Darrem is 41 and I think is still quite capable of winning smaller shows and that is historically where he performed the best.  He is still capable of Olympia qualification.

Gustavo is 37 and I see no reason why he would not be able to get back in top shape, but his last few showings seem to indicate otherwise.  I felt he looked his best when he worked with Milos in 2005 but also looked good in 2008.

had it all.  came up with john brown, shawn ray, and vince taylor.  top 6 guy a couple of times but always seems like he got a gift.  should have been consistent like vince and shawn.

Badell is well past it. Every year he starts saying who this time he realises where he has gone recently wrong, and promises much, but delivers little.

You're reading comics if you think that Charles can win any show these days.

Cutler, Levrone and Coleman.

Yes, but Levrone is just a plain idiot, not to mention a has-been. Look at his pathetic attemps at other *careers.*

Coleman, Cutler, and Wolf would be my top three. Well, out of the big names anyway. Badell is up there too.

Wolf a has-been?? This guy competed only twice in the Mr. O the last two years where he placed 5th and 4th, and istn't even 30 yrs old. Why the heck would anyone think it's just going downhill with that guy? ???
