Melvin's awesome, no doubt...but if he's 250 here (he's not), he'll need to be 240 by tomorrow.

Unless all the weight's in his legs (which he didn't show) he looks exactly the same. No improvements at all. His chest is still too small, his arms aren't improved and his stomach is really becoming a problem.

The meat lovin' combo known as Chick + Raw haters have less and less credibility.

And half of Melvin's talent.

Well if he looks exactly the same as he did last year thats pretty damn good, he placed top 5 at the olympia. So he should OWN this atlantic city show.

Dude they are getting worse and worse, I have respect for Bob, he's a good guy, but his predictions of late have been the shits.....Come on now, he predicted Mike Ergas to do damage at the Europa, and he didnt even get a callout.......Eryk Bui placed ahead of him...........

Shawn Ray, well he hates everyone. And everyone hates him, so thats all I have to say about that, he's a bitter fuck, so who cares what he says.

Like your recently posted thread, " Call this Number " ( something like that ) I think it would be best if I returned the favor ... call this number : 1 800 NEED FUCKING EYEGLASSES because Ray in his prime SMOKES Melvin ...

"Are ya gonna have glutes tomorrow"?

Ya know, I was reading a thread on MD last week when Dave was doing play by play and he keeps on mentioning competitors "glutes"........to me it's irrelevant wether they have ripped glutes or not, it's not a sign of great conditioning, how many times have you seen ripped "glutes" and a smooth back........whats the freaking trade off here? Do they get a higher score for ripped glutes and a smooth back...........or having a ripped back and smooth "glutes". There's a "glute" fettish in bodybuilding where the judges (and Palumbo) seem to think that this is what conditioning is all about, when are these idiots (and the judges) going to start looking at the overall picture?

Well the problem with this board Coach is that no one on getbig are true bodybuilding fans, they just liek to get on here and talk shit, no one has a clue about the history of the sport.

Makes total sense. Myself, I am a young fan, but have really "fallen in love with the sport" I LOVE whats good about it(the discipline,hardwork,and beauty of a perfect physique), but HATE whats bad about it (gh,insulin,diuretics use). But Im a true fan, so I cant turn my back on it either.

Reguarding Melvins comments on my prediction from last year..as you can see, I had him as high as 7th...two spots off from wheere he ended up.

2006 Mr. Olympia

"Melvin Anthony is in that second group as far as I'm concerned. Melvin is great; he is obviously one of the better entertainers and has the smallest waist onstage, bar none. Very nice aesthetics, but he definitely does not have the size to match up with the big boys. He will be a good contender but he will be somewhere between seventh and tenth. "

To everyone else...handicapping a show and/or a competitor is not "hating" on anyone...it's what we do as analysts, radio show host, commentator, etc...just like in any other sport.

"Raw" = wordplay. Sorry to tease your brain bro.

Ray did good 10 years ago. Melvin would've taken him at any shows.  Chick can only dream of Marvelous' track record.

Plus we like Melvin. He's a true warrior and a great person and unattracted by tranny and doesn't live in a 1br rented condo.

Translation; "His chest sticks out further than his gut, therefore he'll place somewhere between seventh and tenth".

No need to be sorry for " teasing " my Brain ... I've got a Girlfriend that does plenty of that !  ;D

I like Melvin, too, however, what does being " unattracted by tranny and doesn't live in a 1br rented condo. " have to do with anything ? Why not judge the physiques rather than the personalities and lifestyle choices ? Unless you " hang " with Melvin or Shawn then you REALLY don't know who they REALLY are or what they're REALLY like. Sorry man.  :-\

OK Iron Disciple, you must be the type of guy who sits down at his keyboard 24hrs a day thinking of "snappy comebacks" using the F-word to reply back on getbig with.

I don't sit at the Computer 24hrs a day ... primarily because I like to Work, Workout, Eat, Sleep, Shit, have Sex, etc. ( you get the point ). I'm flattered that you thought my comebacks were " snappy ". The F-Word was used only to convey my emotions at that particular moment in time. I absolutely, without a doubt, hate idiotic comments and I felt that you had made one. I see that I'm not the only one that feels that way, too.

Way to go buddy, you really got your point across, I've been put in my place and will never post again on getbig..

Chick got fucked by the judges a many times. The worst I've seen him been under judged was at the 2005 San Francisco Pro.

He looked awesome. Even better after pre judging. didn't make top 5 which didn't make any sense at all.

I stopped going to shows for a while after that.

I think the reason for that is because Melvin will never have that grainy hard veiny as a porn stars cock look.

He never has shredded glutes, but he doesnt need to, to place well.

Melvin looks awesome onstage, especially by himself. 2005 Mr.O from his posing routine i was wondering why he wasn't higher.

even with all the hype that didn't quite pan out. (the judges actually got it right for once)

on the bfto 2002 you predicted yourself top 6, and you didn't quite make that by a long shot.

I'm with you man. Troy is a humble guy, makes a respectable living, a great famailiy man, trains hard and looks amazing especially for his age. He deserves to make the top ten this year.

GrandPa' Troy, we're with you bro ;D

Well, I got news for you Mr. Pitt....Melvin is spot on with his weight. 250 2 days out, 7 lb. water drop...about 243 on stage, just about right.

Happy Easter! ;D

He does look good, but at this level, "good" isn't going to cut it...too much talent out there.

JOJ looks incredible, much harder than last week

I'm purly going by pics since I'm not there...but I would have Darrem winning, JOJ or David Henry in second, QT or Melvin 4-5th...Maybe Craig Richardson in 6th
Title: Re: Whoever doubted Melvin, be prepared to have a serving of humble pie
Post by: Stavios on September 14, 2007, 08:51:06 PM
we think alike

very close between JOJ and Darrem

Darrem is much harder and JOJ is much thicker
Title: Re: Whoever doubted Melvin, be prepared to have a serving of humble pie
Post by: flexingtonsteele on September 14, 2007, 09:01:34 PM
I think its Darrem, lil Dave Henry, then Johnny and Melvin battling for third with Craig and Quincy battling for 5/6th......

just my 2 cents

Why would you have Quincy ahead of Richardson? Just because he's more ripped? Richardson destroys him on symmetry/proportion and overall shape.

Reguarding Melvins comments on my prediction from last year..as you can see, I had him as high as 7th...two spots off from wheere he ended up.

2006 Mr. Olympia

"Melvin Anthony is in that second group as far as I'm concerned. Melvin is great; he is obviously one of the better entertainers and has the smallest waist onstage, bar none. Very nice aesthetics, but he definitely does not have the size to match up with the big boys. He will be a good contender but he will be somewhere between seventh and tenth. "

To everyone else...handicapping a show and/or a competitor is not "hating" on anyone...it's what we do as analysts, radio show host, commentator, etc...just like in any other sport.


First Call out: - Ronnie , Jay, Xman, Victor,Gusatavo
second :jonnie ,Charles , Dexter, silvio ,Dugdale - Is going to be a battle

Melvin is not the only one with shape or can pose and entertain. Todays lost is like a Michigan loss. He should pull from the O and prepare for the Arnold. If not, a disappointing placing at the Olympia may put Melvin 's career in to a tail spin.
( The guys that are in his league and want his check - dex,silvio, david, mark dugdale, ronnie rockel,dareem,craig richardson)

a loss today is acceptable since he is coming off injury- a loss at the O - could be very troublesome.

David Henry's legs are too small and smooth in the side chest pose. His hamstrings are weak  but everyone seems to overlook this fact and pay more attention to his conditioning.

hey chick looks pretty good in those pics for someone who is not competing anymore and is heavily involved in other aspects of the industry.

atleast hes not a bald fat midget like shawn ray with no muscle.

i love how this guy bitched about better judging because he didnt want to step up his game.
cant forget his claims about being natural for many years when he was younger.. little does everyone know this guy was popping dbol sice his early teens haha

his physique today does the talking for his genetics.  ::)
