"Unrealized potential" is not the same as "underrated."

i'm talking about underrated in the sense of being forgotten when speaking about the greats of all time which i think he was.

i think it was colitis, not colon cancer

I met him once in Columbus. He was a nice dude, but looked jacked on amphetamines or something like that. his eyes were all whacked. he didn't like the fact that I thought Flex Wheeler was the greatest bodybuilder at that time (1997). Oh well!
