Author Topic: Danny Padilla was the best short guy ever? (Read 18251 times)

Hello, I'm new to the site. I've been into BB since 78' and the first(and only) pro contest that I ever saw was the 88' Olympia. I started out as a Ferrigno geek because he was the Hulk and I felt sorry for him on Pumping Iron. Arnold is probably my favorite now because of what all he's been able to accomplish. I'm not a tall guy, so other than what I just said, I tend to root on the shorter ones. Padilla was cool!

You can just see how some bodybuilders have fun. Some work too hard when posing. Look at the WBF (bad example but) when Danny did his routines he genuinely looked like he was having fun.

And yes you gotta give the guy credit, still one of the best heads of hair out there...Besides big Louie

He still is humble and a nice guy. And funny as hell too!
and still has a mop of hair!

I wonder if Danny got to see Bozo......

I hope so....at least one Latino brother has....

Look at that waist. What a freak! some of his best photos are among the best bb photos ever. Imagine if he carried that same physique on a 6ft body

pumpster · « **Reply #20 on:** February 28, 2006, 04:47:32 PM »

Padilla's the best short guy because no one else can touch that symmetry coupled with size, aesthetics and taper.

He's forgotten because he didn't win and like Szkalak and Mentzer, quit immediately after realizing that being better than Columbu wasn't going to matter.

Probably should've stuck around since he could have easily beaten Dickerson.

Bennaziza(?) sure blew me away at the 88' Olympia. No one there that I talked to had ever heard of him before.

Lee has the size over Danny for sure. I like Lee a lot. Not taking anything away from him. Danny is just the most complete BB I've ever seen in person. Not a missing muscle group. Better thigh sweep. In my opinion just a more pleasing physique with better overall shape.

David Henry is still coming up but not in Danny's league just yet.

By the way Danny is a huge fan of Lee and has nothing but accolades for his physique.

If I was Lee's height, I'd take his size over Padilla's.....

He is literally the only giant killer left...
