#26	Anonymous Coward October 23 at 10:26pm how bout ya give Robles a break, he's got one leg, he was born that way and ya should at least some empathy to give him credit for how well he does reply
#25	Sherms October 9 at 8:34am For being a one-legged wrestler, Anthony Robles has true talent and will forever be a motivational story in the sport of Wrestling. Keep it up man. reply
#24	Waffles September 17 at 1:27am advantage on top only. disadvantage on bottom and neutral reply
#23	Brandon Hancock September 5 at 10:50am huh said: “your a , robles has ONE leg........he is the one with an unfair DISadvantage, although he is very very strong, having one leg takes alot out of his move list, and makes him very unbalanced compared to the balance of other kids with two legs....” agreed, not to mention he killed sanders at ncaa's. he got so pissed reply
#22	Ok September 5 at 10:43am really the only position robles has advantage is top, but he needs that extra strength cause he cant apply hip pressure, still in neutral and bottom hes still at a huge disadvantage...... reply
#21	John Barr September 5 at 10:23am how can you say he has an advantage. yes, he has a lot of upper body strength, but everyone he wrestles has an advantage on him. they all have an extra leg reply
#20	Huh August 25 at 10:15pm Anonymous Coward said: “Robles has an unfair advantage ... huge upper body, like a 157lber vs. 125lbers --- yeah, real fair. Good to see Sanders beat him.” your a , robles has ONE leg........he is the one with an unfair DISadvantage, although he is very very strong, having one leg takes alot out of his move list, and makes him very unbalanced compared to the balance of other kids with two legs.... reply
#19	Toolman August 16 at 3:35pm How it is said: “This kid Robles has a huge advantage, he has the upper body strength of a 174 pounder and nobody can hit a double leg, switch, or ride legs one this guy, I think it is unfair that he wrestles this weight” I agree, how you suppose to shoot on this guy and that upper body strength is crazy on Robles. reply
#18	Ed The Doober July 16 at 11:10pm Oh yeah, Anthony beat Sanders at the NCAAs. That alone is a testament to how hard of a worker and how great of an athlete he is. reply
#17	Ed The Doober July 16 at 11:07pm Technically, anyone can downblock on one knee for a whole match. Just watch Chase Pami from Cal Poly. He spends all of his freakin' matches on his knees. Not that I have a problem with that. That is just how he wrestles. reply
#16	Anonymous Coward July 4 at 9:41pm he only started wrestling in 9th ot 10th grade so he has less expirience than most top ranked guys also i bet he dosnt look at it like a disadvantage so why should we its just different reply
#15	ChrisJohnson May 10 at 9:19pm He has the biggest dis-advantage in the world almost, one leg, body strength didn't make him a good wrestler, Pure will and practice did, took him a lot longer to get where is at than Sanders. reply
#14	Anonymous Coward April 15 at 9:24am ya know what i think is a disadvantage....haveing one leg duhhh reply
#13	How It Is March 26 at 9:10pm This kid Robles has a huge advantage, he has the upper body strength of a 174 pounder and nobody can hit a double leg, switch, or ride legs one this guy, I think it is unfair that he wrestles this weight reply
#12	Cschrupp March 25 at 2:46am I don't think it's totally out of the question to say that it's an advantage for Robles. He has been wrestling, what, his whole life like that? In college, Sanders will probably run into him a few more times, but aside from that, how many of us have ever wrestled someone with one leg who is allowed to sit on it for the entire match? I do think that Robles is at a disadvantage with having one leg, but he also has an advantage. Guys basically have to drop down and go upper body with him instead of being able to attack the legs. I'm sure it's an odd situation that could force even the best wrestlers out of their usual style. reply
#11	Anonymous Coward March 23 at 9:47am Comment to Just Saying: The city of Mesa Arizona has a wrestling program that all Mesa Public Schools participate in which includes the 7th grade thru 9th Grade. I have seen him wrestle since he was in 7th Grade. Mesa Public Schools, all freshmans attend a Junior High School, they are elgible for participation at the High School Level and participate in the Junior High School athletic activities. reply
#10	Zach Gerberick March 20 at 1:20pm He is now an all-american ...he's a beast and an inspiration and a flat out good person. He has a chance to win a national title as a soph, he's in the semis. Go Robles! reply
#9	Just Saying March 19 at 4:23pm robles started wrestling as a freshman in high school so i doubt you saw much of him in the 7th grade reply
#8	Anonymous Coward March 16 at 4:09pm Robles is a great wrestler. I have watched him wrestle since he was in the 7th grade and the secret to his greatness is: 1.) He is a fighter, so the fight is not an issue with him. He fights every day to be normal. 2.) His upper body strength, wingspan and incredible grip he has with his hands. 3.) When you wrestle him, you wrestle his style and pace. He never comes at you, but wait for you to pursue him. reply
#7	Robles March 13 at 8:53am Go Sanders!! Minnesota rules. reply
#6	Brian Wymer March 11 at 2:25pm robles...wat a great wrestler...in the semis at las vegas....gud job man i have a alottt of respect for u! reply
#5	Anonymous Coward December 21, 2008 at 5:53pm Haha wow, how can you say that someone without one of their legs has an advantage? Anthony Robles is simply a flat out stud. He may have more upper body strength, but if you understand this great sport, you realize that a great majority of lower body strength is needed. I can see where you're coming from, but then again... He has but only one leg. reply
#4	Anonymous Coward December 21, 2008 at 5:26pm Robles has an unfair advantage ... huge upper body, like a 157lber vs. 125lbers --- yeah, real fair. Good to see Sanders beat him. reply
#3	Anonymous Coward December 16, 2008 at 6:06pm Not funny at all, this kid is amazing. He should be an inspiration to everyone. reply
#2	Jaime Granillo December 12, 2008 at 10:39am wild reply
#1	Anonymous Coward December 9, 2008 at 4:11am This Robles guy is no joke. Love the tilt. reply
