i think kevin looked his best his rookie year back in 1992 , then got to big
You know what? I think there's something in what you're saying - coming from the UK, back then in the stone age the first time I'd get to see new American Pro's was in the mags, and I remember a) just how competitive it was each year when Pro cards were hard to come by - people trying year after year to get one, and b) just how sharp the winners were. And for some you are right, putting on the extra weight didn't necessarily make them look better (Remember how Mike Matarazzo looked when he won, for example).
On the other hand, I suppose they wouldn't know until they tried it, so... I've just contradicted myself (for a change)
Edit: also, I'm not sure this is true for Kevin either, so wtf am I actually saying here lol
