sorry for the following rant......
i cannot stand when foolish people say that paris, haney, arnold, beckles.....etc couldn't win state or national shows......people that believe this rubbish are plain nuts!!!!
Haney would still kick ass.....as would robinson.....beckles.... ..samir......etc.
Leafy is just not facing reality when he makes these assinine claims......Arnold's chest has never been equaled......Pound for pound Haney's back is still very much up there......paris' shape has only been touched by benfatto and shawn ray.....the guys today just have zero detail.....zero shape and zero appeal to the enlightened bbing fan. Only folks that like size for the sake of size......would enjoy the bbers of today.......come on......what about rory leidelmeyer......phil hill......the list goes on......bbing was at it's best back in the 80s and 90s.....IMHO
