May have been Katsumi Ishimura. he won the over 60 at the Masters Olympia in 2000.
Was it this guy? Outside of the Masters, his highest placing in an IFBB contest was 8th.
I don’t know if anyone can beat this guy. I mean he’s got arms growing out of his head! WOW!..and his head’s arms are bigger than my torso’s arms!
Wait…would the judges take points off if your head arms point the wrong way?
Stupid question…I’m sure they would.

Fair enough. But there’s a bit of a difference between underrated to fans and underrated within the sport/by judges.
I think Bertil Fox would be an example of both, to an extent. His criminal sentence has pretty much overshadowed what he did while competing, but while he was competing, he was dominant in Europe (3-time NABBA Mr. Universe), but never quite got the same respect by judges in the States.
Ewwww Phil Hernon? That guy is one of the dumbest people, worst business men and he’s always trying to screw people over. There is literally nothing good to be said about him, underrated for a reason. For instance his recent stint with a peptide company if anyone follows that stuff; just a total jack ass.

Whatever your personal grunt is with the man, it doesn’t apply.
I thought we were discussing PHYSIQUES here.

I think being robbed a title and being hated on for his HIT workouts at the time qualifies him for being underrated. It was bullshit with tthe stuff he put up with which eventually lead to his drug abuse and early death.
professor x…jus sayin

Very, very true. Just ask Bill Roberts.
This thread needs more Priest.
Let short people win the O.
I like Mentzer’s look and I enjoyed his articles, more for the way he wrote than for exactly what he said ( in regards to HIT) but I read some of the stories of how nutty he was in the 80s…wow. He was apparently into drinking his own wee wee and though Arthur Jones was God and that he, Mentzer was the son of God.
