He has called himself the "Uncrowned Mr. Olympia". If I remember correctly, it used to be on his website. His fans have adopted that moniker for him and keep using it. And, Richards was known for being far too critical of other pro bodybuilders, particularly those at the Olympia.The gist is that certain pros got tired of Richards running his mouth, citing the fact that they never faces Richards at the national amateur level. Add to that the fact that he tends to show up in off-season mode, while other pros are just coming from contests.His going to Nigeria to turn pro doesn't help his cause, either.
