He looks like he’s got the legs to go into a CJ battle with Rahimov. 2 years and [fingers crossed] no injuries in training maybe we could see a legendary battle with a 215 CJ in the 77’s. Kinda interesting side note, those guys have similar levers and proportions if I’m not mistaken

i’m not sure we’ll see a 215 in a long time. Rahimov barely made it, and only because he was made to by Lu XiaoJun having 12 kg more in snatch for the Olympic gold.
My point is : it was circumstantial and he barely succeeded.
keep in mind this weight is in-sane for 77 (personaly i’m hoping he gets caught for doping)

Of course its training and he might be@80+ kg but this would have won gold in the supers at Rome Olympics 1960! And he is 18?! Mind boggling.
