One of the GetBiggers made an interesting comment after seeing these weigh-in photos that the quality of this year's USA contenders is far below the days of Shawn Ray and Flex Wheeler.
I sort-of-kind-of tend to agree with that statement. But I do reserve the right to change my mind after the prejudging.
But if that photo observation is correct, why is it that this year's contenders are not up to par when compared to the competitors in the Shawn era?
Drugs, lack of work ethic. I don't think it's the gene pool, because it's a lot bigger now. It was just that era of bbers had the best genes+work ethic+presentation. Ronnie, Shawn, John Sherman, Flex, Chris, Levrone, they all were the shit and would wipe the for with this line up.
