one of the biggest names in bodybuilding ever a loser sure. and still talked about more than any bodybuilder from the 70's/80's other than Arnold

what have you done to make that claim about him...
He is the biggest loser in athletic or beauty pageant (whichever you consider bodybuilding) history. I know of no one on record as having such a meltdown after a loss, especially for someone in 5th place. The man literally went batshit crazy and had to be institutionalized only to reemerge later and dedicate his whole life to whining about how he was cheated decades earlier. All for what? A plastic trophy and a $1,000 check.

A) it's a bodybuilding forum and B) just refuting the nonsense spread by Mentzer nuthuggers.

No. That was Johnny Fuller.  32 sets of 32 reps!

Roy is almost 90 years old. Just the other day I saw a video of him squatting on his IG page!
