Aliamini, Vince just owned the crap outta you, lol. I brought his point up also. Sami has a very good physique, no denying that. The problem with saying "...he could have easily placed in the top 3 if he participated..." is very disrespectful to the other pros. You're saying he'd beat melvin, who granted wasn't at his best but is one of the top 5 guys in the sport (at least last yr). If Sami can be him easily, he'd be top 5 in the O easily. In that case and with his marketability, he'd make alot more than $60,000 a yr (might be wrong but I think that's what he said he made).
To me sami looks better that JOJ and Darrem Charles,, Jonnie is to thick even thicker than his frame that’s why he shows a bit blocky and unnecessarily wide
As for darrem he lacks quad size and his physique is very small and still needs more size; condition wise he is good but so is sami.
Melvin Anthony, he said bodybuilding is pose to pose so
f/double bi Melvin
f/lat spread Melvin
side chest Sami
r/double bi tie (Melvin has a better back but Sami rules in the condition and has better hams and calves)
r/lat spread tie (same as above)
ab & thigh Sami all the way
MM Sami
So I guess ya sami could have beaten Melvin if you judge it the way Melvin judges the show. No disrespect
QT &CC weren’t even close to a hard condition just cause they are elite bodybuilders doesn’t mean they are unbeatable, they didn’t come in showing the ultimate best so no they couldn’t have beaten sami.
I don’t think it was hard for sami to place top 3. maybe top 6 cause he is not famous and judges don’t know him; but to be fare and judge the show like it should have been judges he could easily made top 3 and Melvin should have been in the top 3 as well.
