I don’t watch video (yet) but his back story is interesting.   People say Raymond Washington and Tookie Williams are the ones who created the Crips.  It was actually Munson.  Washington was a member of Munson gang called the Avenues.  Munson then laid an assbeating on Washington that was so bad the other members voted to kick Washington out.   Munson then allowed Washington to use the Avenue name and create his own gang called Baby Avenues which later morphed into the Crips.   Has Munson allowed Washington to remain in his gang after stomping him, history might be different. 

*edit*. Spelling on the phone while on treadmill is for shit.

Wasn't he a criminal when younger? A convict?

He claimed Arnold did not wanted to workout with him, because he was stronger. I am more inclined to believe Arnold didn't want anything to do with gangsters.

Or Arnold didn’t want to work out with someone who called their triceps the “back arms”.

Anybody can make a video documentary now of just about anybody, and make it seem like they where highly regarded, accomplished. Or better yet, compare them with greats as though they where better than the greats
I've seen a lot on Monsoon lately and all they do is say he was bigger than Arnold and Lee haney. Built like a Greek god blah blah blah.
Non of that shit matters. He never competed, never took a chance to be better than anyone at anything where it counted. Just another jacked up thug lifting weights all day that was a that would cave your head in if you glanced at him wrong.
He was no where near as good as any competitive pro bodybuilder as he never competed to win anything

A 12th place finish at a minor contest is hardly worthy of a comparison to the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger,  Lee Haney,  no?
I stand by what I said. He did very little if anything for home made video documentary folks to make such comparison

Nothing like GETBIG where guys get literal about everything. He never competed in contests anywhere the caliber of the champions they compare him too.
Its the same dogmatic non sense they do with Bruce Lee, he was fast and sparred a couple guys that said he was fast. So now everyone thinks he could beat Ali? !
Monson was a beast, had great genetics, yet Arnold was still in possession of larger muscle bellies and way more titles to be compared to. This is my point.
