Seriously? Where?

Yeah for real. I forget where but something tells me it was on the west coast. He was peddling some fitness related stuff for awhile there too.

Sergio at his best was amazing. Can you imagine that size with that tiny waist? They always have him at 220lbs but I have an inteview where he said at his best he was 254lbs. They have him listed at 5'10" but most guys that have seen him in person said he is about 5'8". It's sad the his health is failing him. He looks so frail now.

Great pic, but how Rich ever placed 2nd-3rd in the Mr O. was beyond me.  He came in shape 95% of the time, but he had waaaay too many structure flaws and not nearly enough mass.  Rich couldn't beat Haney on his worst day.
