My list is different as I have only watched Iowa wrestling the last 13-14 years.
125 - Spencer
133 - Ramos
141 - Eierman
149 - Lugo
157 - Young
165 - Marinelli
174 - Kemerer
184 - Angelo
197 - Buchanan
Hwt - Cass

I was debating between Bull and Mikey. Mikey finished higher but Bull won 4 B1G titles.

I'll keep an eye on this thread as I'm curious what you guys think. I get Brands, Banachs, Williams are all legit. I need to read up more on Iowa wrestling 70s-00s.
I know names but not accomplishments.

This makes sense, since wrestling was invented in 2011.

133- Randy Lewis (2x NC, Olympic Gold)

157- TJ Williams (2x NC, 98-1 at Iowa)

Only been a fan since 2011, you had great teams 20-30 years ago!

Yep, definitely LewBoo too, not to mention Terry.

Call me crazy, but I think Metcalf beats McIlravy if they meet in their respective primes.

Love watching old clips of Joe Williams. Such an incredible athlete.

Sat next to Joe at NCAAs in Tulsa. Dude looks like he could still tear it up.

I won't make a list by weight but seeing as I have followed Iowa wrestling since the 70's. I will say that Randy Lewis was the best wrestler I ever saw that wore the singlet.

Also, he was and is the nicest person you will ever meet.

I've gotten to meet and interact with him a few times. He is a genuinely awesome and just likeable person. Hope he's doing well again health wise.
