Silvio is always in better condition but when it comes to posing and overall package Melvin takes it hands down!

Silvio has no doubt, got the advantage when it comes to being 'ripped to shreds',..but he certainly lacks width and size when its comes to back.
Where as marvelous Melvin has got the mass, width and size that is needed.

What one has to wait and watch is whether Melvin would be able to come as a top notch contender with superior conditioning?

As far as Silvio is concerned, he can never compromise on his conditioning so no reason to argue, and he definitely needs time so increase width and size in his lats.

Another thing about Silvio is that his posing is pretty bad.
