This is a ranking of the best wrestlers in the world in Greco-Roman wrestling of all time. The athletes are ranked according to their World Championship and Olympic Games titles. If the number is the same, silver and bronze medals are also considered. Wrestlers who are still active and who can theoretically move up in the ranking, their names are highlighted in red. Newcomer to the 2022 ranking list, Rıza Kayaalp, made it to the finals as usual at the 2023 World Cup in Belgrade, Serbia. He was physically in top condition, but gave away the victory in the last seconds of the final fight and with it the possibility to equal Nikolay Balboshin in the medal ranking. Exactly the same fate has befallen Artur Aleksanyan, also new in the ranking list since 2022. (last updated: 2023)
