Rick Perard
Who is that?
Title: You have two PROS on there, and need to add these two amateurs instead...
Post by: Soundness on December 23, 2008, 02:20:12 AM: First off, Mike Katz and Vic Richards were pro, so they shouldn't be on that list. ;)

I agree with the remainder of your list, except I'd add these two to replace the removal of the two above:

Edgar Fletcher

and Jeff King

Richard Perard (over-40 heavyweight, 7th place)
Title: Re: Amateurs who should have been Pros.....
Post by: Figo on December 23, 2008, 07:35:48 AM: I think the general consensus is Mendenhall. Way ahead of the pack.

Fletcher I cannot fathom why he was always runner-up, or lower.

Belknap was a pro, wasnt he?

Katz IMO, nothing special.

Jeff King had great neck and quads, didnt compete in IFBB, and IMO, would've been top 6 at best.

He's still wearing the little micro-trunks, I see.

Post by: njflex on December 23, 2008, 07:40:24 AM: mendenhall was probably the best of that era left behind,he was like the dennis newman of his time,structure for days,shape,not super ripped but full and cut enough.he lost to some of the top pros of that era who were amateurs at the time.that pic of rory is the worst one u could have posted he is small and soft there.
