5'2  on a good day!

I've read both 5'2" and 5'3". Funny how 5'6"-5'7" Tom doesn't look all that much taller than Danny in the above pic.

muscle builder 1979. had an article "Danny Padilla blows his own horn"  subtitle  "what else are you gonna do when you're 5'2" and your eyes aren't blue?"

It's a shame Platz didn't have big arms - he would have had an Olympia otherwise.

apart from the gyno Franco's upperbody looks great

Padilla looks the rightful winner from the pictures

1981 muscle builder article.    "Tom Platz- if i have to build the best arms in the world to win the olympia, then that's what i'll do!"   

unfortunately he tore his bicep instead.

Danny looks great in those shots, perfect in the front relaxed pose...just awsome.

Actually Tom had some of the best guns in the O, they made a HUGE improvement from the year before-with incredible peaks.

I dunno that was a close one Danny for that time deserved it but by todays standards Tom was far superior

[knny187]

I sometimes feel that Tom should have won that show.  Then I see some new pictures of Danny & feel he should have won.

With me...it can go either way.

Tom Platz was the biggest of the three with the smallest 14" arms.

his legs were just so big his upper body would have looked small no matter how big it got.
