If Franco wasn't Arnold's pal you'd probably never have heard of him.
-
Platz looks like a wellness competitor and now looks like a dyke lesbian grandma.
Columbu wins even with salt water filled lungs.
-
Columbu now looks dead.
-
Platz looks better in that pose
Am i seeing something wrong?

Agreed
-
Platz never got the credit at contests that he got by fans of the sport.
-
Looks like a touch of gyno on Franco in that pic.

Just a touch?

Franco was an MD? I thought he was a chiropractor. Not quite the same thing.
-
Platz is winning that pose.
-
Two great warriors locked in battle

He wasn't.
Arnold gifted him his Chiropractors license when he was Governor I believe.
-
They're more even than anything in that pic, but Columbu's gyno is showing, so Platz wins.
That was the year this photo was taken -

Blocky as hell wide waist and holding water
Bigger calves, and legs.

Platz is raping him in this pose. Arnold should have sucked the milk out of Franco's right titty.
-
Both were pretty overrated with I just don’t get platz, all legs, that’s it
-
Danny was the best. He had the best physique in 1980 as well. Too bad they ignore short guys.

The Shire just doesn't have the media presence to generate enough buzz for them.
-
Just because Columbu had horrific gyno, bow legs, and the contest was fixed doesn't mean that he shouldn't have placed any higher than last, had his citizenship revoked, been deported, and put on an FBI watch list.
-
Decades ago they used to publish the scores of each judge. Nowadays they don't disclose such delicate things. Instead you have the head judge call out the first comparison and he is telling the judges who to put first, second, and third.
In the judging system they have a rule that if a judge deviates too much from the others he won't be invited back to judge. Ah, how perfect to control the sheep who enter those pageants.

Back then they used to let folks handpick their judges too.

One way to see how good Franco actually was; Cover his legs in a photo and look only at his torso. Its massive! Somehow his short legs destroys his overall impression. Anyway, 81 Franco was way behind 76 Franco.. 76 was a very deserved win! Probably only Lou or Serge could have beaten him then if they had competed. And of course Arnold, but he was all done. For 81 Danny should be the winner in a weak lineup.. No true king of bodybuilding between 76 and 84.
-
He wasn't.
Arnold gifted him his Chiropractors license when he was Governor I believe.
Governors can give out medical degrees? ???
-
franco become a chirpopracter way before arnold became gov. franco got his degree in the 1970s. The problem with alot of people nowdays they only think that the biggest freakiet bodybuilder should win. back in the day that is not what it was about. so when they see people like platz losing they think how wrong it was. he was massive and a great bodybuilder but was not in proportion or symmetrical. franco was better. period. however he was not the best that day. padilla should have won but franco was deserving too. now days they dont have symmetry proportion and cant pose etc. they all look the same. like 10 lbs of smashed assholes forced into a 5 lb container
-
Franco was great in 76 but absolute dog shit in 81. No way was he the best that day.

Yeah, but you don't carry refrigerators on your back, do you?

That was such a stupid show...There is no better measure of how strong some one is than the classic Olympic three...clean, snatch and military press.
I said "snatch"

Not necessarily disagreeing, but technique matters just as much in those lifts.
Hoisting a jay cutler does not, and is more about raw strength

Unless you're in the sport, Ol and Powerlifting are boring, hours to watch some guy do two or three lifts. And the average person doesn't really understand weights, especially back then (#400lb? My uncle Cletus who works down at the Piggly Wiggly, did that in High School before he threw his back out).
Some guy running with a full sized fridge on his back wows the eye, and is instantly understood as heavy.
Also fuck Columbu. He's the reason they didn't hold the WSM in the States for a number of years, and part of the reason why big TV left covering strength sports.
He sued everyone and got rich off of that fall, Somewhere between $1-1.5 million in early 80's bucks he made off of it.

His one leg was basically snapped in half though from the accident at the strongman event.
-
He really did wreck it something awful -

And he won the best bodybuilder in the world contest?????

Before Arnold was the governor Franco was a chiropractor. When Arnold became Governor he made Franco the head of the State Chiropractor licensing board.

Apparently it was only dislocated.

Funny coming from a meth head who was juiced to the gills.

Like 90 degrees backwards and 60 degrees sideways.

Dannies torso is too long and legs to short....Not symetrical.

Time for an eye exam, lol

Danny was a near perfectly symmetrical/proportional midget. He would however have benefited from smaller skull ala Shawn Clarida.

Bro...

No, Franco wins because of his smaller waist (sorry Tom)

I don’t even know how that pint size Clarida even won the 212’s, saw him training recently, don’t understand the appeal of his physique
-

Ha, ha, yeah, because a small waist is everything in bodybuilding. ::)

Agreed. It's called 'Labrada' syndrome

Benfatto also had a touch

You’re only looking at the legs.
It’s an ABS shot and it was 1981.

That's right, i thought he gifted him his license but i was mistaken.
I remember he was having trouble with his business and Arnold helped him out.
-
Either way, he wasn’t a medical doctor.

Seems like Arnold helped out a lot of bodybuilders.
