We will never see a time where guys that are in their early 20s are not only ready to turn pro, but to be successful. Levrone, Ray, Cormier, Flex all qualified for the O on their first attempt. The NPC is watered down now and the quality of competiton isn't as good as it was. Now you are seeing guys in their early to mid 30s turning pro

Priest was what, 19 or 20 when he turned pro?
What about Flex Lewis he turned pro pretty young. Just not seeing that anymore, and the physique sure aren't looking any better.

Well the looks that they are rewarding are for older guys.  Plus not a lot of guys WANT to be in the open class because it looks so bad.  Why do the open class when you can do men's physique and now classic physique which is healthier and looks better.

The open class has about 5 years left before it completely falls off.

Pretty sure the IFBB won't let Tony ever compete in the fed again since he joined Thompson in the NSL.

Young up and coming (no homo) bodybuilders have to "pay their dues" first :-\

It was going natural the year before which made his body more responsive in 1991

He had the cleanest Urine for the longest time according to Flex magazine in 1990

Going "natural"?  *SNICKER*  Oh, and Flex Mag would never lie about Haney's urine.  Damn.  Journalistic integrity on a par with Woodward & Bernstein.  Sheit, Haney hissef said it were all Weider Produck not stayroids what built him up.   Liar.

Weider probably soaked in Haney's pee pee.  What a maroon.
