Kovacs always had an awkward structure, he just seemed to be wide and huge all over. I remember looking at photos of hime from some of my old Flex magazines Muscletech adds. He was a friggin' monster, but the only time he really ever competed seriously was when he got his pro card in canada and the NOC, one time at the Arnold etc. He always looked his best not in "contest" shape, he was just gigantic. That picture of him was in some of those adds BTW and those costum made 225 lb dumbells were featured in Flex as well. Even though he looks like utter hell now, he was one of the stongest, if not the strongest pro-BB out there, no question about it.
