no, his back is a major weak point

lacks thickness, detail and width

phil, ramy, bonac, dexter, winklar all have better back poses

he did bring that to the stage, onstage you always look worse than your staged bathroom /bedroom shots.

Rhoden suffers from leaving the sport for 7 years. So he's been having to play catch up. And to answer your question, yes. Four years ago it was the same thing.

Agreed.  I don't think any version of Rhoden would beat Phil at his best.  Even Rhoden at his best vs. an off Phil would be questionable in terms of whether that would be a win for Rhoden.  But Rhoden's best vs. Phil's best would for sure be a win for Phil.  And I don't think Phil was as far of this year as some have said.

If Rhoden had a better back that equaled Phil's and he came in the condition of that pic, he would have beaten Phil in the eyes of the bbing public. Rhoden has a better physique. A small waist that draws the eye to it. He is a copy of the Flex Wheeler physique. What Rhoden misses from the front are full triceps. And his arms lack pop in the FDB shot. But his legs are crazy separated.

The gift of winning has already been handed to another guy. He will never win.
