couple of facts:
at his show he was 195 lbs at 6'2". i mean come on. 195 at 6'2"?
brutal skininess. i bet you're as intimidating as a sack of shit in person mike. stay at 275.
is his weight loss impressive? yes. he does look "better" than 99 percent of population, depending on what your definition of "better" is.
did he overdiet? absolutely. judging by his old pics, he should've come in about 225ish. 30 lbs of muscle was lost somewhere.
is he full of himself? yes. is he more full of himself than he should be? yes.
you people seem to forget the legendary 100 page plus ripfest on him.
did he do a show? yes. does that give him some "cred"? no.
he did place 3rd. which is nice. out of a stack of 4. in a division of 16, he'd place 12th, which is around what vince g. placed in his division.
he looks good, better than me for sure, but in bbing terms, he accomplished absolutely nothing.
but hey, at least he has a legacy and something to show for his life.
