Many years ago Bob Kennedy and me were talking about Bob, and he said, and I quote, "No bodybuilder looks more impressive or huge than Bob in the gym, in the offseason, when he's wearing shorts and a tank top."
Kennedy also told me how impressive Bob's strength was the times he witnessed him training. And Kennedy wasn't one to say such a thing if a guy was some sloppy, half-rep (hi, Branch!) banana head.
Paris is a well-spoken and pleasant fella who easily had one of the best physiques of all time. There's no doubt in my mind he was held back because he's gay.
Just as well. He left with his health intact.
P.S. Someone in this thread mentions Branch. When you contemplate that mess having a few Arnold titles, it's doubly depressing to consider how Bob was essentially pushed out of he winners' circle during his pro years.
