No, 21s. Nasser had 21s as well (IIRC). And Dillett's seemed bigger than that. I think Fankhouser's maybe bigger.

probably the best calf to ankle ratio. which is much more important.

i read many times his calves were 22's and his arms 23's. Off season maxes most likely. Dorians calves were monsterous, Pakulski has probably the biggest on the scene right now but Fankhouser takes this comfortably IMO.

When Mike and Cormier were on the outs, Chris stated that Matarazzo was nothing "between the armpits and knees". Apparently, these two almost came to blows several times at Gold's. Mike would have punched holes into Chris.

On another note, Mike had a head that was abnormally small. Like a fucking apple.

Mike's calves are much better than Fankhousers, due to the aforementioned calf/ankle ratio. Erik's are (were) freaky but just like two big blobs.

Did he died?

Yes, he did died.

Mr Arms and Calves, got stiffed when he had heart surgery, was begging through magazines for donations. (Joe Weider, of course, could not help him...  ::) ::) ::) )

Poor fucker got furked up but good. In his final days, his words portrayed a man very much remorseful to have gotten involved in the thong wars.

But could he have taken Pedro in a bathroom brawl?

Dude looked great, I read in flex maybe that he would consume several lbs of red meat per day, if so that can't be good for you long term.

Something tells me red meat was not the biggest factor in Mike's heart problems.

Vince is the best. Have run in to him more times than I can count over the last 20 years in S.FL. Mike Quinn is another guy I have spoken to and even trained with back in the day. He was always very cool and brutally  honest.
When I lived in Port St. Lucie,I saw Vince at a lot of contests pushing the Pinnacle products....very nice guy...........always a smile and took a lot of time with his fans.

Unlike Heath and some of the other idiots today who couldn`t hold a candle to Vince.

No humbleness from todays guys and they look like shit.

You know that Chris with his wrestling background wouldn't try and trade shots with Mike...
And Chris was right. Mike was mediocre except for arms and calves.

One of the things I regret in my competitive days never doing that show. I knew so many guys that did that show over the years. What years did you do the S.S.? Probably saw you on stage Wes.

During the the summer of 1991, I heard That Cormier was referring to Matarazzo as "Mike Maserati or whatever"

I felt that way about Eddie Moyzan. Wide huge arms could never nail his condition though.
