X 2....Duran would knock him out in under one minute.

This  clown thinks it`s all about bodyweight....Duran grew up dirt poor... fighting with bats,bricks,lead pipes, etc. etc.,and is one of the "Four Kings" !

Our Little Lord Fauntleroy never had a hard fucking day in his privelaged life.....he`s softer than baby shit!

You mean all those years skiing as a child isn't as hard as growing up impoverished, starving in the streets of Panama?

Surely you jest...

You mean losing to Jamie Clegg doesn't prepare you to fight the most vicious boxer of all time?

And how can we forget the time his ex girlfriend tore his pec? Or car door, (whichever lie he told it's hard to keep track) certainly that bodes well for his chances against one of the single greatest fighters of all time? No?

Wheeler, Kai, Ray, Cormier, Levrone, Vince Taylor,

The questions wasn’t “can you name 6 black people”

I think he was 57 in this photo, Gary remained in to shape for an insanely long time:

Gasparri did a lot with his genetics.

I've said the exact same, I don't think anyone has gone as far as Gaspari with his genetics. Unbelievable. Not the best aesthetics, not the biggest, but the combo was great for a few years.

He was 150lbs I would take him down with ease and he would not get back up. Wouldn’t be competitive or difficult in anyway. He was a great 150lb boxer a decent 180lb wrestler goes through him like nothing. I consider myself better than decent and I was 214lbs this am

Wheeler, Kai, Ray, Cormier, Levrone, Vince Taylor,

Yes, they were successful as far as being bodybuilders go but what I meant was in terms of financial, non bodybuilding endeavors.

My bad for not being clear there.  Sorry.


***EDIT***
I am referring to bodybuilders who were successful outside of on stage competition.

The Olympia was fixed by the Weiders every year. Lots of great pros never won because of that. End of thread.

No arguments here.  While there are some years that the best man on stage really did win, there are more years where that was not the case.  To be honest, after Heath, it was like the Weiders threw their hands up and said "fuck this" because all the others were just cookie cutter versions by that point.  No one stood out or generated hype like Arnold, Lee, Dorian, Jay, etc..    I think they tried to press the reset button with Flexatron, but that fool got locked up and shit.

Hankins showing again he has never been in a boxing ring before

Duran would  have you pissing blood in 30 seconds- you have no comprehension of how hard and fast the average pro hits. Let alone legend status like Duran.

As for rag sdolling Tyson- Tyson would kit you once and you would be permanently disabled. you show yourself up as having no fight skills or knowledge with your stupidity. every fight you have had as an adult you have quit/ given up. Your word isn't worth shit here. You would get destroyed by 80-90% of the posters on here with ease

[SOMEPARTS]

Rusty Jeffers has LOADS of $$$.

[Bevo]

Rusty Jeffers has LOADS of $$$.

Sure he took a bunch of loads as well

He's already permanently disabled physically & mentally.

He has loads alright.

Ferrigno or Strydom for sure

Ralph Moeller did quite well...

Duran is a top ten p4p all time fighter.  Hindsight is 20/20 but if No Mas doesn't happen and say Duran bites down, goes 15 but loses to SRR giving a spirited effort, he's probably knocking on the door of the top 5 all time.  He was that fucking great.  Hard to argue he's not the best lightweight (135lbs) of all time.  Would have loved to have seen him and The Thin Man aka Alexis Arguello go at it at 135.

[Dave D]

Wheeler, Kai, Ray, Cormier, Levrone, Vince Taylor,

I think this is the best list. I’m not sure if Vince should have won a Mr. O but he should have won the Masters.

[AbrahamG]

My opinion is that the best bodybuilder to never win the Olympia is Shawn Ray.

Marcus Ruhl, I think has done really well for himself. When you see scenes from his house, etc.... It gives off quiet money vibes. Also he has the happy go lucky manner of a man that's living well and not bothered for cash. He's had his own supplement line for years. He also has a million+ instagram followers and more importantly great interaction with them. It's not just a bunch of bots or dead accounts. And a Youtube account with close to 500,000 subs.

Bill Pearl was another guy with quiet money. In one of his books he was just naming sponsorships and business ventures he was running, and there were dozens of them. In and out of fitness. Real estate things, board of directors appointments, lucrative publishing contracts, etc.....

Labrada was a great choice. The supplement company was huge during the 90s, top 7, if not top 5 most years. Just behind EAS sometimes.

I agree wholeheartedly my brother.
