For as much as I try to find in the most recent generation of bbers, I don't see anyone capable of reaching the level these guys reached (not talking only about victories, but about carisma, huge bodies and, why not, intensive training). probably the next generation will not be as appealing to the public as those who fulfilled the bbing history so far...

Well I don't think those you mentioned can improve bbing to a level superior than the current one...

Ronnie Rockel may never win a big show but currently he looks better than all four guys named.

About time someone else notices the talent Wolf has too.......Wolf has the ability to get huge in the next few years and he has a tiny waist-line...He is just cashing in and getting a spot at the Olympia this year with shows he has chosen to do....

there are a couple of guys that could be the future, but the competition has gone down since the 90's.

you had guys like levrone, wheeler, nasser, etc.

guys like gunter and jay finished out of the top 10.

dude Jay turned pro in 1996 at the age of 23!

By the time he was 28, he was placing second at the Olympia and winning arnold classic's.

the "sport" is always evolving. Mass for a few years. Then lines and lean guys for a few years. Look at the Zane years or the Bob Paris years.

u talking about Dinosaur Bulldog Shaun Davies? He was enormous, shame about his health probs. There was a great pic of him and Eddie Abbew at his wedding, fucking tanks together

Kovacs will return to the stage at 50 and take it all.

The post rigamortis that sets in by that time will aid him in cutting.

Yes! Me and my brother talked to him in 2003 and he was still big, but he has some health problems, and it seems to me that he wasn't being very careful... Since then I haven't got any news from him... I hope he is well...

Wolf is actually the first white guy I have seen in a long time that can play the mass game and not have his waist suffer the consequences....Wolf looks like a damn comic book character with how tiny his joints and waist is....Good things are going to come for Wolf....

Nothing. Look at the current lineup of pros. Figure is more interesting with the exception of Ron and Jay.

1. Dex - Who cares?
2. Anthony - Only did it for one, and I cant even remember that one.
3. Vic -

4. Heath - Flex hype but not the tools. Will get better down the road.
5. Others - Cant remember their names. See what I'm saying.
