There's no maybe, you nor anyone else on this forum would even come close to him. The skill required for wrestling, especially in the weight classes, is second to none.McBeth only had high hopes to play college baseball. Never actually did play.
I think Wiggins probably has more talent for baseball(and disc golf) than McBeth.
By your metric I'm a far superior talent than all these chumps except maybe Ben Askren, I broke a couple D1 school records.
Cam Todd shouldn't be counted out either, especially coming off his win out THERE earlier this year.
FTFY
The weakness that I see in Paul's game is that he often doesn't really crank it up until after one or two rounds. In a three round format, that doesn't leave much time.

Feel better?
This is why worlds is such a huge event and really the most important tourney. So many rounds that Mcbeth plays right at or above his rating average. Over the course of 4,5,6 rounds, Mcbeth is the only person that really can maintain that consistency IMO. I do think Ricky is having an excellent year and a better year than Mcbeth, however. So are many other guys. What Mcbeth did last year is what I believe truly made a handful of guys start to play better. These guys probably got tired of coming in second all the time and by so many strokes. There really is a ceiling in dg for everyone. Mcbeth has reach that ceiling and now a few others are starting to climb so it makes it appear as though Mcbeth is struggling when he's really not. People are just pushing him more and playing better
I'd agree with one exception, Paul's putting isn't quite right, or at least by last year's measure. But given the knee injury, what can you expect? He looked better at EM, but I'm dying to see Worlds once he's had a little more time to get back in shape. If he is fully on, and RW plays as he has been, it will be a slugfest that will make 4, 5, and 6 well worth watching. Talk about a war of nerves. And if they aren't careful, someone could sneak up on them. It will be fun no matter what.
^ I don't think anyone is saying that Ricky's current season is better than McBeth's 2015, or even 2014. He is having a better year THIS SEASON, though. Injury shminjury. It's part of being a professional athlete. If it's bothering someone so much, take some time off, otherwise I don't want to hear about it. Especially not every single time said athlete comes up short.
The whole "oh but he almost lost it" is silly, too. He led from wire to wire with exception of parts of the final round. You want him to lead for 54 holes in every event and win my 10 shots? That is not how it works. McBeth's World titles came by the skin of his teeth on more than one occasion. Just like Ricky has had a tendency to limp down the home stretch (not so much this year), Paul has shown tendency to start slow. Since all rounds count the same, there isn't much difference between the 2. Plus, Ricky has chased down Paul and outperformed him down the stretch more times than not this season. Speaking of the euro Masters, Paul led by 1 with 2 holes to play, and let Ricky stroke him on each of the last 2 holes.
McBeth being soooo good is what makes someone other than him outplaying him that much more exciting. These types of debates are not an indictment on Paul, as much as a show of respect for what a beast he is. I just like to play devil's advocate, while making sure Ricky gets his due respect. This has been my favorite season since I started 4 years ago, from a spectator POV.
I'm definitely more skilled in my craft/sport which has been my argument.FTFY
You completely misinterpreted that. "by your metric"There's no maybe, you nor anyone else on this forum would even come close to him. The skill required for wrestling, especially in the weight classes, is second to none.
Uh oh let's get into a sports debate!
