Maybe his best here, impressive for a tall man
-
Massive
-
He was one of the pioneers of getting inhumanely massive.
-
Took up a lot of space, and that's really what bodybuilding is all about.
-
One of the few to break the impossible 400lbs barrier. Big dude, all the way big dude.
-
Was it ever clarified what happened to his abs later in his career?
I remember they looked really weird.
-
Crazy - looked great for his height.

Well, there were only a couple of shows the notorious pics come from. '04 Arnold he had a really nasty stomach bug, was in good condition but lost a ton of muscle. He looked better in the prejudging. Then he spilled over at the Toronto pro a few months later.
-
I remember a poster here (I think it was OTH) went to the same gym as Kovacs. He said that he would bench 400lbs like it was an empty bar.
-
One of the earliest Palumboists...
Towels of peace, too...
-
Huge without being supidly huge, powerful looking, lean without being stupidly lean and imo an aesthetic physique many can appreciate.
-
Nasser bad mouthed Kovac badly during "the jaded years". Nasser and Kovacs were friends at one point. But once Nasser's placings started going down. He turned on a lot of his friends.

I met Kovacs many years ago in Montreal. HUGE guy. He was at least 6'3" (he even looked 6'4"-6'5" tbh) and at the time around 400 pounds. Monster dude. Will never forget that.

Kovacs was not 6'3. I"m 6'3 and I was at least 2 to 3 inches taller than him. When I did business in Toronto I would meet up with my girlfriend at the time. She went to school with Greg. Claimed he had a heartattack and was a woman beater.
The first time I had any contact with Greg was at a backyard BBQ in, I think the place was called Thorold? Gregg was quiet. Everytime I met him he never spoke too much or very softly. Well, at the BBQ people were all standing in there small groups shooting the shit when all of sudden Gregg was bent over huffing and looking like he was in distress. His girlfriend was just standing there asking him if he was ok. Apparently Gregg was choking on some of the dried BBQ chicken breast and when he finally stood upright, smacked a plastic cup which has some soda in it. The cup hit some guy in the back of the leg. No one was laughing, more or less just getting uneasy that Gregg was pissed off. He stormed out with his girlfriend trying to keep up.
I met Gregg in other situations and took photos with all of us. He always...ALWAYS took photos with his right side to the camera. Why do I say this? because he was moving when others were in front of him or when he was talking and friends wanted a snapshot, he'd always say "wait, let me move to this side". I can only comment on what I was told by his classmates/friends and what my then girlfriend would say. Everytime I had an interaction with him after that he was fine. Nice guy. His arms though...were the size of my head. There were some times that when I saw him he looked great, other times he looked extremely bloated. I remember talking to him and some others while eating and he was out of breath trying to talk and chew at the same time.
Two IFBB Pro's would lodge at my house when they would come in for the contests. They would have there food confiscated at the airport so we would be preparing all the food in my Kitchen. Jim Quinn was one that I say next to having lunch with my two friends. His arms didn't come close to Kovacs...and Quinn was big.

His fake 600 lbs incline press was also believable at one point.

Marty Falcon is / was 6'6" though, so the point is moot.
Who cares though, Greg is no good to us anymore either way.
Confront me Limmerick

Looks taller than Gunter..

Sorry, but NO WAY was he only 6'0"-6'1". Sounds like you don't like him and that's biasing your comments. It's a power trip to say I towered over this guy and I promise you if you are the 6'3" you claim to be, then you didn't tower over him I'm 5'10" and met him and had to look up to him. Dude was bare minimum 6'2"...bare minimum.
1st pic: Here he is with a good 5" on 5'10" Dorian Yates in the front row.
2nd pic: Here he is with legit 5'10" Dave Palumbo
3rd pic: Here he is with about 5" on 5'10"-5'11" Nasser

Ex con gimmick?

HAHAH. Listen Boo, Someone like you with a Liberal Arts Degree from some Community College should talk. What do you do, examine posts with a fine tooth comb? Pathetic. In fact, what are you some wanna-be teacher who can't get a job so you work in some pathetic catholic school making $30 bucks a day?
People like you I'd smash in the face at the Walmart Parking lot leaving you laying in a pool of blood, piss, vomit and drool. All the while your fat, horse faced, meatball with teeth mudshark girlfriend hyperventilating like she missed a feeding.
You settle for mudsharks because that is all you can get. You probably have a lisp or some sort of problem pronouncing "R. You're Mommy and Daddy were stupid and didn't know you needed a speech pathologist at an early age. Now, you're an adult and sound like a fucking retarded moron. Fuck off, Fuck off often, Fuck off hard!

I still have this VCR tape and watch it from time to time. Greg was such a huge inspiration for me. The man was just an enormous bodybuilder and lived for it. Terrific guy as well.

Kovacs is exactly *insert your manfetish number* shmoe-inches tall which roughly translates to 7.44 Swedes in height.[1]

Could we all just stop with how tall they all are or are not? >:(

No. Someone spews bullshit that Greg was only 6'0" or 6'1" because he didn't personally like the man and I provided proof that he was taller. You don't like it? Too fucking bad.
