From that pic, his waist would have gotten out of control and he'd have a gut...

Rory and Edgar and possibly Beau Matlock (did he win a Pro card), are the three best who never got a Pro card.

Possibly even Rob Lopez.

I always think of Jeff King.
What if he had been able to compete in the '84 Olympia?  Would we have seen Haney dominate for so long?

Matt was AWESOME to say the least. Had a friend that knew him quite well. Said you could see the striations in his triceps through his t-shirt. I believe it, too. Matt could've been BIG ( iregardless, respectively, of what Gangsta says ) ! BIG BIG ! But, alcohol had other plans in mind for Matt. Sad, really. :/


My favorite bb'er of ALL-TIME to never turn pro, however, is Jeff King. Now he could've been Mr. O. Or at the very least, could've really posed a problem for Haney. Just my two cents.Matt was AWESOME to say the least. Had a friend that knew him quite well. Said you could see the striations in his triceps through his t-shirt. I believe it, too.

Matt had a balanced body, struggled to get cut. Jeff did not have the balance that Matt had.

LOL at Rob Lopez as one of the best amateur who never became pro!  :D

Yep - Matt Mendenhall - best bodybuilder never to turn pro. Would have easily cracked top three or four during the Olympias in the 80's.

rory liedelmeyer was very good too although he often fucked up and became too heavy in the offseason and then lost too much muscle mass dieting while still not coming in ripped.
