I think he had that motorbike accident a short time before the Olympia 2004, the one he cracked Top 10.

I liked his physic a lot especialy sine he did not try to compete with the beef... he never took synthol who ever thinks so is an idiot.

He always said he didn't use Synthol. Technically he might be correct but he has definitely injected something into those buggers.

SERGIO!!!!

They think that having muscles = good fighter.

Wrong in most cases, however, with Ernie Taylor, he is actually a good fighter and did karate before bodybuilding - his flexibility is good and he's certainly no slouch in the ring.

Post by: MisterMagoo on December 19, 2006, 12:38:55 PM: the tragedy is that he had a good physique aside from his triceps and later his quads and calves. tiny-ass waist, surprisingly wide back.
