Well, if Desanto beat Lee, no way Lee beats Taylor.Who do you think would have won a wrestling match in high school between David Taylor and Spencer Lee?
Spencer was a 3 timer most likely 4 if not for the injury and Taylor was a 4 timer who bumped up 4 weight classes his Senior year .. So this would be a dream matchup to see IMO.Well, if Desanto beat Lee, no way Lee beats Taylor.
Cue the injury discussion in 3, 2, 1.
But, Taylor was only in Ohio.Spencer was a 3 timer most likely 4 if not for the injury and Taylor was a 4 timer who bumped up 4 weight classes his Senior year .. So this would be a dream matchup to see IMO.
Which means he averaged a Dake. Case closed.Spencer was a 3 timer most likely 4 if not for the injury and Taylor was a 4 timer who bumped up 4 weight classes his Senior year .. So this would be a dream matchup to see IMO.
Plus he’s only 1 of two wrestlers to win the Ironman 4 times.DT also beat Steiber (4 timer in HS AND college) in high school in a lightweight bout. It was Steiber's only loss in high school.
What about Ditka Vs. a Hurricane? ... But the hurricanes name is Hurricane Ditka.What about Lee & Taylor vs Mike Ditka.

Ditka all day and in any street brawl.What about Lee & Taylor vs Mike Ditka.
Not sure lee beats steiber in high school just saying. I saw a match between steiber and taylor and it was closeWho do you think would have won a wrestling match in high school between David Taylor and Spencer Lee?
Agreed, Lee went unscored upon in more than one world championship while in HS. This isnt a fair match. Im as big a DT homer as the next guy but this aint close.This isn’t even a comp to me. At the same weight Taylor gets horsed around by Lee. At the hs level.
I would take kolat in high school against anyone
If your hypothesis is right, the OP will edit the thread title to “Truffle Shuffle” in three days!This thread .... [...] Teddy: Boy, you don't know nothing! Mighty Mouse is a cartoon. Superman's a real guy. There's no way a cartoon could beat up a real guy [...] Vern: maybe you're right. It'd be a good fight, though.
What about Taylor AND Lee against Chuck Norris?
Umm ... age group worlds often means 1 takedown + ankle lace roll to quick win.Agreed, Lee went unscored upon in more than one world championship while in HS. This isnt a fair match. Im as big a DT homer as the next guy but this aint close.
True, but Kolat was a year older than everyone (failed 8th grade on purpose).I would take kolat in high school against anyone
Also purposedly entered and took 3 rd at Midlands (when midlands was THEE measuring stick) while in HS.True, but Kolat was a year older than everyone (failed 8th grade on purpose).
I know he was great, just pointing out that he did effectively redshirt in high school. Not that uncommon with athletes these days, I guess.Also purposedly entered and took 3 rd at Midlands (when midlands was THEE measuring stick) while in HS.
You serious bro??
Verk would've been an underdog in that postseason. 3x champ Cam Coy was at his weight, and also in the same regional. Even without Coy, that was not an easy bracket -- Edmund Ruth finished 8th, and some Luke Gardner guy finished 5th.I remember well, and havent forgotten how Verk was robbed of Jr year postseason either😉
Im guessing you picked Taylor?
Edit: To Jefe
Did Lee have a chance in HS at a "comparable win"? Didn't he wrestle whoever stepped across the mat from him?Verk would've been an underdog in that postseason. 3x champ Cam Coy was at his weight, and also in the same regional.

In any case, yes, I would've taken Taylor. Both were good enough on bottom to negate the other's top scoring. It would've come down to who's better on feet -- and Lee in high school had gotten in the habit of not shooting much because he didn't have to. (1 slide-by, then Lee ends the match on top.)
Also, Taylor's win over Stieber showed he was capable of beating someone at Lee's level. Lee never had a comparable HS folk win (best were FR Sasso, JR DeSanto, and SO Ryan Anderson).

His freshman year, Luke Pletcher was 1 weight up. Pletcher was 1 yr ahead of Lee. They would've met at regionals and states.Did Lee have a chance in HS at a "comparable win"? Didn't he wrestle whoever stepped across the mat from him?
I'm saying at any point in their career lol. The post question is spencer lee vs taylor they aren't close to the same ageTrue, but Kolat was a year older than everyone (failed 8th grade on purpose).
Did wrestling fans in PA expect Lee to move up and take on those talents then? I don't remember now.His freshman year, Luke Pletcher was 1 weight up. Pletcher was 1 yr ahead of Lee. They would've met at regionals and states.
Lizak and Scott Parker were also in that bracket, so it wouldn't have been just about a 1-on-1 with Pletcher.

You have your pick of examples to show that age group world medals may not be the best gauge, and you choose Verk as the example, over Richie Lewis?Umm ... age group worlds often means 1 takedown + ankle lace roll to quick win.
Reminder that Verk won cadet worlds, did not give up a score in 3 of his 4 matches, yet did not win PA states until his SR year.
Seriously doubt anyone would put Verk up against Taylor at any stage of their careers.
Now we know who remembered Lewis got one.You have your pick of examples to show that age group world medals may not be the best gauge, and you choose Verk as the example, over Richie Lewis?
