"Also, I hear what you are saying but still don't agree. Once again, most of those guys that are at 106 would have gone to 103 but just didn't have to. Those guys didn't have to cut as much weight and work as hard to make weight so it is not tougher by that measuring stick for sure."
I have a son at 106 X, so please don't get on here saying that 106 pounders don't have to cut as much weight and work hard! You don't know how hard they work and how much weight they have to cut!! I think I know how hard my son works on technique and weight management!
Sorry you got offended Prieto. Its not about you or your son though. Its about a comment made that "106 was much tougher than 103". The comment was not only inappropriate and disrespectful but it was also inaccurate. My son had it just as tough at 103 as anyone did at 106 if not tougher. When that derogatory comment was made about 103 I don't remember you jumping to chastise the person that made that comment so don't be trying to chastise me for defending 103. Yes of course I know your son wrestles at 106 because I now dang good and well who you are. You'd think differently if your kid was at 103 instead of 106. If you don't think I know, then you obviously don't know who I am. Because if you did you would know that I do know. I lived it as a wrestler, a parent and a coach. The other guy spun the 103 vs 106 thing one way and I just spun it another. Surely you should have seen that at some level I was being sarcastic with the comments that apparently offended you. The point is that 103 was just as tough when my son wrestled at the weight as any 106 was and I provided a list that proves that by my assessment. I challenge anyone to dispute the sick validity of the list I provided. But hey Prieto since you chimmed in, then you can tell me this. Your son is one of the top 106 pounders in the state for sure. If the weight was 103 instead of 106 would your kid go 103 or would he go 112? Be careful how you answer as you might be proving my point. If your kid would have had to go to 103 to be at that smallest weight, then you would know what my son had to go through to cut the last 3 pounds. You would know how hard he had to work and how "tough" that made him, physically and mentally. I believe he became stronger because of that. I now how hard your son works Prieto, that's why he's so good. But that doesn't make 106 tougher.
