I don't see whats wrong with his chest other than it doesn't have a dead fitness model and Kelly sucking his nipples thinking about that im going to have my gfs sister spend the night and drink and do coke moderately with them what happens happens

Heh. Well - if they start fighting over you, just try to separate them, nothing more.  Don't kill one and set their car on fire with their body inside.  :-\

In hindsight, you had some faux-bad boys here and there in bodybuilding history, and then you had Craig Titus.  Put another way, you had people like Mike Quinn and King Kamali...then you had Bertil Fox and Craig Titus.  The two pairs cannot be compared.  I actually have Mike on Facebook and he has been nothing but a gentleman to me.  Although to be fair, I have no idea if he left behind massive coke debts to dealers over the years - given that someone told me he could put four figures [$1,000+] in coke up his nose in a single weekend, you could see how that would add up over the weeks and months pass.  So who knows?  But one thing is for sure - Mike Quinn and King Kamali never did anything like Bertil Fox and Craig Titus did - specifically, commit murder.

I recall Bertil in a photoshoot with a mainstream/Hollywood person - I think an actor - who I believe committed murder too.  This would have been over 30 years ago now.

Regarding Craig's chest - it actually looks good there.  I would have to see more photos, but I figure it was at some point maybe 2002 or later where his chest started to look really bad.  That ultimately resulted in Craig getting surgery to remove or somehow alter the skin on his chest in 2004, which I believe he posted here under a "Guest" account.  When someone stated that Craig should be deducted points for using surgery to improve his physique, I believe he asked Ron to remove the post.  Regardless, basically all posts from prior to 2006 here are gone, I believe.

Incidentally, I disagree with the reasoning that surgery in and of itself is grounds to deduct points from a competitor - it should boil down to how good or bad a competitor looks.  So if a competitor uses small amounts of synthol and their arms look better while maintaining the previous level of quality, they should not be deducted points.  Surgery, as well as things like excessive synthol, tend to make competitors look worse anyway...so it's a bit silly to make it a rule to deduct points - if they overdo it, it will resolve itself from the perspective of the judging.

I wonder if there are any posts online regarding that chest/skin surgery that Craig had.  It's funny how some websites from the internet's infancy are now offline - MuscleMayhem, IronAge...and from 2001-2002, a steroid board with open source posting called www.triedia.com.  Apparently it became http://www.usanabolics.com, and then...is now one of the many old websites turned domain purchasing and renewal websites.

It's funny how many old internet pages are gone from the pages of time...and the internet is so much more vast today, that it would be difficult to archive it or, thus resulting in many current pages undoubtedly eventually disappearing...and I swear Facebook has been deleting my posts on Bitcoin a month or months after I posted them.  ???

It brings back good memories.  On that note, I would bet that Craig had many great times being as high as he could get while having sex with one fitness babe after another...you have to wonder what it's like to be sitting in jail for what may be for the rest of his life, with only memories of all that left.

Kelly Ryan's father basically said ABSOLUTELY NOT to Craig's request to marry Kelly.  Oh Kelly...next time listen to your daddy.  :) :-\

From a crime that is quite obvious that she provoked? 10 years wasn't much. Craig will leave with 63 years old, but I'm positive he will die in there first,

10 years is a long time to lose your freedom, what is she doing for a living now?  at her age you think she's getting a lot of dates?

The times back where vastly different than now-  Craig & Kelly had unofficial Olympia After Parties - they were the first ones to do that, if I recall.

The board started by Amaf/UOU after he got banned from EliteFitness and then admin rights and domain was stolen from him by that dude that had a murder charge against him and later got arrested for child rape or something like that.

you said kelly is free, well what exactly is free about a middle aged woman that was a semi celebrity after being imprisoned?

why think about a person long gone?  she's buried and dead,  it's more interesting to think about a person after they are released from a decade of prison, what is her life now?

She was only a minor "celebrity" to a minut group of people in a niche market of an obscure so culture in a nation of Millions.

Guaranteed she goes on about her daily life for at least a week without ever being recognized

She is free indeed, but why would I care, that's the point? Kelly has options, she can work on the local Seven Eleven, can start an e-commerce, can work on a Strip Club, can bartend. Melissa just cannot. 10 years in prison for that type of crime was a piece of cake. People spend 20, 25 over less sensitive felonies. Plus, why do you think Kelly's life needs to be glamourize now??

where did i say it should be glamorized?  i just wondered what she is doing now, there is no reason to think about the victim she is dead there is no "mystery" to what she is doing now so why think about it?

i questioned you saying kelly got the "last laugh" which i thought was ridiculous, she lost her career and prime of her life and working in a 7/11 isn't my idea of a "last laugh", and isn't she too old to strip?  like i said she lost her prime years for even that

Are you familiar with the Titus/Ryan/Melissa crime? 10 years for someone that is, to me, and allegedly, clearly responsible for the crime. Why in the Hell Titus would attack an assistant at least 100 pounds lighter than him? He is in Jail, she walked away. Ok, youre right, she did 10 years, and lost her prime years, but, hey, she has a second chance, right? Titus is locked up. Melissa is dead, who had the last laugh??

Pretty much with indifference.

It's not like he brutally raped her and murdered her on his own (Kelly was involved), and Melissa had drug problems and was stealing from them, so it's also not like she was some innocent church-going preschool teacher. So inmates will likely see it for what it was; a bunch of drug people likely in the midst of speed-psychosis in a situation where shit went sideways quick and it snowballed where nobody was thinking straight..... So he'll likely get a pass.

my point has always been nobody is laughing, some would even argue being dead or in prison is better than working at 7/11 or whatever shit job she has today
