You guys are idiots if you think some of those names deserve to be on "top 10 grapplers ever" list, which is stupid in itself seeing as how none of you have lived since the birth of man, meaning none of you have seen every grappler on the planet to determine a list if this nature.

True, but Sperry outweighed him by 50 lbs. or more.
I understand what you're saying, but when you have people listing their opinions of the top 10 best grapplers ever, and each of those grappler's bases are BJJ and they are still alive, causes the whole whole idea if listing them pretty idiotic. Your argument using the basketball scenario isn't very good either. Grappling was the first sport ever. Its been around since the dawn of man, to create a list of the top 10 grapplers ever, you would either have to be the biggest history buff ever (which is still flawed, since you havent witnessed some of the grapplers, that you might list based on folk tales,etc) or you'd have to have lived since the begining of man. Basketball is a pretty new sport, really, so creating a list of the top ten basketball players wouldn't be nearly as difficult as making a grapplers list. I do understand you though, making a list of the top ten best grapplers in the past century would be highly realistic. So yeah, you win the argument as far as that goesjohil d'o said:So if you haven't lived since Day 1 of Creation you can't opine as to who is the greatest basketball player, scientist, miler, grappler, etc.? Man, you have a serious IQ deficit.
