Title: Will Toney Freeman win the big one this year?
Post by: GoneAway on February 25, 2007, 05:56:46 AM: Just won 2 shows and looked incredible from the front. Could improve his back, but if he does by 10% come Olympia time he's a huge threat. I admit, when I saw his photos from one of his wins recently, I thought "the next Ronnie." With time, who knows.

Your thoughts?

Top 10 yes. He'll probably place 3rd @ the Arnold and 6th-8th at the O.

You're right his conditioning already suffered from the Ironamn to now , noticeable difference if he continues to compete he won't be as sharp as he could be but again its the catch 22 you've established yourself a a top tier pro capable of winning shows and making money for the first time in your career or save your conditioning for the big one , but its safe to assume he's not going to be a threat at the Olympia , especially not this year and I personally think he'll get lost in the Olympia field I think it will be hard for him to crack the top 10 , but you never know.
