Hidetada After the Finals

IMO he was the hardest and fullest of the top 5, i guess his shape is what lost him the Phoenix Pro title but I would have been happy if he won, he was in far better shape then the rest.

^^ He has an average back, short limbs and disappears in some of the compulsories. Compare him to Toney or Troy or some of the others and he is really average.

I did compare him to those guys and he stood out better to me because he was fuller, harder, and more in condition then the rest of the top 5. He does have awkward looking arms and back but other then that he was in far better shape then the rest.

Look at this picture and tell me that Hide and Melvin were better than Troy and Toney. If you can honestly say that Toney doesn't have this in the bag just with this pose you are the one that is crazy.

Then take a look at these comparisons:

Hide looks weak from the front and back, especially when you compare him to Toney.

Troy?? Are you serious? He was soft compared to a lot of the others.

I think Melvin won because he was a mix between what Hide and Toney had: A good flow to his physique and great conditioning.

^ I admit that Melvin did have great conditioning. I think Troy looked better than Hide, probably not Melvin and definitely not Toney.

Hide was still much better conditioned than Troy.
