Alexander Karelin
Just showing off one of my favorite cards. His only issue, I believe. 2 PSA 9s, 1 PSA 10. Arguably the most dominant athlete ever -- he went a decade without giving up even a single point. I guess Olympic wrestlers don't get the hobby love that the entertainers get, but whatever.
PS despite appearances Karelin was an intellectual, an accomplished chess player and devotee of the arts.
