to this day, nobody except De Mayo has come close. Not even Branch. The sheer mass, the cuts, shape, sweep was mind-boggling

Iwould say Branch has surpassed him, so did Kai, Mustafa and few others.

Platz's abductors where unique though.

As sheer lumps of meat, yes, some have achieved more size, but from a bbing perspective, the visual impact of the whole lower body combo he had, he's on a diff league.

Many guys, as you said Branch, Mustafa, etc have surpassed in size, but they dont make you go WOW! WTF?

, they're just guys with huge quads.

IMO...

IMO Demayo had better legs. Platz was shorter which gives his muscles a more compact look.

Kai's quads have a funny shape. Conditioning is amazing though.

you have to consider, Tom was actually trying to bring DOWN his legs to make his body proportional, everybody nowadays is trying to get them as huge as possible. So for Tom to be a good match 20+ years later while he was going for smaller legs (by only squatting once a month, or switching to hack squats, etc) to guys that squat every week to get the biggest legs on stage, I say is damn impressive.

Exactly right,and the thing to consider is the pic you posted on the previous page of Tom in the 81 Olympia is from 28 years ago,and yet still today no-one has legs as good as that.
