Smith's flexibility was extraordinary and his defense was definitely on par with his flexibility. Truly a great american wrestler.

He's the man, but he's probably the least imposing wrestler i've ever seen. I'm sure he was strong as an ox, but he doesn't have that physique you see on this level of wrestling.
