That's a big black dude

What's funny is that all the forum idiots were harping on about how "small" he has become. He looks pretty fucking huge to me.

thats in relation to how big he used to be, in which case it is evident he has los alot of size. But hes still a big mofo and hes the same age as ronnie coleman
-
genetic freak

A pic of Victor was posted last year where he was big, but nothing compared to what he looks like here. He may have been 220 in the other pic - may have been. In these pics he looks bigger than Ronnie did at the expo.
So he's juicing heavily again - but why?
why not? juicin's fun.

Yes he probably sees training natural is worthless.

mayb he really likes low reps

It was actually me who took these pics and we talked about an hour. Victor barely trains and he still wheighs at least 300 pounds with 21,5 inch guns,and trust me I m not exagerating he is more massive then most pros today.
He has a problem with the system and therefore he will never compete again. He does not see the sense in spending a lot of money to get ready for a competition and everybody makes money out of him and he gets nothing out of it.
But he said that he loves bodybuilding from the bottom of his heart and he will love the sport until the end of his days.
He has business companys in 6 states and owns 2 gyms so he made a good career outside of bodybuilding.

huge mofo WITH NO GUT !!
give him the sandow NOW !!!!

Oh great, another Vic Richards thread. ::)

hey m8, first tmie ive seen you posting outside of Milos' board. U seriously think Vic is 300? In last months Flex there was a virtual comparison of Vic (from 10 years ago atleast) and modern day Ronnie and Vics mass blew Ronnies away
-
Those 2 pics can t display how big this man is and my guess is that he is around 300.

Back in the day you could of fetched a good price from him :D

does anyone know how strong he was at his peak? Sure he had plenty of size to spare, but what weights did he use?

He could curl 12 Big Macs with one arm...

I'm good at digging stuff up. ;D
He looks bigger than 220 in this picture, but nothing compared to the pictures posted in this thread. I honestly think he was bigger than Ronnie at the ASC expo.

36? You're giving him compliments.. That should be at least 44!!

You guys baggin' on Vic are idiots. Show some respect. He has been training longer than most of the genetic pukes who are posting this crap..........have been alive. If you have 1/10th of 1% of a clue.......shut the f......up.

He's never in contest shape that's why he's so massive.
-
I think if he was in contest shape he'd still be big. but i do agree its easier to maintain that size if your not worrying about losing fat.

mayb he really likes low reps
hahahaha, fucking classic.

I agree. you hear all the time, even from other pro's that he was never in shape or that no one will ever know how well he could have done in the pro ranks. " Bullshit " I think most pros are lucky he never competed. I mean you dont have to be a rocket scientist to see that he would have done some serious damage. The pictures I have seen at his leanest are not too far out of contest shape and you could clearly see that if he had dieted down to contest shape what in fact he would have looked like. ( INCREDIBLE )
I think It was bob chic who tore him apart once in regards to how well Vic would have done. He would have done alott better than most of the pros we see today. Would have made Chic look like an ameture. Even In those pics, far out from contest shape he destroys bob chic. Hell, I even think hes better than Victor Martinez, and look at where he places today. Iv'e seen alott of pros in person and at my gym. ( incuding Vic richards ) and he had most of them beat.

Not better than Flex W., Vic was huge but he had that "thick skin" like John Sherman, which made it had to get peeled. I give credit whereits due, but I don't thick he would had beating Ronnie say in in 1998, or would he have beaten Flex at the 1993 Arnold. He reminds me of Paul Dillett, it would have been off the hook to see Vic versus Dillett
I do agree with vic on speading more money than you earn, but it would have been nice to see him in contest shape, and not throw a hissy fit, like he did "Jungle" Jim Beasley beat him.

Many bodybuilders look great......all by themselves. It's going toe-to-toe with other bodybuilders that separates the proverbial wheat from the chaff.
The simple fact is we have NEVER seen Victor Richards in top shape at a major show. I remember reading an article in either IronMan or MuscleMag International about Rich Gaspari. He stated that when he was coming up in the amateur ranks, he defeated Richards at a state-level show and Richards was none-too-pleased about it.
Cicherillo did lash out against Richards, but some would say that he makes a good point. Chic plowed away for years competing at the national-level, before finally hitting paydirt at the 2000 USA Championships. He's faced the best of the best in the USA. Richards, however, took the "back door", using his dual-citizenship status to achieve pro status by winning the Nigerian National Championships in 1992.
The speculation continues that Richards' ego could not bear him losing to someone much smaller than him (i.e. Labrada, Ray, Gaspari, etc.), which is why he, to this day, has never stepped foot on an IFBB pro stage. Richards' career has been sustained, because he's a enigma. People think he could have dominated the pro stage like no other before him. Were that image to be smashed, with Richards actually competing (and being defeated soundly), the mystique of Victor Richards goes away, reducing him to what some call a "gym bodybuilder".

you guys don't know what your talking about. Jeff Everson said vic had to be seen in person to appreciate his size. He was a tank.

Greg Kovacs was/is a tank, too.
The issue isn't Richards' size. It's how he compares against other professional/top-amateur bodybuilders in ACTUAL COMPETITION!!!
And, the simple fact is that Richards has NEVER gone toe-to-toe with the cream of the crop of the NPC or the IFBB.
How would Richards have fared against Lee Labrada, who made a living defeating IFBB pros much larger than himself (excluding Haney and Yates)? What about Shawn Ray?

The pics displayed on this thread about Victor Richards have one thing in common: They are all of Richards standing BY HIMSELF!!
I've yet to see any pics of him, in actual competition, against top-notched competitors. Heck, I've never seen any pics of him from the 1992 Nigerian Championships, the show he won in order to turn pro.

Well hell, if "Jeff Everson" said it, it must be absolutely 100% true. He is by far the most knowledgeable person in the history of BBing. Thanks for clearing that up.

Did you guys ever hear him talk... he is a mental midget with the brain capacity of a Sony Walkman...

I have, it wasn't pretty. Vic competed against a couple guys built like basketball players. I think one guy was wearing Spiderman Underoos instead of posing trunks. Vic has no credibility on the contest stage.

Well he at a gym in most of those pics. Could it be any other person or BB didn't want to be in the pics because they would be embarrased to stand next to him and look very small

camparing Kovaks to Richards is a horrible analogy.... Kovaks is a blob and always was. Vic looks great.
What is with you guys acting like he would lose 500 lbs of muscle if he dieted down. All those pics show him in better shape than most of the fatass pros are offseason now in days. so if he dropped 30lbs and for some horrible unforseen genetic blunder also 10 lbs of muscle he would only be like 270 lol
Im not saying vic would win the Olympia but not beat guys like Labrada o frekin please..You dont have to be a rocket scientist to see he had top tier genetics and most likley would have looked good.

His bodyweight really isn't an issue. It's how he would fare ONSTAGE, going toe-to-toe with other IFBB pros, not how good he looks all by himself (or in a gym, against a backdrop of average people).
As for your comments about Lee Labrada, let me remind you that Labrada has won multiple IFBB contests and has NEVER placed lower than 5th at the big one, the Mr. Olympia. In fact, he placed 2nd on two different occasions. Those high placing have OFTEN come at the expense of much larger bodybuilders. The only two guys he couldn't beat were the Mr. Os themselves (Lee Haney and Dorian Yates).
So, it's no stretch whatsoever to say that Lee Labrada could handily and consistently defeat Victor Richards on the pro stage.
We don't even have to go as far as the IFBB pro elite.
Here's a list of the overall champions from 1990 to 1993:
NPC National Champion:
1990 - Alq' Gurley
1991 - Kevin Levrone
1992 - John Sherman
1993 - Mike Francois
1994 - Paul "Quadzilla" DeMayo
NPC USA Champion:
1990 - Aaron Baker
1991 - Mike Matarazzo
1992 - Ken "Flex" Wheeler
1993 - Chris Cormier
1994 - Dennis Newman
IFBB North American Champion:
1990 - Jim Quinn
1991 - Ray McNeil
1992 - Paul Dillet
1993 - Dave Fisher
1994 - Jeff Poulin
Name one time where Victor Richards went head-up with any of the aforementioned bodybuilders (to say nothing of the class winners from those shows, some of whom went on to obtain IFBB pro status).
