There are several points that seperate Ely from Bahe.

On the national level, Ely has been ranked by several ranking services. To my knowledge Bahe has not. Ely placed 2nd in GR at the Southern Plains regional ahead of Caldwell. Ely was 40-0 in 05 before losing to Altman at State. His bracket last year that he won was tougher than Bahe's. Ely beat Nick Shumate and Adam Almaguer 12-2 in the finals. Bowen and Seaton are tough, but Shumate could beat them both.

It has to be understood that saying Bahe is not as good as Ely is not a slight on the 2X champion. He is plenty tough. I'm just saying that on a national level, wrestlers like Ely, Cotton, Caldwell, Disney and Furches are a cut above in my opinion.
