The correct answer is:
Ghulam Mohammad Baksh (22 May 1878 – 23 May 1960), better known by the ring name The Great Gama, was a wrestler from the Indian subcontinent.
Born in Amritsar village Jabbowal, then in the Punjab Province of British India, in 1878, he was awarded the Indian version of the World Heavyweight Championship on 15 October 1910, and went on to defeat grappling champions across the world. Undefeated in a career spanning more than 52 years, he is considered one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.
According to legend, he apparently lifted a stone weighing 1,000 kg! (Which may be an exaggeration, but he was known for being one of the world's strongest men in his time.) Also, Bruce Lee was greatly inspired by Gama's training and conditioning, and incorporated them into his own training and conditioning (hence why Lee could lift weights heavier than his own body).Last edited by aAgger; 11-02-2018, 05:41 PM.
