"The Experiment" Alex Karelin

[tymikeson]

For all those young sherbros who never heard of this Russian Wrestler....


3 time gold medal Olympic super Heavyweight Wrestling Champ and 1 time silver olympic wrestling champ back in the 80s and 90s.

887 wins -2 losses in his entire wrestling career. both losses by a single point.


I remember imagining what it would have been like if this guy transitioned to MMA. *he did have 1 bout but it was more like a shoot style wrestling match.

he was a #####ing Beast. he was known to literally lift 250+ pound men from the mat and simply toss then.

2:38 is where he lifts a grown 260 pound man off the floor...

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Would have been the GOAT. Also his last loss was only a technicality because he broke his grasp and a newly made rule made that a point, while before it was not scored.

 

[Hidden_Hand]

I find the fact he as those 2 losses painful, he was so fucking close to perfection, so close.

Come to think of it, has there ever been a perfect record athlete? And I mean never lost their entire life across all levels?

I’m 75-0 in shadow boxing.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Yeah, he would have likely destroyed anyone in MMA, as long as he knew the basic weapons to avoid while shooting in.

Once he got a hold of anyone, they were going to get ragdolled.

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

Noway the Gracies risk bring Alex in for any early UFC while he was in his prime...

 

[A-Level Wrestler]

Jones has 1 loss and has been caught for steroids.

Mayweather came 3rd at the Olympics.

Jones loss don't count and lol at the roids stuff just lol and I'm talking about floyds pro career but i should have stated

Well, the original question said "undefeated across all levels", so your answer was wrong either you stated that or not

 

[shh]

There is a reason he was nicknamed "The Experiment".

Pretty sure Frank Dux was close to perfection

 

[krelianx]

He would have been a problem in any Japanese promotion. Any place with a morsel of testing, however...

 

[tymikeson]

The boxer Andre Ward came really close:

120 amature bouts..

Lost his first 5 fights as a 14 year old then....never lost again in the amatures or pros.

Amature: after the first 5 losses ....115 wins straight culminating in Olympic gold.

Pro - 32-0 with several world championships and will be a future hall of famer.

If you don't count his very first 5 losses as a young teen kid ..it's perfection.

Actually his loss does count and he did cheat and take the roids stuff
