I think it depends on how you measure the "best" freestyle win...
If the question is just who has beaten the opponent with the best past credentials, it is hard to argue against a win over a past world champ. However, and not to take anything away from Caleb at all, it is hard for me to rank a win in a bronze medal match at a ranking series event over Mekhi's gold medal win at the U20 world championships, just given the significance of that win. To me, it's a bit like ranking the best collegiate wins of all time for VT wrestlers. As good as Vito was, I wouldn't rank Latona's dual win over Vito in the same category as Mekhi over Joseph or Caleb over Gomez for NCAA titles.

What about toughest? Because Caleb's win over Elahi might've been better
