Title: Olympia - Melvin Anthony's Top 3 Olympia Prediction
Post by: lift 456 on September 14, 2008, 08:41:46 AM
I have to admit.  When Melvin went on PBW and predicted he will be 3rd at the Olympia I thought he was smoking some of Ronnie Coleman's crack.  His win in Atlantic City is making me a believer.  If he can get about 10% harder, he could give Young Heath some trouble.

Melvin looked great last night but he won't be in the top 3 at the Olympia.

Should make the top 6 if he sharpens his condition the next 2 weeks.

He beat Toney Freeman handily yesterday.  He was shorter but was way more conditioned.

you're smoking crack, Melvin is far too small and soft to finish top 3 at the olympia, he might get 6th or 7th if he's lucky, overrated physique.

i wouldn't say he's second tier but he DEFINITELY isn't one of the top 5 guys at all.

Agree with you.  Not a shot in hell that Soft Melvin makes top 3.

MELVIN, DOES NOT HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE IN THE TOP 3. MAYBE TOP 6.  :o

If Melvin drys out a tad more, i think its possible for a top 6 at the OLYMPIA all the best to him.

I don't think Melvin Goodrum will be top 3 anytime soon...
Title: Re: Melvin's Top 3 Olympia Prediction

hardly make the top 5!

Depending on what Heath looks like, I see it like this...

Jay
Dex
Wolf
Heath
Melvin

Melvin may find it hard to hold his condition for the next couple of weeks without losing even more size.

Standing by himself he is amazing. In 2005? when he placed 5th he was incredible but he doesn't have the size to knock of Jay or Dex or Wolf but Wolf will get screwed anyway

he spent his energy at Atlantic -

"This sets me up for a good placing at the Olympia," Anthony said. "I wanted to come in as hard as I could to knock Toney [Freeman] off and put myself in the same lineup as Dexter [Jackson] and Phil [Heath]."

One Show has nothing to do with another.

The O is the Super Bowl of BB - This year is Open!

Congrats on the win, Mele Mel.  ;)
Laugh at the getbig haters here and just come in as shredded as possible for the O. With your God given shape they'll have to rip you off to deny you top 5 if you are shredded.
Peace

Actually, he looks better than he has all year. DIaling in at the right moment. But the competition is going to be tough, tougher than last year with Heath in the line-up and probabaly an improved Wolf and a less-soft Cutler.

Melv can still make top 5, with Victor and Ronnie out of the mix.

True, only good thing or him is that Vic is not there. Ronnie could have got a sympathy vote also. I must say I'm surprised he beat Freeman so convincingly while evrybody was talking about the X-man.

Post by: lvtolft on September 15, 2008, 10:04:46 AM
I am definitely for physiques like Melvin's.  But I do think the lower body is still to small compared to Heath or Dexter.  Bring up the legs a little more and he can beat anyone.

Even his conditioning last weekend will not get him 3rd at the Olympia.  Too many better guys on that stage. Might be able to muster 6th place.
