World's Greatest Wrestler DEFEATED!

[AndrewR]

From the sounds of it, Karelin's mother probably mated with a bear to conceive him.

I would have to say that Jet Li would lose to Karelin in a fight.

 

[highme]

if they were at each other at 4 years younger...the Russian would have still kick ass!

They wrassled in Atlanta and Roulon cried. They showed that prior to the match on NBC last night. They also compared it to the Miracle on Ice in '80.

 

[Str8UpKiller]

I'd kick both their asses blindfolded

 

[soup or man]

<< My thought is that if the guy lost the weight and competed in a lower category, he might be even better (since he was a virtual unknown prior to this gold medal). That being, said, his bulk contributed to his victory since it was more difficult for Karelin to pick all that fat up! >>



nah if he traded it for muscle he'd weigh more and be stronger.


and i remember that Ghaffari/Karelin match last Olympics, Ghaffari trained so hard for it, he had nothing on his mind but Karelin for years...and he still lost. it was sad
