IMO he would've dissappeared up against any of the top 10.

Think about it: Cedric was usually around 7th to 10th. I don't see Flex looking impressive next to Cedric... but I could be wrong.

Maybe not.. William Bonac, although small, stands up well to the big guys.. He's only packing 225-235lbs

Realistically, where would Flex have placed in the open?

Top six for sure.

How far could he have climbed within that top six?

If Flex did the 2019 Mr O and managed to show up with his 2018 look, but a bit bigger then imo he would probably have been second, possibly pushing Curry hard for the win, but he didn't so it's a moot point.



Did Choopan make a huge transformation recently?

Since 2017 when Flex beat him he added more size, better balance between upper and lower body (he was quad dominant) and his waistline/stomach control actually got better.

Remember when you said you saw Lee Labrada at the Olympia in Florida and he was "tiny". I laughed out loud.  ;D

Lee was great in his prime, don't get me wrong - and for his age, he's still one of the leanest men on the planet [or...any age, really], but I think some people have a way of idolizing some people/bodybuilders, and sometimes I think it's important someone just states the obvious. That being - Lee is not particularly big.

His height plays a factor there - it's interesting how being shorter will take away so much of the impressiveness.

Did you say you made the move to Florida, epic? If so, is it as good as they say?
