I was 3 years old.  Style was just terrible back then.  Neon green clothing = very very bad.

the hype for the 93 USA's was great, you don't see that anymore.  Tons of big names in that show, just in the heavies:  Cormier, Francis, Fletcher, demayo, Titus, Castignoli, Dennis Newman...hell even Bob Chic was there.  IMO that is the best ever heavyweight line up...or at least the best I've ever seen.

How recent's that photo, Mike?

The black-n-white pics that MD printed in their mag of Chris last year [or the year before] were some of the most amazing pics I've seen.

Those pics were/are the epitome of a BB'er IMHO.

Chris rocks!

LOL...That made me feel old as hell.  i won the Teen Powerhouse Classic that year!!!  I had my T-Michael gear, Hot Skinz and baggies.  WTF???  The USA was DEEP that year.  Cormier, Caputo, Demayo, Fletcher and Francois.  Everybody came in lean too!!!

I forgot about Ken Castignoli.  He had a good physique.  You really had to wait your turn to get that pro card back then.  Think about all the guys from 1991-1996 that NEVER got that pro card.

vinny galanti was excellent that yr and if he wasn't a middle should have considered for overall,thats a tough call when a heavy is outsizing a middle,but vinny was off the charts and had arguably the most complete looking and conditioned physique that day,lights out..

He was dry, had that small waist and great shape.  Too bad 2 pro cards were not given away then.  It seemed like every guy from LA got their pro cards from 1991-1997.
