Title: Danny Padilla & the HOF
Post by: Tonyj on August 29, 2008, 12:37:20 AM
New guy here i've been browsing this forum for a while now and I must say Im impressed by the knowledge of alot of the guys here and look forward to learning from you all.

Im a huge fan of Danny Padilla he's actually the reason why I sarted lifting. In my opinion Danny should rank among the all time best BB ever.

One question I have though is why hasn't he been inducted into the HOF? I know he had that beef with the IFBB could that be the reason?

I mam surprised he's not in.

He should be inducted soon, I'd gather.

You could write a letter of petition and that may help.

I don't know who runs the HOF but his absence is consistent with the fact that he and some of the other greats were shafted by the IFBB back in the day.

He was so good that even years later he's seen here clearly dominating Yates and Momo, though of course not in the politics-driven scorecards.

91 NOC, Yates was good, Momo not as sharp as usual, gut a bit big(at 5'2" that guy really pushed the envelope, he was as wide as tall), Danny was perfection.
