Could anyone turn pro? No, can alot of people with not so good genetics turn pro? Yes! Shelby Starnes (I think he's in Nationals), Dusty Hanshaw, Alex Azarian, all can turn pro. depending who decides to compete that they, if their competitors fuck up or over spill, or just don't diet hard enough they can possibly win their pro cards that night. However as popular as they are in the amateur ranks they will fad away in the pro ranks and won't get one ounce of the attention they are getting now. Tamer Elshahat, Abbas Khatami, Heinz Senior, Putnam, all have managed to turn pro. but don't even resemble a professional bodybuilder. Just because they came out the best "that night".
