this is true. i seriously doubt he can turn it around at this point tho. he's been on the decline for a couple of years now and it seems like the window to his best days is closing.

CONGRATS TO AHMAD! CANT WAIT TO SEE HIM ON STAGE.
IMO HE HAS ONE OF THE BEST PHYSIQUES IN THE IFBB

Martinez to win.

Freeman second.

Branch Warren (if he's on point) to come third.

I disagree. He should've beat him last year IMO. But with his tricep injury we'll see how it plays out.

1st Victor
2nd Kai
3rd Freeman
4th Branch

Agreed.

Although i think Silvio will probably get 5th and Gus 6th.

I like Gustavo, so i'm hoping he can pull it together and have a good showing.

alnassak · « **Reply #16 on:** December 26, 2008, 10:58:06 PM »

I think Ahmed Haidar will have the prettiest physique on stage. However, I am sure that they will over look him and under rate him because of” the politics issue”

Well,,

That is how it will be:

1st Victor Martinez is the favorite to win the show and the rest will be as follows:
2nd Toney Freeman
3rd Kai Green
4th Branch Warren
5th Silvio Samuel
6th Dennis James

bahrain · « **Reply #17 on:** December 29, 2008, 11:16:25 AM »

My expectation is that the champ will be either silvio or victor or haider.

adipo8 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 29, 2008, 01:02:58 PM »

x- ready for the Battle. Has the Conditioning down. Presentation is one of the best ! 9 shows in 08 ..... 09 Bigger( the only one on the top who can afford the increase) Conditioning is going to be classic. 6'2 288 - x vs. 5'9 240 Victor ....... Should be one for the ages .....

mass 04 · « **Reply #19 on:** December 29, 2008, 01:03:53 PM »

Toney,

Why do you feel Phil Heath cannot afford to put on more size?

bigdumbbell · « **Reply #21 on:** December 29, 2008, 08:51:45 PM »

i'm going with the 6'2" 288 for the title

This is a make-or-break year for Gustavo. He's not getting any younger!

Who is Baddel working with? He was a "threat" when he worked with Milos; now he's slowly fading into the abyss.
