yea actually he was a national level competitor during the late 90s and early 2000s when to be at that level was pretty fckin tough with all the high level competitors during those years so id say yea it does show
Have you seen his pics? Just because you competed on the national level doesn't mean anything, he still looked like shit...hell, he is no Mendenhall, Fletcher, or others that just barely missed their Pro card. Rich shouldn't have even been competing, he doesn't have the structure for it.
the late 90s to early 2000s wasn't tough, that is when the drop off in quality started happing...Only Melvin, Dennis James, Dex, and Rich Jones, and a few others...but the overall quality was bad. The early 90-mid 90s was the hardest to get one's Pro card, there talent pool was rediculious
