Yeah, but what really impressed me about him was his sheer muscle development and density, which were staggering for his time. I once saw a picture from 1989 where Quinn was 270 lbs - I kid you not! - and he had that polished granite look. His pecs were immensely thick as well as his lats. The guy would have been a super freak if he competed in our GH and insulin era.

He sucked...Period. You must be talking about the other Quinn, Jim Quinn. This dude (Mike) was all talk. He was the ultimate shit talker... I remember in 1994 he was talking shit about John Sherman, John didn't deserve to place ahead of him, said John's skin was a thick as a elephant's, said John didn't even deserve his pro card (and people were saying at the 92 USA's that is was toss-up between Flex and Sherman for overall). Quinn made Kamali seem tame, Although, he would be in shape (Quinn). Now there was Jim Quinn, who was 270, and was the shit...
And let's not forget him getting his ass handed to him in a fight, or the previous fight where he tore a pec from hauling a dude off...
