Its not about Rhoden being as good as or even better than Wheeler, its about comparing the shape both guys had and acknowledging Rhoden is as close to Wheeler as anyone has been. I very much doubt he will finish his career as accomplished as Flex, but the man is riding on the crest of a very high wave right now and its a relief to see.
Forget if's, but's and maybe's, he is probably the one guy that most casual fans would prefer to look like and destroys everyone in the modern era for shape.
