That was obvious after the 06 olympia.
I disagree. After the 06 Olympia, he was basically Gustavo Badell. An unusually talented spic. People might expect to see him in top 6 for a few years, but nothing more.
Imagine if Badell had built on top of that accomplishment by winning the fucking Arnold. And then the only thing standing between him and the title is a one-time-only champion whose physique doesn't truly inspire anyone.
That's the position Martinez is in now.
I think he'll be "robbed" in 07. Then Cutler will decline to compete in 08 - when Martinez becomes the next Mr. Olympia.
