There have been lots of BB that were soooo close or even should have been Mr O.

I start with,,,,,,Rich Gaspari.

Genetically poor, he stated that he literally would have died to be Mr O....I believe him.

GASPARI looked good in 87-88, but burned himself out (including a pec ter) and it was a slow decline to this:

1981, Danny Padilla. I'd also be ok with Platz winning the 1981 Olympia also. Franco winning was a travesty.

Flex Wheeler is the best ALMOST Mr. O of all time.

I posted it before: a Mr O should look strong....Flex never did. Levrone and Shawn Ray did so...

I always wondered if Demayo had Mr O potential.......I think he had. Top 3 at least.

Levrone came close to winning the Olympia quite a few times.

Levrone lacked back in comparison to his competition at the day.....Yeates, Ray, Coleman....
Was a teriific BB in shoulders, arms, quads. Amazing.

Whats wrong, you couldn't find a more unflattering pic of Mentzer?

Then, you post the giganto pic of Arnold, like an asshole.

You suck at the internet.

Never understood the White thong... Didn't Vince CSN MFT also sport a white thong once?

The Scott · « **Reply #23 on:** July 07, 2016, 07:33:57 PM »

In no particular order Menzter, Padilla and Paris come to mind. Mentzer walked and whined away when he should have returned with a vengeance. Padilla was robbed too as was Paris.
