I mean: in terms of genetics: he's average. Just because his competition are sub-par doesn't mean that in terms of history - he's anything special.
Any 90's top 10 could downsize and blast him out.
Saying that he's best out of a very bad bunch is true. Saying he's best out out of a list of legends is ridiculous.
I think in another thread: levrone was compared to the skinny gits that jumped on and became monsters from nothing. Look at Levrone at 14 photograph. His structure says it all. Yes - gear responding is paramount. But clavicle lengths/joints/insertions and the like are far more important. And yes: HEIGHT. You can look great alone but being next to someone that's got inches on you: give me a fucking break.
What happened to the days where you could tell a bodybuilder by a silhouette? You could spot Ronnie, Dillet, Dorian, Flex without even looking at them from just a shadow. A distinctive physique which had its own properties/dimensions.
Can you REALLY same the same shit about Cbum?
I'd argue that our very own Hazbin had a comparable physique to Cbum in the 90's. If Hazbin was around today doing the classic: can you argue that bumstead would have destroyed him?
