GASPARI en los 80s y comienzo de los 90s fue TOP 2 indiscutido, tubo la mala Suerte de encontrarse en el mismo momento con LEE HANEY que era un MONSTRUO IMBATIBLE, así quedo Segundo en varios Olympias creo que 5 veces, de lo contrario hubiera sido Campeón Absoluto!....
I wanted see this comparison with Hides best shape of 2009, 2010. Gaspari has been always my idol but Hide could beat Gaspari in case if This routine was posed with his best shape.
Rich by a landslide. Hide does have a good physique though. Rich is just bigger with better conditioning. I miss his drive and desire to be the best. He was not working with the genetics of a Lee Haney but he sure made up for it with grit, determination, hard work and effort and approaching the sport with a scientific mind. You do not see many around today that are so obsessed to be the best. He is a legend and inspiration still today.
Rich seems to have better gut control, both facing and facing away camera, though he was bigger than Hidetada. Maybe they ate less food in 1987 and relied more on less inflammatory drugs.
