Teddy's records is astronomical. I was reading it to my wife the other day and she was like "are you done yet" lol😂
What were you really doing when she asked you that? 🤔
Shohei Ono i think is better
Wow, awesome! I used to study his armbar videos back in the day. His brother, Chris Adams, was a legendary professional wrestler and the man who trained "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
Loved Koga's ippon seio and the sode. Dude made it to the final of the all japan championship. Had to get through goons 30-40kgs heavier than him.
Dude had beautiful judo.
Brian Jacks was a class act.
The 6 ft 8 Teddy Riner only became dominant after they banned attacks on legs... coincidence I think not
Fun fact: he's almost identical to the Greco-Roman Legacy heavyweight Mijan Lopez🤔😆
The take-home message is shorter athletes are at a disadvantage when they're not allowed to attack their opponent's legs🔥
Well said
Judo seems so much rougher. Those guys are like anchored into the floor
Double leg and bye bye
@@redachraibi5993wrestling gets countered pretty hard by judo. Especially when the judo guy is expecting you to shoot them doubles
Source: trust me bro fr
@@redachraibi5993 it can be fairly efficent to do a sacrifice throw to your opponent when they shoot for the double leg, it is in fact so deadly that the move is prohibited in BJJ: you can't sacrifice throw if your opponent goes for one or two leg because the throw is very risky for them.
so arguing that double leg would somehow counter Judo is not really the take you think it is
Teddy is the GOAT
Teddy is a judo legend, but he also had a lot of physical traits going for him. He's 6'8" and weighs over 300lbs of solid muscle. If he were a few inches shorter and 50lbs lighter, would he still have had the same success? Probably not.
Strange thing to say that would apply to almost every single sports athlete ever in history
These rankings have to be adjusted for weight. Judo ain't what it used to be. A big biz now, a circus. Go back to the 50s up to the 70s for truly great Judo. Less was more...
Yamashita's last win against Saito was complete bs
How so?
Teddy the GOAT
shido-ka. he robbed inoue imo
Let me guess there going to say, it’s because of teddy’s physique..👏
Big fan Neil but you're so . . . off target on this one. Riner was 'big" and to be fair he had some technique, but not much. He was however definitely the indisputed champion of obi-tying and time-wasting. Have you seen the video of when he visited the Kodokan? His behaviour with respect to etiquette was absolutely disgraceful and, world champion or not, I'm sure that my old Sensei Kenshiro Abe would have asked him to leave the dojo. For sure If you put a pound for pound Riner up against Koga, Inue or Ono Teddy would spend a lot of time on his back examining the dojo ceiling. For me Riner dominated the mat as the king of boredom and he'll never be a true Judoka as long as he has a hole in his arse. In fact, Judo wise, Riner is the diametric opposite of yourself in every respect.
the way Chuck Norris and Judo Gene defer to Bruce Lee out of respect.
This goof on the right is one of the reason Judo is Dead. He n his buddies made so many new rules along the years and turned Judo to their own drama, a useless MA
Who chris Adams brother?
And Klishko is the greatest boxer??? 😂
no he have just the best physic
Lol. Keep hating.
No offense, sorry my Dear but the greatest IS ... French ... Teddy Riner ❤
Agreed
Its arguable wether or not he's the best in history but he's the best living
that s the whole video, did you even watch it.
Be accurate. He's from Gaudelopue. You've colonised him into Frenchness🤣
@@jb9433 What does that even mean? Is Guadeloupe more a French colony than Colorado or Wyoming are US colonies? Did the US colonise Mike Tyson or Michael Jordan into American-ness?
Reiner is like 6ft 90. He’s the Shaquille O’Neal of judo. Doesn’t count.
Nah...not even close....
1. Yamashita
2. Koga
3. Ono
Come on !!! The "greatest" judo competitor of all time ?! is Riner? No, he is not !!! If you meant the "biggest" , then maybe,... The guy was good, and just that. His technique albeit at Olympic level was not comparable to many others and his judo relied a **lot** on his size! Koga was one of the greatest, ... and so, but so many Japanese that come way, way before Riner in the list of the "greatest" judokas
How about: Teddy Riner is the most dominant judo competitor?
Yeah, plus all of his wins by penalty
Much ado about nothing!
Shohei is more dominant imo. And his technique is better. Abe is dominant also and he doesn't really have a size advantage. I wouldn't say he's the greatest or the most dominant
@@sungjinkim712 Sure Shohei Ono has an impressive gold medal collection but it's not even remotely close to Teddy's
