Vic Richards at 17.........Biggest genetic freak ever?

[NotMrAverage]

Look at the video with SlickVic, Dorian and Dillett. He makes them look like kids. I think itīs a lame excuse saying he would look like crap dieted down, maybe he would by his own guidence but with a great coach that could help him hold on to all that mass he would be a upper tier pro. Legs are insane. But we will never know.

WHAT ACHIEVEMENTS!!!!??? 1992 Nigeria National Champion?

Kovacs may have been pummeled at the pro level, but at least he stepped on an IFBB stage to compete.

Richards didn't compete, because the thought of much smaller, but better-conditioned, bodybuilders whipping his behind onstage was too much for his ego to bear (i.e. the temper tantrum he threw, when he lost to Rich Gaspari, in a teenage bodybuilding show).

i dont think so..
vic at 17 looks better than kovacs ever did... look at the muscle shape
 kovacs is just a big framed guy who had access to a lot of drugs
in contrast vic is a genetic phenom...
genetics my friend

What makes you think that Kovacs didn't have similar potential at age 17?

From what I've read about him, Kovacs was fairly large before he started bodybuilding training.

And, while Kovacs competed on the pro stage. Richards did not. No one has seen him in contest shape. Heck, I haven't even seen any pics of that Nigerian National Championship that he won to earn his pro card.

There are a number of "genetic phenoms" who didn't do squat as pros. Conversely, there are guys who were anything but that, yet they went on to win big in the IFBB, INCLUDING the Mr. Olympia title (i.e. Frank Zane and Chris Dickerson).

   Big deal he looked better than Kovacs-so do most people.  Vic took loads of drugs just like everybody else, "genetics" my ass.

i know lots of guys who abused drugs to obscene levels and couldn't break 200 lbs. bodyweight. if he took that many drugs why didn't he break the home run record and strangle his wife and kids???

[SirTraps]

and literally every college football team in this country, including Division Two and Division Three, and most jucos has at least one-probably more guys who could blow up like a house on Anadrol.   

      It aint that amazing.

would have made a great pro. top 10 at any show if got conditioned enough.

Vics dad was a doctor, i think he might have stole the odd few prescriptions from pops, after all black people do have better genetics for building muscle but also better genetics for stealing and any other type of crime

ahahahaha, all joking aside Vic was a freak of nature...

Is that pic at only 17 years old? damn................dbol

[njflex]

very big as kid,but u could see he had thick skin early on,in the long run in terms of high level bbing it would have done him in due to the conditioning level needed to compete even then.
