Gustavo was such a cocky fucker at the Mr O Press Conference. I can't believed he had the nerve to call out Ronnie Coleman for a posedown and then claim he could win the O and beat Ronnie. There was really no need for such arrogance and bravado. Not even Cutler was making those claims to Coleman, and he's been second best for years now. Gus placed 24th at the 2002 O, he's only been a good bodybuilder for a very short while. If I was Coleman, I would have got on that table and flattened him out with a stunning back-double-bi.
Cocky bastard >:(
-
i would have laughed at that idiot
-
I give props to gustavo for being a real man. ;D He should take over the throne after ronnie. In MD he revealed that its not because he was cocky but because he wanted to show that he's in shape or something like that.
-
but that is what the stage if for, not the press conference
all it did was make people hate him :-\
-
maybe he meant to psyche his opponents after all he did win the challenge round ::)

and maybe he was just being a hotdog

he's not confident, Ronnie is a confident champion, but Gustavo is just super cocky, I'd love to see him place last the Arnold or something like that
-
lol M1 good one... Ronnie confident hahaha Ronnie is a child when it comes to mentality! Don't get me wrong, thats not a bad thing necessarily. Nevertheless he is a great champ in our so called sport.
-
Those pictures kinda reminds me of some medieval feast where a midget goes up on the table to entertain the king by dancing
-
M1, have you never competed at anything? Thats the heart of competition. What would have been better? To have all the athletes sit there, boring as hell and then leave? At least Gustavo added some flavour to the event...it got everyone else going at least. Something tells me if he had of challenged Ronnie to a glute comparison, you would have been right there with your zoom lens cheering them on...
-
i know what you're saying about competition, but there's a difference between confidence in yourself, and just being arrogant and cocky. Cutler, Coleman and all the champs that we like are quietly confidence, nd thats the true nature of competition and sportmanship, but Gustavo is very overt and cocky, and all he does is make people hate him for it, and when he places bad a show, people will rip on his forever and laugh and never forget it.
King Kamali is a perfect example, he hasn't performed well since 2001 and people still rip on him for his cockiness and arrogance back then, Gustavo will end up the same way if he's not careful :-\

WTF?Ronnie's not confident? Ronnie's a child when it come's to mentality ? O.k., if you say so! ::)

When arnold did it (the cockiest mother fucker of all time) no one said shit. I realize it was back in the day but we talk about everything on these boards. Arnold would say things like "being perfect is one of the hardest things to be ya know?" If ronnie came in with a belly anything more than what he did this year gustavo should have won. Thats my opinion....Ronnie jumped ranks in a years time why can't anyone else.....oh yeah thats right i forgot cuz ronnie is king and will be forever we might as well just forget about the O then its fuckin boring.
-
its called competition, wtf?! i dont think gustavo was training for second place.

Thank YOU! exactly
-
he said he wasnt being cocky he was just stateing that ronnie was the only one in his opinion that was going to give him any competition since he said he thought he was better then everyone else..... last he said he doenst compete for second place so thats why he called out ronnie like that... i dont even like gustavo im just stateing what i read in md..

Gustavo was such a cocky fucker at the Mr O Press Conference. I can't believed he had the nerve to call out Ronnie Coleman for a posedown and then claim he could win the O and beat Ronnie! Not even Cutler was making those claims to Coleman, and he's achieved twice as much in as Gustavo ever will. And this is coming from a cocky fool whose only been competing afew years, and came in at 24th at the 2002 Mr O, what a joker, he had no right to challenge the champion. If I was Coleman, I would have got on that table and knocked him out cold.
Cocky bastard >:(
Say what yoy want,,,,,but,,,,he did beat Ronnie,,,not at the conference,,but,, at the challenge round !??????
-
Well, the Press Conference challenge thing made for a (slightly) more colorful show as a whole and, as somebody already said, (I know nobody told the judges this), but it is supposed to be a competition, isn't it? So why shouldn't he challenge Ronnie?

I agree.

Arnold was cocky and arrogant but in a likeable way--- Gustavo was just cocky in a dickhead way, arnold would not have stripped he would have made very sure that every one new he was the one to bet, then if challenged he would have told them to wait and they will see, thus giving them something to think about all night before the show !!

Arnold would have had the crowd chanting 'Gustavo', mocking him.

Yeah but who wants a Puerto Rician with a sandow?

I have spoken to photographers and they all agree Gustavo is the most arrogant moaning son of a bitch to shoot, they dread getting the job when Gustavo is involved !!!
-
if thats true thats too bad but somehow i can't believe that, where did you read that.
-
I know Gustavo reallly well he trains at my gym.We talk all the time, he is a really nice down to earth guy.Cocky he is not, hungry is what he is.Gustavo is very humble, and will talk to anybody, he is polite and courteous to everybody.Gustavo told me last week, I am hungry, I want to be the best, alot of people doubt me but I placed 3rd in the O to years in a row.I am going to win because winning is in my blood, I am hungrier then these guys, I want it more then them.Every year I am going to get better and better you watch.
-
Didn't read it , non of the photographers would put that in print , I spoke to them , read the post properly
-
well then im not going to take your word for it. SORRY.
-
I remember reading an article about how Sergio challenged Arnold to a posedown and Arnold declined. Smart move! Franco went up though and got annihilated on stage! ;D
-
Not even Cutler was making those claims to Coleman, and he's achieved twice as much in as Gustavo ever will.
it's because Jay was busy laughing at Gustavo
-
Gustavo has mastered the art of sucking in the GH gut.
Gustavo talking about his physique: "100% natural, hard work ..that's all"
- what a douchebag.
-
yes hes mastered the art. there is an art to suckin in your gh gut now. If thats the case he did a good job and he has mastered this secret "art". mastered the art-dumbass.
-
Gustavo is the most overrated bb of all-time. I think his physique sucks compared with the top pros of this era. He should NEVER beat Dex for example. how the hell did he beat him at the 2004 O?
-
Gustavo will be on Pro Bodybuilding Weekly next Monday - we'll hear what he has to say on his attitude and other items.
LIFT
-
well then im not going to take your word for it. SORRY.
Ok dont then --- no ones forceing you to , but its true dude !!!
I was in Golds Vegas 2 days after the Olympia , me and Lee went in for a workout, and Darrem,Dave Henery,Branch and Johnny and Gustavo where all in there doing photo shots for various publications.
During photo shoots there is alot of down time as they adjust lighting etc, during this down time me,lee,darrem,dave,branch and johnny discussed the olympia and various topics and generaly did the mutual admiration thing !!! ----- the only guy who never said one word to any of us was, well you gussed it Gustavo !!!
Maybe he was to focused on his photo shoot to give any one the light of day, now thats dedication , or arogance !!
You decide !!!
-
Yes, but he atleast beat cutler.
-
Oh I have no problems with his physique, I have stated a few times on this board that I thought with more comparisons at the O he could have possibly taking Jay , I mean look what happened in the challenge round (even though it was a bit of a joke )
but we are talking about his attitude and what I have wittnessed first hand is the observations I am relaying !!!
-
I Hope when the radio show airs I won't hear this self proclaimed "natural" say he's hungry cause we're full of hearing it
-
i hope he expresses some encouragemnt to the spanish speaking listener
-
yea i agree hez hungry.. but he aint in coleman's category.. coleman got him beaten flat... i still dont agree wit the challange round.. only pose tht gustavo could take over ronnie is for the side triceps... thts was the only pose.. other than that.. gustavo is nothin compare to coleman...
-
well ok i guess i can see you seeing it as arrogance, but just because he didn't say anything doesn't mean he was being arrogant...there is many reasons why didn't talk...and not wanting to is a perfectly legit reason.
-
The thing that nobody talks about the challenge round is that there were different judges! Some freaking change from the SAME judges that made Haney Mr. O. Not that I don't think the Judges are doing a fine job given the rules they are, but look, different judges, poof, coleman loses
-
i didn't know ther was ddifferent judges!
-
i didn't know ther was ddifferent judges!
yea they had the past Olympia winners judging, really I thought it was great idea, but very poorly managed. They had a lot of trouble getting the votes in for some reason. You had guys like Dorian who probably chose Ronnie due to the mass, but then guys like Zane would probably went with Gutsavo for the more aesthetic look (well, aesethic as you can get between coleman and gustave lol)
-
haha who else was a judge?
-
haha who else was a judge?
I believe they also had Oliva and Haney.
-
Wow cool i like that idea.
-
Yes, but he atleast beat cutler.
Cutler will still own Gustavo..
-
i donno alot can happen.
-
Gustavo has a right to be "cocky".
If you were him you would be too......
He's on the rise, whereas most of these guys are plateauing (Cutler, Ronnie).
Ronnie doesn't have many years left, whether he wants to believe that or not.
They will probably politely ask him to retire, failing that he will be beaten......
I see Badell or Martinez as the frontrunners right now....
Cutler might win one Sandow, the one right after Ronnie retires.........as a charity win before he retires too.....
Politics do make things go round and if you don't believe that, look back at Arnold in '80 and Ronnie in '01.

lol yeah great idea
but the corrupt judges hated it so the idea's gone
corrupt judging will ruin everything
and keep these events less popular than the westminster dog show
