No way, Dillet was 270 at 6'1"!

Yup. He climbed up from 240 pounds (competition) and peaked at around 290 pounds by 1999/2000. Offseason weight was 310-330 pounds.

He won the North American at around 255!

sick lineup.

[Parker]

its' that 'paying your dues' bullshit that ruins the sport.   cutler was at his best years before he won the olympia. 

If that's true, then Darrem paid his dues for a LONG time, with no complaints.

[bigbobs]

NASSER would have won that show had he competed in it.

His immediate-prior show, the 95 Olympia, he got 3rd and Kevin got 2nd since he was the new up and commer and they weren't quite ready to place him above Kevin yet.  At the 96 Olympia the judges did place Nasser ahead of Kevin though (prior to the disqualification B.S.) but it showed that by 96 the judges were willng to give Nasser the nod above Kevin - same would have happened had he competed in the 96 AC

Darrem won nine ifbb pro shows., shows he wouldn't have won had he not paid his dues.

[Parker]

Darrem won nine ifbb pro shows., shows he wouldn't have won had he not paid his dues.

yeah, but he had been a pro since 92, and the first of his 9 Pro wins came in 2002, that is 10 yrs of paying your dues. 10 yrs of getting shafted.

[Bevo]

Yes he competed in an era with kevin, Chris, dex, Shawn, lee, Nasser, Dorian, flex, Ronnie, etc... To even place is a accomplishment.

He would win all pro shows now, hell he's beaten a young Phil too

Yates would've won if he competed
