Darren Ball :

He can't touch this dude!



Much more streamlined look, and well balanced with no gut.

Shaun is clearly better, and would fare much better in the pro's than D.Ball (lol D bol)
peace!

Are you delusional? Daz is head and shoulders (and knees) over this hormone-abusing midget.  :P

Delusional?!?!
the only person who is delusional is anyone who follows this huge dude,
and cheers for him, while totally disregarding his flaws. sure he carries
great conditioning for his size, no doubt, but he just ain't got it.

he reminds me of Nasser-type physique, nassers later years where he faded in placings.

I could see Shaun comparing very well to Phil Heath, and Branch Warren.

Daz is gonna end up being another Federov, Shelestov, etc...big guy from Europe who
was sensational in his Amateur Career and hyped up, but just dont get it right in the pro's.

plus, you're fuckin nuts if you think the judges will ever see that gut and disregard it!...no way.
wont survive in the pro-ranks with the way he looks now.

Ah yes... If you have a big gut, they only give you a few Olympias  ::)

At the end of the day, people go to bbing shows to see big freaks, not 2-feet-tall hormone-abusers.  :P

yeah you gotta be a big freak but still put on a show and be great overall.

Markus Ruhls early years.
Ronnies first 3-4 Olympias.
Flex Wheeler
Dennis Wolf (up until now)
Kevin Levrone
Paul Dillet (just couldnt pose)
Kai Greene

***all these guys are able to be freaks, but at the same time have a complete physique, and even conditioning.
THAT is a good look.
but guys who stay huge never hold on to their best looks.
Ex: Kovacs, Ronnie, JP Fux,  etc. etc.
you cant look like that for long, and this guy, looks like his best years behind him. if he tries to come in smaller to have
a more streamlined waist, hell end up looking too thin.
and if not, his blocky physique will hurt him.

im sure im not the only one to see it this way.
