Richard Jones ....
-
yes richard had a beautiful physique. great face too. could have done well in modelling or bbing. smart to get an education under his belt.
-
Richard Jones ....
Agreed ! That was one of the only People I could think of off the top of my Head.
-
Aaron Maddron.
-
richard was smart enough to quit competition.

Same here.

i was gonna say aaron but i wasnt sure how much of an impact he made when he turned pro in 1999. but yeah, could have done well. he brought a decent package to one of his pro shows.
-
Haha I only remember him from MuscleTech ads, but I guess that means he must have had some sort of impact.

Richard Jones ....
The guy had so much potential what a waste.
He said that he would never touch Slin or HGH still with his genetics he would be top ten at the O
Matt Mendenhall great structure anyone no why he retired.
-

Nah ... I don't think so. He probably was sickened by what he had to do ... what he had to sacrifice ( of course I'm referring to the Financial, Mental, and Physical part of Bodybuilding ) in order to Win Shows ( if not place High consistently ) for maybe, what he felt, to be an unfair amount of Money. Of course, I could be wrong. As far as I know, he went back to School in order to pursue a Degree ... you certainly can't fault the man for doing that. And for all we know, he could very well compete again in the Future. Just my Two Cents.

Competed year after year after year and never got his Pro Card. Became fed up with Bodybuilding ... lost motivation and basically gave up ... in that respect, I don't blame him one bit. Also heard he was an Alcoholic.
-
Thanks for the reply Iron
-
kovacs... I guess you can consider him one since he did compete and all..
-
King Kamali.
-
Phil Hill? One freaky dude!!
Victor Richards - Played the hype well without competing
-
ronnie coleman for 5 minutes on the tonight show
-
Vic Richards is one that always comes to mind.
Most of the "up-and-coming" MuscleTech spokesmen.
On the Strongman scene:
Chuck Fish.
Chuck Ahrens.
Mark Henry.
Most of those guys never lived up to their potential.
-
Mike Dragma?
-
Fedorov was quitew the star, then got dumped after a few poor showings :-\
-
Titus. :D
Yeh it's all fun and games until somebody burns his mistress in a jaguar in the Nevada Desert.
-
Mike Quinn
He came out of the gates real strong as a teen...then just fizzled
-
I tend to agree with Federov
-
Federov, Kovacs, Cook, Fux, Cziurlok, Albrecht.....
-
what about moslem elbasouni?
he was famous here and on mayhem for like a week.
-
Capriese Murray?
-
Federov, Kovacs, Cook, Fux, Cziurlok, Albrecht.....
No way you can consider those three in that category. Fux was a top ten Olympian and a 4th place Arnold Classic. Cziurlock also placed well at some Os. and As....and Achim was a monster, very good bodybuilder. To include these men at the same category of Kovacs and Fedorov is an insult to them and to bodybuilding. Too bad all of them 3 had gone downhill at the end of their carrers, but that doesn't equate to say they were 15 minutes famous bodybuilders.
I qualify as a 15 minute athlete Ralf Moeller and Roland Kickinger. Their carrers in bodybuilding are almost identical.....Moeller won the heavyweight class at the IFBB amateur world championships in 1987, I believe, in Spain (the same year Luiz Otavio de Freitas, from Brazil, took the overall) and competed at the '88 Olympia, where he placed dead last. Kickinger turned pro winning the 1994 Austria Nationals. Didn't do much as a pro athlete, but helped uncle Joe to sell a lot of mega mass shakes as a poster boy. Both Moeller and him didn't took too long to figure out that their future lied on movies and TV shows. They made smart moves changing carrers, much like their idol, Arnold, who they tried to emulate and end up giving a big help to them to make their first step in Hollywood.

Chachi Arcola
-
Capriese Murray?
Good choice!
-
King Kamali.
9 years or so as one of the bigger name guys is a little longer than 15 minutes ::)
E
-
Cziurloch was awesome, shredded, freaky, good waist.And had some good placings.
Just disappeared. Last I heard he was doing personal training in his homeland.
Achim was also a monster but had a big waist (not prego belly) which always hurt him.Met him in 94, really nice guy, very humble....
I think Dennis Newman was a HUGE Disappointment!!!
-
I'm not sure if I'd consider Dennis Newman a fair choice as he was struck down by illness. Now, that is an interesting question, who had the greatest potential, if illness had not gotten in the way?
I'd say Mike Francois.
-
chris cook and caprise murray, they were both hyped up to be the next best things, but look at any of the usa winners if they dont place well in there first showing we forget about them.
remember fahki murabak (i think i spelt his name wrong), he won his pro card the same time as phil heath and i havent heard about him since ???

Sorry, but they are 15 minutes famous bodybuilders. How long was Fux a thread?? Maximum 2 years, 97 and 98. After that nothing came from him anymore, all in all he maybe had 3 or 4 decent pro showings and that's it. Same for the other 2 guys... ;)

Just a few days ago someone on a german board opened a thread about him asking what he does. Guys who knew or know him said that he fell really deep. Was in jail for some time for drug distribution, had major alcohol problems and got divorced. Nowadays he looks like he had never seen a gym from the inside.... :'(
Really sad to hear stuff like that and how former champs can fall. :P

Looks like his brain was fried in the process.

Fedorov, Duvall, Kovacs to an extent. Probably a lot more.

had alot of potential. all that was lacking from memory was a small chest in proportion to his torso and arms. but other than that he was a freak and aesthetic.
first lot is from 1999 npc nats, and then prejudging at the 2004 gnc.

:O
-
has what looks to be a left biceps tear. u can see the good structure and symmetry, even though he's not in top form

Ehh, he seemed like a poor man's Jay Cutler with a lousy back to me. I would have fucked his wife.
