Actually, he weighed 260-even in 1994 (he talked about how he was 'bigger' in Flex), 255 in 1995 and around 260 in 96. In 1997, he was 266 during Pre-judging and after gaining 4 pounds overnight, was 270 during the Finals. Flex magazine's Mr. O report talked about how 'the champ seemed to feel very comfortable comparing his 270 lbs to Nasser's 270 lbs'.

Is it just me or does anyone else also think that Peter McGough's contest reports (and his writing style / humour) were some of the best? When you read his reports, you felt as if you were actually witnessing the show yourself. Contrast that to the third-rate reports of Johnny fitness from Muscle mag(a no-talent, piece of crap whose writing style a third grader would be embarrased to have).

And speaking of report(er)s, anyone know what happened to John Little who used to write for flex? Dude's column was great. All the assholes here who put down Pro-bodybuilding (and pro-bodybuilders) - god knows why they hang around this forum - could learn a thing or two on how to be humourous about bodybuilding without insulting the bodybuilders themselves.

Is it the same John Little who's a heavy duty disciple and writes for Ironman?

He did look lighter, but he was actually heavier than 1995 (he didnt fill out fully for the finals - probably due to being cautious with the 'diuretics testing' that was implemented that year). There was a quote from Nasser saying something along the lines of, 'how could Dorian say he was heavier this year (than 95), when he LOOKED lighter? When did he weigh himself ?' etc. I think he was about 260 (at least according to him anyway).
