Victor Richards Interview by Dave Palumbo

[NarcissisticDeity]

Vic was similar to Paul Dillet in that they both had big arms, small waist, and weak back, but Paul looks much more impressive than Vic...yet Paul still never beat Nasser after his transformation from 94 to 95.  If Paul never competed and we only had solo magazine pics to go off of as we do with Vic everyone would be saying he would be Mr. O if he wanted to, however it becomes a different story when you actually put him onstage against the top few guys.

Wrong! Paul beat Nasser at the 1996 Grand Prix of Spain and you claimed Nasser said 1996 was his best year. 

[honest]

Vic hasnt earned the right to be compared to Nasser, he chose not to compete, i believe he would have been a top 10 maybe top 6 guy at the olympia at his very best, structurally he couldnt hang with the very top guys,similar in a way to Dillet with his structural flaws and he has never demonstrated that his body had the ability to get hard let alone ripped, so who knows if he couldnt dial it in and maintain his size, maybe im giving him to much credit already, everyone whos ever competed at at a top amateur level knows maintaining size whilst getting rockhard is the hardest thing to do in the sport.

Vic is a very big guy, but Nasser competed in the best era ever and beat almost everyone numerous times. His structure is one of the best ever and he carried almost as much muscle as anyone.

Vic could not match Dorian in the FIBO video from the front. Nasser beat Dorian from the front. That should be enough.

Now add Vic's back shot, and you see that Vic had a more detailed back.

As was stated before, I do believe Vic had a problem with dieting down. Since we can't say who'd win. I guess we have to say, "In pics who looks better", in terms of shape, size, I think Vic does.
I was never impressed by Nasser's shape. He looked like a big block of muscle, in which Milos had alluded to, in reference to Nasser's meltdown about the 97 Arnold.
In terms of shape and size from the 90s it would be Flex, Kev, Charles Clairmonte, Chris C, Mike Francois, Vince Taylor, Paul Dillett, even Fux, when he sucked his gut in, Ronnie Coleman, Shawn Ray, John Sherman,   Some Puerto Rican dude (forgot his name), JJ Marsh, alq Gurley, Don Long, Milos, Porter Cottrell, Ian Harrison.

Nasser structure sucked in terms of aesthetics. It was huge, and he matched Dorian from front in terms of mass. muscle shape he was average at best.

Let's put it this way Nasser was like a modded 60's era Mustang, versus a 1986 Ferrari 288 GTO (representing the listed men above). That Mustang probably will take the Ferrari on the straights, but not in the corners, and plus aesthetically, the Ferrari looks better--and the 64 1/2 Mustang got it's look from a Ferrari Show Car.

Nasser had one of the shittiest backs in IFBB history and he injected himself so full of synthol he nearly died of infection.

What a piece of dog sh*t.

You know things are bad, when you start name dropping Spain Grand Prixs....
