Wow talk about hero worship running amok! Gable was great no doubt but he had his tough moments. He lost many times in freestyle before he got his legs in that area. Larry Owings beat him pretty soundly, life was not all easy for Gable at times on the mat. He isn't a God, lots of people extended him but the point is he was very very tough and overcame a lot to get where he was and is. Give him his due but he was flesh and blood and he can get beat just like Sanderson can and did last week. No doubt two of the three or four best ever from this country and in the top ten in the world all time I think (Sanderson will be by the time he is done I believe). But it wasnt and isnt easy even for them.
