i have never seen any bodybuilder who could dwarf nasser el sonbaty...i think he will tame those young bucs if he nails his condition right

That top pic is sick! Fux does have the size advantage, so I think he'd do alright aslong as he gets in reasonable shape.

Is he able to walk properly, let alone train legs to the required intensity to match his previous level of development?

I know he has been planning a comeback for around 2 or 3 years now...I haven't seen any recent pics of him though...He snapped both of his knees, so I hope that he was just able to train after that....

dude that injury was 4 years ago..also when he competed at 2003 NOC he was in decent shape too..his legs were cut but size wise his legs were down..i think he can come back big and ripped

Thats not the kind of injury you just shrug off and train around, when the pattella says goodbye to the knee joint, its never a good reunion.

I dont think he'll be back, and if he does, he wont make an impact.

With all due respect, he was freaky, but never a threat to the elite of his day. And his career had stagnated at the time of the accident.

2003 NOC all the way to the right of pic

Nah, didnt fit profile.

At the most, maybe the San Fran Pro.

If he could duplicate his World Champs shape with superior conditioning, instead of trying to come in 280+lbs, then we're talking. But theres too much irreversible damage.

JaggyShortBuff · « **Reply #18 on:** November 24, 2006, 01:42:32 AM »

Yeah on his site and several others he has been saying the same thing for a few years now....

I heard Larry Scott was thinking of coming back. Him and Franco partned up and everything.

Heard they'll do the A.Classic(apparently Franco knows someone high up), and then the Masters.

Jean has been saying the same thing for a few years now go to any site about him and you will read the same thing...I haven't seen any action so far though...I really think he started getting way to blocky and is still struggling to get it under control and thats why he has been all talk and no action....
