Make no bones about it. Chris Taylor is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time not just at Iowa State, but in the entire world. The Michigan native won two NCAA national championships at Iowa State as a heavyweight. No weight limits existed in either the NCAA or Olympics, so Taylor often wrestled while weighing in well clear of 400 pounds. Even for his incredible size, Taylor was an extremely technically gifted wrestler with surprising quickness. Entering the 1972 Munich Olympics, 22 year-old Chris Taylor was expected to be one of the gold medal favorites in both freestyle and Greco-Roman.
