Arnold Classic 2009 Predictions

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Here is the list what do you guys think? Name the top 3

Gustavo Badell
Moe El Moussawi
Toney Freeman
Kai Greene
Ahmad Haidar
Marcus Haley
Johnnie Jackson
Dennis James
Victor Martinez
Ronny Rockel
Silvio Samuel
Sergey Shelestov
Branch Warren

 

[Big Bapper]

Thats a very close line up.

 

[abolish the weak]

I think Freeman is going to be very hard guy to beat this year, I sure as hell dont see Mo beating him

 

[shawnkarbabacz]

I think victors the clear fave but who knows what hell look like comin off the injury. Under normal circumstances id guess

1-victor

2-kai

3-freeman or silvio

4- branch (my favorite pro as far as mentality)

after these its a toss up IMO

 

[mrsoul]

i think first callout will be- victor, toney, kai, branch. way tough to call this one though, but once they get onstage it is always a little more clear cut. until we see them ofcourse it is all just speculation.

 

[Nssca]

I'd like to see Freeman hit his stride...he has waited long enough.

 

[Mike Hunt]

when did freeman turn pro? has he been around for awhile but just now coming into the spotlight?

the guy has a fantastic build, hes tall too but fill out his frame nicely. the guy is gonna dominate in the near future.

 

[Little Bear]

From the pics I saw of Freeman on here in January I'm gonna have to with

1. Freeman
2. Branch
3. Kai

I was at the gym late last night at metro fitness and toney freeman came in for a workout. He looked carb depleted big time. That being said I'm assuming that is why he looked flatter than when i've seen him in the past. It also looks like his age is starting to catch up on him a bit cause his jaw and facial features just seemed "growthed" out. I'm sure after his carb up he will look alot better than when I saw him. But the way he looked I really dont see him winning. His height makes him look alot less wide than he really is. Samuel usually comes in at phenominal condition so my safe pick would be samuel.

 

[AWN2004]

Dennis James and Silvio are the X factors. They can easily make the top 5 and I expect one to.

If all things are equal, I would say Vic is going to have a slight edge over everyone else with Toney being second followed by Branch, Kai, and Dennis or Silvio not in that order.

I think Kai has maybe pushed the size thing a little too much. If he is distended and slightly off, he is going to get penalized big time. I've noticed that when certain criteria is really beaten to death, and then athletes fall into the category mentioned, it's the first thing they look for. It's almost not as important as everything else because the judges know the competitor has their strong points so thats not an issue. I think they look at what have they done to fix the weak points. This is only my opinion. Toney looks to have improved and everyone is going to be so critical of Vic's leg so who knows. But if I had to choose, those would be the top two in my opinion.

 

[Bigdex0591]

If I was a betting man though MY top 3 would be:

1. Victor (He's already won so he wont get overlooked)
2. Samuel (Just a little to small to win with a guy like vic their)
3. Kai (I like him but his legs look way to long and he has a short torso)

 

[WR66215]

Hopefully, Freeman can come in like he has appeared in his pics. If so, this is my prediction:

1- Freeman

2- Victor

3- Kai

I think Branch, Silvio, Gustavo, and Moe will be a toss up with 4-7

 

[GJ]

1. Kai
2. Victor
3. Tony

 

[sadie]

silvio was spot on at Ironman and Rockel was straight up robbed at ironman. assuming neither of them fucked up since then here is what i think.

top 5 IMO

Victor Martinez
Silvio Samuel
Ronny Rockel
Toney Freeman
Kai Greene

[dragonfire101]

top 5 IMO

1 Toney Freeman
2.Victor Martinez
3.Silvio Samuel
4.Kai Greene
5.Ronny Rockel

2nd - Mikhail Koklyaev
3rd - Derek Poundstone

[AN3M4L]

The X-Man looks fucking insane. He has my vote.

 

[Demonox14]

Kai Greene

I think Kai Greene is very intellectual person and represent the sport very well, odd and unique in his own ways and make him bring much publicity to the sport... he definitely shocked alot of people once again... my opinion about him very well is my own.. but if he work on more separation in is lat spread watch out Mr.o
