In his first year at the weight, he won the NCAA heavyweight championship at age 19 (which Steveson didn't do, though as has been pointed out he would have been favored to if not for Covid), and he went 135-1 at heavyweight in total. In senior tournaments, when he was 19 he took 4th at nationals, and when he was 21 he lost a referee's decision to eventual Olympic champ Angle at nationals (though not at the heaviest weight I guess). So I'd say he and Steveson are a draw. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All of these guys would be "ahead of Baumgartner" "at their age" but will NOT have a career like his. Never. Is there something to be said for being a bit of a "late bloomer?"

True, but every heavyweight who wins one state championship in high school is already showing more "potential at their age" than Big Bruce did. Funny how stuff doesn't always work out like that.

Lurker 1,397 Report post Posted December 22, 2020 Basically what’s happened here is that people were talking about how they see GS as having the potential to end up being the GOAT hwt. One poster got upset because PSU had a guy that beat GS, and has another guy who has some pretty nice chops himself, but we weren’t talking about them. So that got to a play on words and battle of terms like ‘pace’, ‘path’, and on and on, to now there has to be a precise definition of ‘potential’ accompanying ones opinion of how much potential he/she believes GS has, and apparently some confusion on whether or not expressing that opinion means you have already given him goat status prematurely. In other words.....much ado about nothing. Some people see more potential than others, and how they are judging that varies. It’s okay. 1 1 simple and dman115 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Plasmodium 1,603 Report post Posted December 23, 2020 This is all moot. Mason Parris will be the best hwt in the USA, if not this year then next. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AHamilton 538 Report post Posted December 23, 2020 I hope one of these young guys has what it takes to be dominant on the world level. I'm not sure if I care whom! I think there are many years that Cass would be considered a contender or likely finalist. I think he's shooting for fourth for the forseesble future. 1 dman115 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dman115 130 Report post Posted December 23, 2020 As much as I don't like some of the things Gable does during and after matches, I have always been hoping he lives up to his potential and boy does/did he have a lot of potential...hate it when you seen once in a lifetime talent get wasted...not saying that is the case with Gable...just hoping it doesn't become that.
