It looks like he quit wrestling and switched to basketball when he was a teenager.

Quote

 

When that body started growing — eventually topping out at 7-foot-1 in his late teenage years — Goldin realized he was focusing on the wrong sport. “They started grabbing my legs,” Goldin said. “And I said, ‘OK, I achieved my peak here.’ ”

 

THEN HE SHOULD HAVE WRESTLED GRECO

Anyone remember the Polish giant that Bruce Baumgartner use to struggle with?  Just awkward. 

Adam Sandurski (No Penn State jokes please) 7'

I remember Chasimikov picking him up like a rag doll. I think he helicoptered spun him.

And somehow when the weight class dropped to 264 (120kg) he made it.
