Phil Heath vs. Gustavo Badell

[Pain]

It's going to be these two guys fighting for the IRONMAN 2008. Who do you think has the edge to take the trophy home?

the only thing i dont like abut phil is his mid sections so i would lean more towards gus in this one now the flaming begins

 

[Beau]

Judging by the pics (heath is like 5 weeks out there? and baddel is 2 days out?) i'd have to say Heath looks thicker and just all around better. Nothing against baddel he looks great but if Heath nails condition he owns this show no problem...i see Baddel placing 2-3rd

 

[Tonka]

Does Phils chest seem thicker, i think so.

 

[Daniel Andersson]

Phil Heath..that a five weeks out pic on him. Badell 1week ?
Phils structure owns Badells also, Phil should take this easy

 

[philosopher]

Judging by these pics I would go for Phil.

 

[Maxmonzter]

I won't flame ya, but i do think you are overlooking a few of gus' flaws. His chests isn't very thick at all, and its somewhat asymmetrical. Traditionally gus has a bad waist line during comps, but he does look better this go around. But i can't see gus beating phil. Phil has one hell of a genetic structure.

phil ..away!.............beat him so far!

 

[mvsf1]

I need back shots of Phil.

Of course, form the front Phil looks the best in the world but... we have back poses...

 

[Rageking]

i like phil and would love to see him win, but i gotta go with gus on this one.

 

[aroganttravis]

Phil looks good but gustavo looks real good too. If it was based off of those pics gustavo would win because of better conditioning. we will see tomorrow!

 

[Oloz]

go phil!

 

[Bodybuilderdk]

ok what do u expect, gus is gonna be smaller since his whole aim was to bring his waist down so obviously everything is gonna come down a little in size....where as phil heath's whole goal was to increase his size, so i think theres gonna be some size diffs.

 

[patdiddy]

Well im gonna have to go with Phil but you never know......

 

[The Creator]

different light, different angle, and different times. That being said, I think phil will win but not by much at all.

I feel that we shouldn't make any kind of judgement just yet pertaining to who is goning to win until we aee the pics from the pre-judging tommorow, also with regards to Phil while he does look absolutley phenomenal we still have yet to see the final product on stage and at this level of competion who knows what will happen between now and pre-judging both men can spill over or fade out and lose thier conditioning and place low (although I highly doubt it). So until tommorow we should wait before we make a judgment call.

 

[Paulie]

Phil Heath - no doubt!

That's how he's hitting that pose; look at his hands.
