The AAU Mr. America was the only real Mr. America. Mike Katz and Dave Draper won the phoney IFBB version.
Frank Zane, Mike Katz, Ken Waller, Ed Corney Lou Ferrigno, Bob Birdsong, Robby Robinson, Mike Mentzer, Danny Padilla all won the “phony” Mr. America?
Man I’m glad I found out the truth. Man all these years I thought these guys were great bodybuilders and now I find out they got there by winning a “phony” contest. That’s just brutal. My life has no meaning now.
