why did you post a pic of a pregnant black lady wearing a purple thong?

Kfc and watermelon thrown at said assaillants would have prevented this.

def. a freak, but seems to have thick skin - could have been an issue if he tried to compete at the higher levels.
for the most part, i think he was scared to compete and his ego couldnt handle loosing.
sure, we get the whole 'competitive issue, but if that's true, then what's with working out in singlets in venice beach?
if he really didnt give a shit, he'd be covered in sweats in a dungeon gym in england.

the guy had serious potential - i think he would've given yates a run for his money

Vic broke alot of size barriers when dorian was a mr pee wee. The first to claim a 24" arm and 34" thigh at the middle. Once a leader comes to smash limits then followers show up too.

ohh noo he di 'int

great vedio for one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time.

A leader isn't someone who talks smack about other competitors, yet has to resort to entering some podunk "national championship" to earn his pro card.
Plus, Richards was in perpetual offseason mode, often showing up at FIBO against guys who just competed at the Olympia or a post-Olympia Grand Prix show.
"Uncrowned King of Bodybuilding"? "Uncrowned Mr. Olympia"? I beg to differ.

Vic had a great physique but how he would have done as a pro will be open to speculation forever.
Would he have been a Mr O? Consistant top 5 guy? Complete wash out?
Absolutely no way to tell until he'd diet down and step on a Pro stage.
The whole "uncrowned" B.S is B.S ::)

Considering that he ran to Nigeria to win its so-called national championship speaks volumes.
Granted, he's not the first (or only guy) to do something like that (Jimmy Mentis turned pro by winning Greece's national title three times). But, at least Mentis took on the NPC's best on the national level and did fairly well.
Per an old episode of American Muscle, I thought Richards did what he did, because he was not a U.S. citizen. It turns out he is but had DUAL-CITIZENSHIP both here and in Nigeria.

lol! damn nigerians..
but seriously most nigerians are good people. its the 20 something young males who dont have a job, all of them are fucking crooks.

No way he would ever touch the Sandow. Even Kai Greene has a larger frame, better water control and has much more thickness & charisma. Ronnie would crush him in every pose with ease.
-
vic was big and had good genetics, other than the super high lats.
however, ronnie is, as with everyone, that much farther ahead:
-
A huge mofo for sure I never understood why he never competed other than in a couple of local contests.
-

because he was afraid of losing.
if you win your pro card and never compete, you never lost as a pro.
your image remains intact. your image as the supposed 'uncrowned Mr. Olympia' remains intact..

didnt vic richards used to eat 33,000 calories a day? :-X
-
Vic was big for sure, but he wasn't that huge. Standing by himself makes him look much more impressive.

In Nigeria, certain ethnic groups take pride in "outsmarting" people, aka scamming them. It's a source of pride for them. Which why many, if not all of those African or Nigerian bank email scams come from them.
As far as Vic goes, that last pic, he does seem to look to outmass Dorian. His arms, chest and back seem bigger. Yates has a wider waist. And the video of them, shows that he was bigger. But he was holding water bloat as well. Someone post the vid of him posing against Yates.
I posted the vid of him talking about his reasons of not competing. He seemed sincere, or was he merely scamming us?

too trifling to get into contest shape...

True true

In that shot Yates only has him on back and gut and Victor is not yet fully in the pose. Legs and arms Vic is blowing Yates away.

He reminds me of Greg Kovacs, probably couldn't go without eating for 45 minutes (due to so many drugs) therefore, no precontest.
Also without so much water retention, he would probably be noticably smaller

Exactly

Victor is a man who knows a thing or two about maximizing anabolic processes in the body and avoiding catabolism.
-

Nope!! Richards claim that was taken out of contest. On one occasion, he went on a eating frenzy and gobbled down some foods (mostly from his native land), that were extremely high in fat. He claimed on that one occasion, he downed about 30,000 calories.
He does NOT eat that much on a regular basis.

Find me a body builder today over 250lbs that doesn't have a distended belly from IGF-1/Slin/HGH abuse. When you push the envolope with those three drugs, shit will happen to you. Common sense.
