throw Newman into the mix, it would make an interesting 3 way ( full steam ahead homo )

Newman would take it for me, Paris stood next to plenty big guys and still placed well, can't think of benfatto doing the same

Benfatto was too short, and out of proportion because of his large head. Something common to midgets.

Shawn Ray didn't like his look. I think it was something about his delts.
Add in Charles Chairmonte to the mix as well.

Forgot about Charlie, in his nabba uni days he was pretty much perfect, had sick conditioning back then too, far more ripped/deeper lines than the rest mentioned

Amazing how bodybuilding could go from that to what it is today

When you see pictures like that you think wow those were elite athletes, the best in their day. Just like you would with soccer or hockey players. When you see today's guys...

Guys like this give me hope and discipline for the long run.

Main reason I'm not massive is that I can't afford to abuse drugs. Secondly comes discipline... I'd probably chose temptation if I had the money lol... But I know going slow and steady pays off. Most guys his age have bellies as big as their shoulder width and blown out Palumbo/Kovacs triceps.
