I totally agree! Melvin was way behind Toney and Hide in legs and hardness.

Don't agree, tony was holding some water and legs had a bit of that water-logged look. Although he was much bigger and still looked ok. I think it was pretty close overall

One of Freeman's legs is bigger than both of Melvin's. How the heck did Melvin A. win?

I agree with all of this. Liberatore got raped. And Toney seemed better than Melvin.

oldman · « **Reply #12 on:** February 21, 2010, 05:36:06 PM »

where any of you at the show, I was. Melvin was the most complete, best back and most muscular. Toney has no MM pose, his conditioning was off. Take a look.

Thousands of pics here, including comparisons.

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/2010-phoenix-pro.htm

First of all, it was close to a lot of people. Many had Hidetada winning the contest, including Jay Cutler. Others had Melvin as the close winner, and still others thought Toney Freeman was the overall winner, lacking in some parts, holding water, but still the winner.

Debates were still raging on Sunday morning at the hotel.

Still, congratulation to Melvin for coming into this show, working hard, and earning the victory.
