In Melvin Anthony's recent column in MD, the Marvelous One had a few choice words for Badell. In short, he wrote that he took offense to Gustavo's remarks on BB Radio regarding the 2006 Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic. Melvin claimed that he crossed the line from confident to cocky when Badell said that Jay wasnt doing the Arnold because he was afraid of him and that he was going to win hands down. Melvin remarked that he had been beating Badell's punk-ass for years and suddenly for Badell to think he was in a league of his own was just too far. He said that it was time for Gustavo to shut his mouth and calm down.
Personally, I couldn't stop laughing when i read this. After saying the same things (as 95% of you all have been saying along with me) for so long, it was cool to have a pro echoing our voices. I think Badell is a superb bodybuilder and has a boat-load of potential but he needs to lose the attitude. Furthermore, Melvin Anthony's physique and posing are more artistic and impressive than Badell's - he just needs to figure out how to come into a contest ripped up and full.
You're the man, Melvin! Tell it like it is!
