Steve, you look so much better than David in that pic. His legs, both quads and calves, aren't even in your league. But he was the one everybody knows and the bias was with him. Hopefully now that you are in the States you will get better exposure and place more fairly.

I couldn't understand my 2008 placing...in 2009 I was sick...hopefully this year I'll make the top3...

If he'd won 1 or 2 O's, he wouldve improved image of bbing. Labrada and Ray were best ambassadors for bbing. Maybe even set a standard for judging other than sheer mass and over-developed bodyparts strewn together. Doubtful, but maybe... $:-\$

Why didn't Samir Bannout accomplish that after his 1983 Mr. Olympia win?

do you mean the judging standard bit?

I think due to never being able to duplicate 83 shape. Also some youngster from Atlanta, Lee-something... had the best and biggest physique at the time, 84-86 were his, 87, 88 Gaspari couldve done it, but difficult for a new young pro, no matter how good, to come out of nowhere and nab it from a reigning Olympia(ask Levrone). 89, 90 Labrada.
But in 84, Haney couldnt be denied.

4 pages and no mention of the Sherman Tank, John Sherman. It was said that maybe he should have won the overall at the 1992 USA's instead of Flex Wheeler.

Figo · « **Reply #89 on:** April 07, 2010, 02:29:29 AM »

Sherman was good for a while. Just goes to show how competitive NPC was those days, took Titus, De Mayo, Wheeler several times to turn pro.

Also Edgar Fletcher and Daryl Stafford. Mendenhall before them...

Lee Labrada always beat Momo in contest.

Quote from: kiwiol on April 01, 2010, 11:35:38 PM

I know - I was talking about the guys in that list.

I'd say Momo would beat Danny Padilla and Lee Labrada in the muscularity round. Lee Priest is big, but doesn't have Momo's back.

if we are talking about the great short men in bodybuilding......

we need to bring shawn ray and david dearth and dave fisher into the discussion...

no one was ever as shredded as fisher and dearth....

shawn ray and labrada had some of the best shape ever seen....

pastel was sensational as was benaziza and cottrell....

although danny and franco might be at the top of the list!

could we also mention freddy ortiz.......he was the lee priest of the 60s!

thierry pastel has some damn impressive arms for sure!!!!
