I don't even know what is the resemblance between rhoden and wheeler that people see
Structure. Rhodes has that same V-taper and tiny waist. Brian Buchanan, Flex, Melvin Anthony, Jojo, Rhoden, and Beyeke all have pretty much the same structure, and the same flaws---they cannot get really cut in the lower back-glute-ham tie in. Especially at heavier weights. So, one could reason that they have similar West African genetics, due to structure, and flaws. But, it was Flex that has those really round and full muscles, with Buchanan having similar---maybe if Buchanan was bigger in the Legs, he may have been competitive with Flex in a hypothetical sense.
