Is Minister Lumpsford back on top a good thing for the sport/industry?

[The_One77]

Like I thought this meatball sucked for the sport cuz he looks like a fat guy and was a jesus freak. But to be honest, Samson dauda is not much better. Cant understand a word he says and just mumbles about nonsense all the time. Like what happened to the personalities? The shawn rays, ronnie's and levrones werent exactly lighting up late-night talk shows, but at least they had some charisma. Even Phil heath had personality.

Andrew Jacked is boring, Choopan is pretty intelligent but cant hear anything, Hunter is just kinda there slurring his words, and Nick Walker looks like a fridge. End rant.

From today’s crop  closest thing to ideal BB to me would be Brandao.Has that Strydom,Demay ,Benfatto etc look.
Bob Chick discussed with Dennis Janes and Shawn Ray winner of 212 Keone Pearson  .They all agreed if he ever outgrows 212 he will collect few Sandows.

Keone will never win a Sandow, not unless he lets his gut blow out and puts another 30lb of water weight on

This, but it mostly been that way with all the top guys

Curry was boring as Mr O
Ramy retarded
Rhoden did nothing
Phil was a man child
Kai talked nonsense
Dexter did nothing
Jay was boring
Ronnie was retarded
Dorian did nothing

Former 212 guys Lunsford and Hadi made it on the top and Bonac placed close 2nd in 2019.
It is the weakest era of BB we've seen so Keone winning is not farfetched.But I do agree he won’t be nowhere near most conditioned guy to win ,but his proportions will carry him there.Just like when he beat first time Clarida.Clarida was peeled ,but Keone had structure to win.
Reminds me Wheeler ,not the most peeled guy but his proportions placed him high.

Dorian was pre social media era and that is why  we have not heard much about him.And I’m actually huge fan of him and fact he was  hiding in the Birmingham basement and not showing off luxury lifestyle in sunny CA .If social media came way earlier Ray,Cormier,Wheeler etc would be kings of insta and tiktok.

Ray for sure and probably Nasser if he was smart enough to turn on a phone or PC.

Royalty sees this about Nasser there will be about 7 pages of his pics.

Benfatto was a dwarf with a huge head

Don't mention such an anomaly in the same sentence as greats like De Mey and Strydom

True - he had a great physique - Only his head was disproportionately large
& hurt his overall look.

Sounds like Brians massive noggin, throws off the otherwise flawless lines.

Strydom's back was so weak it's hard to place him on any greats list imo. How do you judge when a third of your body is almost completely missing (same with Dillet). Much worse than a huge head, a head is not [supposed] to be judged. Somewhat subjective but Benfatto is definitely among the most aesthetic of all time imo; I like the fact that though short his legs were long. I've always harped on how unaesthetic short legs are but that's just like my opinion, man. Many of the greats had the longer leg thing going on, e.g. Dorian who I consider having an almost perfect skeleton, compare to someone like Nasser who had shorter legs and lacked the aesthetics of Dorian due to it. The pic of Benfatto in another thread in a leotard, his arms were insane, especially relative size to the rest, among the best I've seen. He had that unfortunate pec tear later on.

Edit, added. Man, sooo aesthetic, that shot is hard to improve on. Maybe the legs are a touch too small. Maybe

Did you know that "Ben fatto" is italian for "well done"?

And i have to agree with that:

Now seriously. Benfatto had the body every man would like to have, bodybuilder or not. It was flawless. Not to adress the posing skills, amazing also.

What kind of half empty cup gimmick dares to criticize this kind of excellency? Maybe he went to affeman university, where they learn that Lee Haney had a swimmer body...

For me it's hard to think of better aesthetics in a bb, you?
