@dagable hey skippy, Dan Gable was an amauter wrestling against professionals. Never since were the Americans at such a disadvantage. My two cents and worth avery penny. But that simith single is evil sweet.
@DrJoseSanchez Brands was at his "peak" for a couple of years. John Smith was in his peak throughout his entire international career, which started when he was 20 yrs old, and still in college.
The real shame is that countries could only qualify one wrestler. I believe these two likely would have been 1 and 2, or worst 1 and 3. Although some say the '84 gold Lewis won was tainted due to the boycott, he ended up beating Sarkisian in a dual (?). Who is the only person I can think of who beat Smith internationally.
Too bad both were wrestling injured...
