I know i probaly shouldn't be posting this until after freestyle wrestling is over at Beijing, but i just didn't feel like waiting. Which freestyle wrestler do you all think is the greatest of all time? For me it would be a tie between Alexander Medved and Buvaisai Saitiev of Russia. But since we can only pick one, i think it would be Medved, although that might change once freestyle wrestling is over in Beijing.

As of right now I'd agree with Zapp's picks as the top 3, the order of the three is debatable and probably comes down to just personal preference.

I'd put Saitiev right now JUST below those three, however should he win his 9th Gold tomorrow in arguably the toughest world level bracket ever it'd get really hard to deny him that top spot.

Fadzaev, Beloglazov, Smith, Saitiev.

Saitiev hands down, heck both of em, you guys see the size diference adam had against romero? an he smoked him, now people can say it was a bought match or what ever but still the guy weighs like 79kgs and has won a couple worlds and european titles, meh i stick with Saitiev as the best ever

FishPimp

Valentin Jordanov (Bulgaria) 7x World Champion, 1x Olympic Champ, and 13x TOP 3 in the World at any one time should be added to the list.

The Big Stiffy

I'd say John Smith even though he didn't keep competing as long as the other guys listed did. I still think if he came back today he could probably medal in the Olympics or Worlds if not win it.

If Satiev wins he is definitely #1. All his accomplishments came when it is more difficult to medal. Because not only does he have to face wrestlers from the former Soviet republics, but also Russians wrestling for other countries. In addition there are fewer weight classes now, so there is more talent compressed into fewer weight classes.
