      Thank you for sharing this. Whatever I have seen or heard about this man has always been a pleasant account. Unfortunately, many haters and racists will say that he was roided up, or that he went through torturous training, but if that were true, then he would not have as many hobbies as he did (he was interested in literature and maths, and wrote academic papers on sports), and he would not have been so nice, calm and generous.

Don't think so. More, put a fighter like Joshua in a cage with whoever is the best atm, and he's gonna get his ass whooped most likely (but he is not without a chance as MMa involves boxing) but do it the other way around and it's a totally different story.

    He was such an unbeatable beast. One of sports greatest of all times. I remember one time when he had his opponent on the mat, arms around him, then blinked with one eye at the camera and just tossed the poor guy like a piece of lumber. Like "here it comes".

    considered the greatest Greco-Roman wrestler of all time.[2][5][6] Karelin won gold medals at the 1988, 1992 and 1996 Olympic Games under a different flag each time (Soviet Union, Unified Team and Russia respectively), and a silver medal at the 2000 Olympic Games. His wrestling record is 887 wins and two losses.

    1:27, could you imagine having Karelin in the next round after watching that absolute animal ragdoll another heavyweight like that. He's screaming like a madman, and earning points like hot cakes. I'd want to throw in the towel.
