Phil beats a 93 Flex Wheeler, he is more massive.
But I'm sure he couldn't beat a 99 Flex Wheeler yet.
And that's your reasoning? Phil looked his best when he first came on the scene at 220ish, just like Flex did. Flex at the 93 was roughly 216, and had no gut. Phil has had a gut for awhile now.
His spinal erectors are not as striated as Flex, nor does he have cross-striations in his quads like Flex.
And Flex in 97 beat a 280 pound Nasser at the 97 AC, and using Jay's back as a guide, Nasser of back then would have beaten the Jay of today---meaning Nasser could have been a 4 time Mr. O
Flex has better lines, better back detail, better legs, abs. Arms and delts=same, traps=same, Chest, advantage Phil, but Flex was better put together.
