Ironman Pro 2007: Opportunity knocks!

[IBey777]

Looking at this years lineup for the Ironman, it appears that there is an opportunity for the IFBB to push the line back to the era where asthetics rule. In this year's show there will be only about 4-5 truely massive guys... and even 3 of them have extremely astheticly pleasing physiques (Freeman, Deckard and Abbew). This leaves room for the giant killers (Henry, Dugdale, Haidar, and Samuel) to make some noise. It is definitely true what is said in regards to a good BIG man beating a good little man on any given day... but it should also be noted that a few of these little men are the most symmetrical and conditioned athletes in the sport carrying some of the best body parts in the sport with an untouchable back, granite like hams, and deep-balanced abs in Henry, Dugdale, and Haidar respectively. Given they nail their condition and come in full, I'd have to say we will see an upset with the victory going to a little man.

My to six predictions are:

1. Henry (1st pro win)
2. Freeman
3. Dugdale
4. Abbew
5. Samuel
6. Shelestov

luke wood might place well too

I don't think Luke will fair well in this lineup, as his lines are horrible and his physique is not symmetrical. His arms are incredibly small compared to his legs and shoulders.
