he won that show IMO, destroyed Duffy and Beau Matlock who both placed ahead of him...I have no idea how they beat him, he's in good shape there and nobody was close to him in terms of size and shape.  Duffy was ripped but skinny...that is one fo the worst judging decisions I've ever seen.

DUFFY was peeled when he won,but way too tall even then ,did zero impact on pro curcuit.

These days they should award cards based on how good you look. They need better quality.

He was like so many guys in the 90's.

It's called tough competition.

There was so many big names coming up & the competition was ridiculous.

chick, do you honestly think Edgar in the shape he was in in the above video should have lost to duffy?  duffy was ripped but had zero size in his upper body, edgar was big all over, full and in good shape...no way, no how did he deserve to lose that show.

I was there...yes, he lost to a ripped to shreds Duffy. Edgar was notorious for coming in smooth, especially in the prejudging. This video is from the following night at the finals. Edgar could have won most of the shows he entered....if he was in shape.

I respect your opinion on this one cause you were there but when I see the vid of that show-I have it somewhere and look at everything, fullness, size, muscle shape, proportions...all that jazz....I don't think Duffy's conditioning should have trumped it.

oh, well...no use crying over spilt milk.

Tell me this is a joke......THIS guy beat Fletcher?  Even if his condition was 10% better....his shape is 40% WORSE than fletcher...nowhere near as thick, developed, detailed, full, flowing, aesthetic....ROBBERY!

I think conditioning is overrated nowadays.

This is a good example.. sometimes conditioning seems to make up 80% of a rating.

I prefer the look of the ironagers.. still pretty lean but not ripped to the bone... much healthier also.
