victor was never known for conditioning but, has been successful based on mass, round muscle bellies, great , wide structure and lines.. if he losses 3 out of 4 of those qualities to opt for conditioning he is done.. no body expects a shredded vic.. but they do expect a mass monster with great lines..
and i agree with stavios.. bring the noc look and he is toast.. the noc did not have a 245 pound heath, a 260 pound kai, and a 235 pound dexter.. so put a (noc) 230 pound victor in the mix and 5th place here i come.. now if he somehow mysteriously puts on the old mass in the next couple of weeks then he has a shot like every one else.. dont see it happening though..
