Either Danny or Platz should have won that year but definitely not Franco. Without even counting his horrendous legs the gyno, especially on his right nipple, was practically oozing milk. Danny was absolutely flawless and perfect. Platz was jaw dropping. Toss a coin.
After the Arnold fiasco in 1980 and then the absolute travesty in 1981 I stopped following the sport for over twenty years. Missed the whole Haney/Dorian era and just caught the tail end of Coleman.
I'm kind of rooting for Coleman and want to see him do something that no one else will ever do. Anybody who was able to work a full time job, had to eat in his car, walk the treadmill at midnight, do lunges under the hot Texas sun, and stick with Metroplex throughout his career, has my vote.
