Ed Nunn.
Libatore.
Putnam.
Centopani.
Des Miller
Curry.
Come to think of it -- - - - Where is Ben White? he guaranteed a win at the NY Pro last year, got a dismal 6th, and hasn't competed since.
Why are these rookies disappearing? Remember when guys like FLEX would turn pro and start winning shows? What's with hibernating for 2 years, or doing one show and quitting?

G4P rates are down brah... economy and all.

Centopani is doing the NY Pro last I heard, unless he's pulled out recently.

The field is so competitive these days, and you need so much size to hold your own with the judges, that a lot of guys turn pro being smaller.
When they get to the big boys, they have to put on extra size, and I guess lately most of the newbies feel that it takes two years to put on size.
Look at Trey Brewer, he bulked up extremely fast, and it only hurt him. He's a phenom to most, but a flash in the pan to me. I think his physique suffered, and will still suffer in the future due to him bulking up that fast. People were giving him props for being so heavy, but he just got fat.
The two years off, seems to be so you can save your money, buy your "supps," put weight on slowly and then hopefully still be competitive enough with the big guys if anyone else still remembers your name.

Chick just said the upcoming NY Pro would be perfect for these guys. yet they're all avoiding it.

Well the current crop of Top amateurs arent at a level where they could be competitive on a pro stage immediately after turning pro,Phil Heath being an exception,but he still forewent 2 Olympias because he didnt feel ready to do some damage at them.Evan should be a good pro,and hey even if he never wins a show he will be successful financially cos he's a goodlooking,marketable guy with a brain,just like Chick really

Calling Gene names is unacceptable behavior.

The field is so competitive? The amateur ranks are VERY weak compared to the 80s and 90s and the pros lack the freak factor of the 1990s pros. There are many guys who turn pro today who could NEVER turn pro 10 years ago. If you aren't good enough to compete as pro when you win the NPC, what's the fuckin' point? Flex, Chris, Vince, Kevin and Shawn all turned pro and went on to kick ass immediately in the IFBB.
The dudes today (generally speaking) are just WEAK when compared with the 90s crop.

This is a person who understands today's BBing scene.
-
Ed Nunn. This man has potential.
Libatore. Overrated and will never be a top pro.
Putnam. A complete sham who will never do anything in the IFBB.
Centopani. Has the genetics to be one of the top guys.
Des Miller Almost died, will not return to his former days.
Curry. Tremendous potential if he can bring his legs up.

Some good points...except it has nothing to do with them competing against TODAY'S crop of BBers....all the guys you just mentioned are retired, and dont have to compete against todays crop of guys...

True...but why?
Why are todays amateurs not as good as amateurs of old?
Is it training?
Is it drugs?
Is it nutrition?
Is it distractions faced in todays world that werent apparent in the 90's?
It really makes you wonder

not to beat a dead horse but kev,flex,cormier,taylor for example would easily fill around or place higher than heath,silvio,kai,dex,.the original 4 said and these top 4 guys now are almost all identical in some way build,shape,conditioning wise.bbing was good then and is still good ,but the quality and names then were more known than today,internet changed it all,the magazines then is all u had ,now its all ads and the internet is now for gossip and pics.either way its all good.
