I read where many wrestlers said that as soon as you put your hands on this guy you knew you were in trouble.They described him as having animal strength
lol
What do you mean?
He was an animal!
You can tell by the other wrestlers reacting to him. They are moving backwards basically the whole time - same picture in some hundreds fights of Karelin that are on video. For me the most dominant athlete of all time.
Russian "vitamins"
@@haroldpierce1987 no it’s genetics he was 5’10 (1.79m) and weighed 79kg he towered the average humans even at 13! Men like him are born once every few centuries.
How is he not talked about in the same league as Jesse Owens or Mohammad Ali or Messi or Ronaldo! If anything, he is the most dominant athlete in the history of sports!
That's too much. It could also be said about Edwin Moses or Usain Bolt and a number of others.
My own opinion is that greco-roman wrestling and freestyle wrestling are not poplar outside the Olympics compare amateur boxing and pro boxing, but that's my opinion.
Because wrestling is not nearly as popular as the boxing or soccer
@@gilbertlebacks2889 that’s not even an opinion that’s just factual not many people watch wrestling floor care about it outside of people who do wrestle
It is because he is Russian. The US is never going to give russians the credit some of them deserve because of the mainy doping scandels. this guy
was as dominant as Fedor in his prime imo.
Referee getting blasted off the mat at 7:15 is hilarious... even the ref was smiling afterwards.
Karelin is wrestling’s GOAT!
No way! Cuba’s Mijain Lopez is the greatest of all time. Alexander Karelin was great, he wouldn’t beat Mijain Lopez from Pedro Torres
Goats cant wrestle
@@deborahferguson9201 just stop Karelin is easily better and the goat
@@deborahferguson9201 so a guy who loss matches in his career to guy who gave up a total of 3 points in his career sit-down

He is smashing everything coming his way 🤩
Хороший добрый человек спортсмен тренер. Кто пишет гадости это люди завистливые и никчёмные. А вы Александр супер❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
For me, the best Olympian, ever, and maybe the most dominant athlete, ever. I know a big case can be made for Greg Louganis, Pyrros Dimas and Bolt, but What Karelin did might be a little better.
are you forgetting Phelps! its between bolt phelps and karelin imo!
@@danwheeler1496 but at this jusian bold its 100m at f.e. 30m , .., there (at this so-called og's "sofar at least some wich are faster and at at f.e. a course with more direction chances even not less more and with lesser "flat terrain even more and without spikes even more wich are faster in at this or that course to absolvate
He is such a gentleman. Respect from india.
Those arm locks looks brutal
4:05 If he dies, he dies.
286lb and still looks lean! Karelin was in another class of humans! Beast! Best Greco-Roman Heavyweight ever!
-jopp "sofar at least (at least at this so-called olimpicgames there) so to say
KARELIN....... EL MEJOR DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS............
Imagine if the UFC was around for Karelin....
Красивый поединок!!!!!!!!!
karelin legendary!!!
Yeah he was extremely strong and he mastered the technique to the perfection
Lots of great wrestlers were misjudged in Seoul against Korean wrestlers. I think they should reconsider their decision and apologize for the corrupted decisions on their soil.
A legend and GOAT of GR wrestling.
Unreal power! He almost broke his hand
he did a (illegal?) wrist lock, almost aikido-like at 2:14 when the ref couldn't see to turn in the opponent's arm. very clever and skilful. hurts just watching it
this man's strength was insane, he doesn't use any flashy techniques or movement he just slams his opponents onto the mat.
Super partij , geweldig wat een klasse !
Tank !!
The greatest!
Горит огнём борьбы⚡️
Wrestling's goat
And Tomas Johansson was not a nobody. As far as I remember, he won Olympic medal too.
The wrestler who lost just one match in his career 😀
The guy he lost to admitted that he had no chance against Karelin; it was a fluke.
The whole nation conspired to defeat him..what a sham
887-2 He lost early on and his last match.
Why they made them continue after Karelin put the guy on his back and shoulders and held him there ?
И это не мальчик для битья Томас взял серебро! Но с Карелиным не смог даже 1 очка взять . Да , Карелин легенда !!! 4 Олимпиады 3 золота и одно сомнительное серебро (очень спорный момент)
The Great Siberian "Experiment"
Bullsh*t. Great genes and extremely dedicated training regimen. Do your homework.
@Yirlani "fully outed"??! Present your facts. Wanting something to be true doesn't make it true.
Laao when ref fall 😂😂
Keralin at that time was strong like (USSR), a SUPERPOWER.
Nah at 1988 the USSR was already dying
Cuba's guy Mijiain Lopez now the leader in GR wrestling, 4 time olympic champ.
Karelin is still the GOAT though
You mean cuba the stall master
@@lucasthurloff1518 Mijiain Lopez
Karelin's number of wins is not just the greatest in wrestling but of any sport, all time.
Pero este señor solo pelliscaba la piel de el primer don
the goat, the mike Tyson of wrestling
Mike Tyson is nowhere close to the GOAT discussion.
@@myaccount4699 u feel meee
Mijain Lopez is the the greatest wrestler of all time. Just won his 4 gold medal. Not even the great Karelin won 4 gold
@@deborahferguson9201 Karelin has a better record, and he won his titles consecutively, Lopez did it non-consecutively with mixed results.
"sry mike tyson , .., rediculous
強っ！
若い！！
👍👍👏👏
4:21
How's that not a fall/pin?
That's what I was thinking🤷
Был выдающийся борец,стал прлдажной личностью,связавшийся с Ед.Россией...
Karelin or Lopez?
Lopez
Karelin
@@ernestomartinez4930 Karelin >>>>
Karelin was great but Lopez faced much tougher competition
Жайрайсіздар давай давай
Mijain Lopez 🇨🇺 # 1 All time
호돌이네
Karelin USSR
Koca yusuffffffffffffffffffffff
At 7:09 let it run and watch closely, thank me later 😂😂😂
It’s time to make a video anointing the real GOAT - Mihain Lopez
They won’t do it. First and foremost he Mijain Lopez is from a Socialist nation ( Cuba) not so much that he’s black ( I hope not, lol) I honestly think they’d prefer a Chinese communist before a Cuban socialist. From Pedro Torres ( yes I’m Cuban too)
Nah, compare their records. Karelin was the most dominant and is still the GOAT. Better luck next time.
💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉
No
He was on steroids
prove it
887 wins on steroids?)))
Using steroids does not make u the GOAT....it just adds an asterisk next to ur name in the books
everyone on steroids
👍👍👏👏
