Wow, Zain is getting tougher and tougher...

I think Retherford is a dirty wrestler. Watch how he constantly has an open hand in the face of his opponents, nearly gouging the eyes. Watch some of his matches with Pico, why do you think they almost come to blows?

There was a post a couple months back about Retherford vs a healthy Hunter Stieber. Anyone think Stieber, even if healthy, would beat Retherford this season?

The only way to beat Retherford is to stop him on your feet and get out on bottom. I don't think Hunter matches up well with him but I would have said the same about Kellen Russell.

The Kellen Russell match can be used to say Stieber CAN beat anyone, but it shouldn't be used to say he WOULD. Regardless, I think when it's all said and done, Retherford will have a better career than Russell did (and I'm a big Kellen Russell fan). Retherford is just that good.

No way Tshirt is a 100% healthy. Now I'm not saying Rutherford doesn't beat him but Tshirt wasn't even defending some of the TD.

He's not. And he lost his sister recently from what I've read.

Retherford would be the favorite, but HS could beat him.

"nearly" is an important word in your post.

No, not at this point.

When Zain beat Logan, there was a "totality of the circumstances" factor, however, he was still fierce.

He is still fierce...but now he has some heft and swagger to accompany it.
