Libratore out of the top 10 is madness.

Liberatore got robbed badly, could have been Top 5. Ripped to shreds and no lacking bodyparts. A lil more backthickness and that guy is a top contendor.

And how did Grigori Atoyan with structural flaws get 4th place? (no hate post).

wtf....

JJ should retire.

Toney will be 20% better at the Arnolds and is saving it up to peak then, and will probably place a couple places ahead of Mel and Hide. Back in the day guys like Flex could do a warm-up show looking significantly less than their best and still dominate. I think some of the top contenders these days think they can do the same and simply can't. They're ahead of the pack at their best but not by much and really should be focusing on coming in as good as possible at each show, which I know is hard but I think they'd fair better regardless. There is no one way ahead of anyone else these days

This is such BS....this is an excuse why a competitor doesn't place well. Much if not all a Pros income is from shows....so what you're saying is you didn't care about the Prize money regardless of how much it is?

[disturbia]

my gf is hot, i don't get with dogs, disturbia must have saw me in a pic with some chick he knows, and now is all jealous cause he thinks i banged her

no girl in her right mind who is hot goes out with a dwarf
whatever Im sure she will be with you at provincials, I will see there

and you really believe I am lying,..........she's not in any of the pics, I looked

[WillGrant]

Bullshit? Were you born yesterday? Or just new to bodybuilding? It's hard for bodybuilders to peak twice in a short period of time, let alone once, and Toney is priming for the Arnolds (bigger purse) hence why he wasn't at his best. I have little interest to who wins so it's not excuse making. I picked Melvin to win after seeing the Pre-judging pics.

And to add to that, the majority of a pro's income is from guest posing, appearances, and magazine and supplement endorsements.

[Mr Nobody]

Worst show ever.

[Meso_z]

Worst show ever.

hard to believe that this shitty, no lighting "show" took the place of the great "IRONMAN".

Too bad this wasn't a warm up for Toney. He clearly stated he was at his all time best with added muscle and better condition than the ever. So ouch, check your facts son.

And was he?    Let's just see what he looks like at the Arnolds and we'll reflect back on this conversation, kid.

[Schmoe Buster]

masters pro world 2006 was worse

[Mr Nobody]

Is that the one Chick got awarded over Rusty?

[bodybuilder1234]

how does a guy like Freeman who has superior muscle shape, structure, size/mass and height lose to a guy like Hide?
Makes no sense at all

He got ripped off.

If you look at it pound for pound Hide does have some good mass, but it was his conditioning that obviously put him above Toney

[Flexb]

Very close show though



Melvin looked a little smaller than normal though
