Markus could kill his 2004 showing, but back then (just 2 short years ago) he didnt have a field of competition to worry about. Look at this year alone - everyone has raised the bar. Branch, Johnny, Toney, Quincy - these guys are all dominating shows now and look fantastic. Heath is the best of the new bunch right now and there is absolutely NO way Markus could beat him. Heath has all the tools, he may not be the broadest guy onstage like Markus is but he has everything you want to see in a BBer. He is the Richard Jones with legs, the true next coming of Shawn Ray. Markus has an imposing size about him but he will get lost in the crowd IMO. His day has passed, he will always be one of the most popular guys onstage but sheer size cant win him shows anymore.
