You're not very bright. Not you're fault.

Rich, coming from someone like you. Tell me, what do you do for a living?

You seem angry.

Yeah, OK, says the guy who really takes it personally if anyone gives their personal opinion of a long retired 70s bber.

Not the biggest, but I think Bob Paris has one of the best upper bodies ever (if you prefer less muscle).

True. But too small and weak, not blocky enough etc

I saw Franco in the mid 70`s in person and his back in a dress shirt was freaking insane looking.

I`ve seen a ton of top guys over the years but I`ll never forget how wide and insanely thick Francos back was.

I have always said, if the '83 Nationals had gone to @rory_leidelmeyer -- and only one judging point separated us -- I would have been mad for a quick half-minute, and then completely happy for my buddy. Look, back then, we were kinda Ali and Frazier (I'll leave it to others to decide which was which), but the respect came first. That man helped me during my first year in California, when I could have very easily fallen off the planet. I believe in respect where respect is due

Arnold, "Hold my beer."

As good as Arnold upper body was, I think his chest/pecs really overpowered everything else as crazy as that sounds.

Ali and Frazier?? They despised one another. Frazier especially had a life long consuming animosity towards Ali.

Very.

When I was younger I leaned more towards Paris. Now I'd give the edge to Rory in that shot. Thicker, fuller, stronger looking. I don't know why my perspective has changed. I wonder how Rory would have faired if he kept at it and turned pro.

Paris also posted on Instagram maybe six months ago that he felt he should have beaten Lee Haney at the O. I forget which Olympia he was talking about.

LOL  ;D

He was sitting at a table judging a contest and I was behind him in the audience.
