You gotta remember Vince's first pro show was at age 33. I don't know what he was doing before that so he started late compared to others back then.

If I had to come up with weaknesses for Vince, it would be a fuller upper chest and drier condition and this is nitpicking.  Some may say bigger legs, I disagree, thats a modern trend. At one point in time he was the most "winning" IFBB Pro until Levrone or Ronnie overtook him.

Best calves I've ever seen on a brotha. In the running for best arms all to time.

I'm with you on the oversized legs, but I think Vince's are pushing skinny. Haney had smaller legs, too, but they didn't seem skinny, just a bit underdevelpoed. Which was fine.

Also think Vince's calves were kinda short (or high); though, yeah, not bad for a brother. Dillet and Heath excluded, of course.

Well said.  I think when Vince came back in 2006-2008, his legs were down a bit from his pro shows from 1989-2002.  But I think they were fine during his main run as a pro.  Not at the level of Nasser, but still very good.

This was probably the best show I ever attended - Vince smashed it but was a great atmosphere all around and the athletes looked the way Bodybuilders should. Today the sport is embarrassing and I haven't attended a show for many years

Was this the one where Lenda Murray guest posed?  (They've all blurred together in my mind)  Wow she was gorgeous in the flesh, and petite too!  V feminine

Vince Taylor was one of the best ever.

Guy always looked great with almost no glaring weak points.
Amen. Great guy too.
