Yeah Fantastic little BB Makkawy was, if memory serves right he beat Lee Haney on a few occasions in 1982-83 witch was more than likely Makkawy's prime years, he looked fantastic @ the 1983 O.

Good pics.

Did Vince always wear a lifting belt? Was it habitual for Makkawy to walk around in posing briefs on his way to gym?

I love those old 1980's studio shots! Especially with the clouds of smoke around the feet.

Mo was an earlier version of Shawn Ray in posing ability and conditioning, though both had different physiques.

He's one of the most healthy looking, sympathic, charismatic and best posing bodybuilders I've ever seen. Vince allway told he was natural. Can somebody confirm this? How is Mohammed doing these days?

He is the size that Dexter/flex would be without massive ammount of roids.
