The Arnold Classic is coming up fast, with 4 weeks to go, and the question is, can Toney Freeman make the top 5. The last time I predicted Toney at the O in 9th place, I ate that prediction, as Toney destroyed that prediction with an incredible run at the O.
So here goes....
1) Victor Martinez - the man to beat.
2) Kai Green - will Kai be ready and live up to the 2nd place finish that so many are saying he will be.
3) Branch Warren - the man is hungry for a great placing, considering he had to drop out of the Olympia.
4) Silvio Samuel - He can only get better from the Ironman.
5) Toney Freeman - which Toney will we see at ther 2009 Arnold?
Dennis James and Moe El Moussawi - looking good, and wont repeat past mistakes...
-
Tony will be 3rd. Kai will win. hope this helps.
-
In that line up I would hope so. If not, suicide is always an option.
-
1) Toney Freeman
2) Kai Green
3) Victor Martinez
4) Silvio
5) Branch
No good pictures of Victor's legs = suspicious.
-
if only Toney was 5yrs younger
-
yes .....(i had him higher at the "Olympia")
-
he could easily make top 4.
-
I can see Tony Freeman make easily the top 4, would be awesome for him
-
Toney should beat Silvio and Branch at his best.
-
If Silvio Samuel beats Tony.
Its not even fun anymore.
-
Tony will win the Arnold's.

I swear to god I think of some way of ruining that bitches life if that happens again

he's going to look like dogpoo, you see :) his time is over, and thank fuck I HATE that stupid look, no aesthetic what so ever muscles slapped onto a frame.

The Arnold this year will suck ass. Who cares who wins? Used to be the Arnold winner was automatically considered the #1 threat to Mr. O.
Hell, everyone is a threat to the current Mr. O. And this year the main players, Wolf, Dex, Cutler, Heath, etc.. are out. So basically it is either Kai or Toney's show to lose.
-
Toney should be mr o in all honesty!
-
if only Toney was 5yrs younger
Toney doesnt need to be younger, he's kicking the younger guys asses. Ron, Toney made you eat your words when you said he wouldnt be top 6(? or 10) at the olympia. Will it happen again? From what ive seen hes on track for a big payday.
-
Yes he will finish 4th
-
Kai Green in 2nd place Ron?
Hmm, doubt it. I think Toney Freeman will beat him.
-
I WANNA SEE SOME REALLY BIG GUY WIN THE SHOW BIG LIKE... TONEY
-
Kai Greene has unlimited potential for muscle building
-
Somehow, I don't think Arnold will allow a guy like Kai Greene, with his sordid pornographic past, win such a prestigious title. It would make a mockery of a contest that Arnold still has his name attached to.
-
Tony should place ahead of silvio unless somthing goes wrong in his preperations.

Victor is a felon and he won.
Arnold did his share of "homoery", I'm sure he can appreciate a hard working man like Kai ;D
-
I think Tony can beat Silvio
-
silvio looks like crap next to tony
silvio got no shoulders, no width, no back thickness, no back width, huge bulging insulin gut, all legs
-
I had Tony third at last years Olympia, If Victors on it will be close, Kai is real good, but i dont think fucking a grapefruit all over the internet will help his cause.
1st Freeman
2nd Kai
3rd Martinez, legs down in size similar to leverones late leg development, and not dry enough for the guys who place ahead of him.
Both Kai and Tony have really nailed their condition in their last shows something i still believe Victor is yet to do, especially of late, but if hes in the same condition as Tony and Kai and his legs havent dropped anysize he will win.
-
Top 3, possibly win the whole thing depending on how Vic and Kai show up.
Branch will be 4th.
-
If Toney comes in like he did they Olympia, he will take it. Vic is a great bodybuilder, but I dont believe all the hype around him calling him the uncrowned Olympia etc. Toney's physique when in condition is near flawless, that pec injury is sooooo minor; at his height putting on that much size and conditioning he should be rewarded if he brings it, with the title.
I thought Phil was going to compete? I am really bummed, I figured Phil would take it, and Toney would be second. Only MD creates all this hype for Vic he is their top guy and thats why he places so high, his conditioning is never that dry. but IMO is not one of the 8 best currently active bodybuilders.
1.Toney
2.Kai
3.Dennis (only if he nails his conditioning)
4.Vic
5.Sylvio
6.Branch
-
vic needs to stop whatever he is doing to carb up.
I saw a video of him looking SUPER dry a day before an olympia
-
Victor should win; but they might not give it to him to make sure he doesn’t win the O
Victor can be a solid 2nd
To me if he won the Olympia I wouldn’t have complained
-
Why is victor the man to beat especially after screwing up his leg.
-
am i the only one who thinks kai is totaly over rated?????
-
How is Kai over rated?? What is he lacking??
-
from the front, if u watch him straight on his shape is just weird,, wide waist... just dont like it

toney before silvio and branch. You really disrespected Toney with that ranking "Ron" ::)
I dont know if you guys remember last year but i predicted the top 6 of the arnold exactly right. BOOM
I think 1, 2 and 3 are really up for grabs. Not sure if Vic is 100% post knee surgery. Kai and Toney will do battle crazy. So this year..No predictions at all. Way too close with some solid names here.
-

Yes, Kai is a fantastic BB. Perhaps the only flaw is he is a little wide in the waist but that apart superb, and his conditioning is second to none
-
I don't find the fascination with Vic. That time he put the oil in his arms he looked so blocky. I have only seen 1 or 2 photos of him where he looked good enough to impress.
-
Freeman now has vaulted into the top spots, based on rumors and predictions, according to Isaac.
However, I still have Freeman in third place.
-
Enough Ron
Toney Competed nine times last year and was very productive. You were incorrect on your selection even though you are sitting as close as I was.
You keep slating Toney as being inconsistent which is far from the Truth - Except for the Mr.O (07) when X was sick. His Conditioning and consistent placings have been incredible.
Stage competing is gaining experience. Knowing the Stage , the judges , the Crowd and your competition.
Melvin Anthony
Joel stubbs
Moe
wolfe
Dennis James
Silvio Samuels
Darreem charles
david Henry
Phil Heath
Dexter jackson
Jay Cutler
Victor has NEVER beaten Jay Cutler .. Yet X looks to all but Take him apart ..... So the Questions is - Victor recovering from surgery can out muscle , pose , and stage conditioning against two showman like Freeman and Kai ?
Points you fail to see:
1. Freeman - out posed and muscled Melvin Anthony at the O ( wasn't suppose to happen by the experts)
2. Victor - has not been worked on stage since 07 - How can you improve what you do not do ?
3. Freeman has Battled it out in 9 shows with four rounds and night shows - Improvement goes to Freeman !
4. Victors laid back stage presentations is not going to get it ....
There are your top four.
Really Ron I expect more from you ....
This is going to be a Great show - everyone will be ready and a New Champion will be Crowned

Lol !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on Adipo, I am also rooting for Toney but that Victor picture is from 2005 when Vic looked like shit

If Silvio Samuel beats Tony.
Its not even fun anymore.
Exactly,
if it happens, BBing pro contests will be 100% like Pro-wrestling.(OK,60% already...)
-
Possibly, but based on this line-up, I see Toney in 6th or maybe 5th place.

I think Toney needs a LOT more mass for height. He's too old now to get himself where he needs. IMO he needs a few years of mass building to become really impressive, and he'll be retired by then.
I was never that big a fan of Silvio. I guess the judges like that he's always conditioned, but his physique doesn't strike me as that special. I think it should be Victor then Kai, but of course Victor is still a question mark coming from the injury, and they say Kai put on too much fat.
