I might agree that Rybakov has done great things in the snatch but Naim did better as both a bantam and a featherweight if you go by ratio to bodyweight. Blagoev at 90kg. impressed me more with 195.5 and Zacherevich doing 200 at 100kilo class as well as N. Vlad topping that are more impressive to me.

IMO this man is the best snatcher that has ever lived. I'm showing my age but so what. I remember Palinski of Poland setting a fantastic c&j record in this class of 180 kilos back in 1960. Not in my wildest imagination did I ever think that a lght hvy would snatch more.
