he's too plain and blah, nothing on him stands out or pops, he's just another run of the mill pro.

While I think he's consistently underplaced, he would be a top contender only at a weak pro show. And he's 40 now... so his best days are behind him.

If they were holding the Masters again, do you think you could handle him, Chick?  :)

the thing that cracks me up is that as much as these pros these days talk and hype themselves up none of them except for Cutler, Ronnie, Branch and maybe Lee show the development of Shawn Ray, most underrated bb'er ever IMO.

on his worse day he gets more putang than you..

I am willing to bet that if he really skinny, younger (under 18) and worked out at your gym that you would ask him to take his pants off so that you could measure his thighs in relations to your biceps.

you might even drive through 2 feet of snow on backday to get to him

Compared to Branch Warren, he's Dennis Newman.

them and Shawn Ray are easily in the top ten of all time, the early 90's pros were LIGHT YEARS ahead of todays pros, how can you compare those guys to Melvin Anthony, Jonnie Jackson, Troy Alves, Toney Freeman, Ahmed Haider, etc.?
Title: Re: Troy Alves
Post by: MRMD2003 on February 13, 2007, 03:13:34 PM
i agree. . the 90's had the best bb's of all time. coleman, yates, levrone, wheeler, comier, ray and francois were monsters !!!!!

He's going to retire.. after 40, you can't do much unless you're Vince Taylor

Troy's physique is definitely as aesthetic and proportional as Dennis' was.

True about Vince - he kept improving until 45.

It's true: Black don't crack.

I think there's a strong case to be made for Albert Beckles' 2nd place Olympia finish at the age of 55 (ahead of Gaspari, Christian, and Platz!) as the greatest feat in the contest's history.

Speaking of this, Troy's physique is definitely as aesthetic and proportional as Dennis' was.  Troy is 5'8 and Dennis is 5'10 which isn't much different either.  It's just that Dennis is a pretty white boy which is why we aspire to look like him and not Troy.  If Troy had the face of Dennis, I'm sure people would give him a lot more props.

Troy could not carry Dennis's gym bag

hope this help  8)
