I met Gaspari in his prime. He was the sometimes training partner with a guy I worked with. He was wearing shorts and his thighs looked like skinned dinosaur legs.
On a side note about looking bad, how many of these champs from the recent past look super unhealthy today? I think the drug life style catches up with all of them. Shawn Ray, Levrone, Coleman, Ruhl, Wheeler, Palumbo, Priest, Paris, Dillett, Cormier and so many more fell apart. I don't expect them to be walking around with their drugged out best but hell just look like an athlete. An example of what I'm talking about is Porter Cottrell. He retired and looks like an athlete.
