another olympics, where as alot of people would have given up

[JudoWrestler]

I always thought B. Saitiev is considered the best freestyle wreestler of all time.

[LoSt]

Well I'm sure he is in the debate but I dont think there is any consensus.

If he medaled in 2012 though you would have to think it would be undisputable that he is the best ever

[grecowrestler13]

I think alot about how different it would be if Saitiev got Gold in Sydney. The first wrestler to win 4 Olympic gold medals. He is absolutley one of the greatest ever.

i unno ppl have their favs and mine is saytiev, i just think of his ability to be so unpredictable makes him the best, and from all the matches ive seen of him, i dont think there is a move out there that i havent seem him hit world class or even world champions with
