You guys are missing a couple things here.
#1 He has been dealt SHIT for genetics, you cannot control what you're born with and he has done much much more with what he's been given than almost anyone here.
#2 He is competing in the MASTERS class, he's over 40 people! Look at how ronnie has suddenly gone downhill after 40, age does hit you, I can assure you he blows most 40 year olds away.
#3 At the amateur level, conditioning posing and politics are huge, his condition is always spot on he is a GREAT poser and he's been around for years, he knows how to play his cards to win. Bottom line is he will be top 5 for sure, depending on who looks like what he can take the show no doubt. GO DAVE!!!
