Well there you have it folks.
Jordan Burroughs is officially the greatest American wrestler of all time. There’s no more disputing that.
After going 4-0 on Thursday in Belgrade, Serbia, Burroughs won his seventh World or Olympic title in Friday’s final. That’s more than any American in history. Let that sink in for a second.
With his newest gold medal, Burroughs now has 10 total World or Olympic medals and is an undefeated 10-0 in medal matches.
