Philip Ricardo Jr., Kiyoshi Moody, Doug Miller, Martin Daniels, Brian Whitacre.

Doug Miller didn't compete in 2010.

Doug Miller didn't compete in 2010.

Oh didn't see the part about them having to have competed in 2010. Thought you were asking who are the top natties as of 2010 and even tho Miller didn't compete, when he does he'll be a top contender.

In terms of who I thought brought the most impressive overall package in 2010 regardless of placings I'd say:

1) Philip Ricardo Jr.
2) Brian Whitacre
3) Panexce Pierre
4) Tommy Jeffers
5) Valentine Ezugha

That's a good list. I would put Rico at the top of the Natural Bodybuilders in the world today also. Valentine is also very impressive, I'm looking forward to seeing him compete next year.

kiyoshi has to be numero uno he took several shows this year including Natural O. Ricardo looked good. Whitacre was shrink wrapped as usual. Francisco Montelagra(sp?) is a true contender these days too

Guys, with all respect: Would you please gtfo of this section?

ah sh*t i forgot about Freakcisco!! he's definately deserving of a top 5 spot this year imo.

as far as Kiyoshi goes I think he's kinda natural bodybuildings "elephant in the room"...his size is just MILES ahead of literally every other competitor I've seen, and his diet claims are just so extraordinary (he claims to eat an utterly insane amount of protein every day...something like 600+ grams if i'm not mistaken!) it's just hard for me to categorize him as a "natural bodybuilder" in my mind.

no love for cordova?? def top 5 worthy!

[NaturalLoco]

no love for cordova?? def top 5 worthy!

not based on performance this year; no

Riccardo #1 imo

Cant wait to see Riccardio v Miller next year.. possibly at the Yorton

Was about to say the same thing, lol... This is for IFBB talk... Not natty talk...

ya I didn't get to see too many of the comparisons from this years WNBF World's so I guess I'm just assuming his physique.

And I can't wait to see that match up either^^^

Yeah.. No offense guys but this. ^^^^

At least post pics if you're gonna post this in the wrong section.

he claims to eat over 1000g of protein per day in the offseason (srs)

btw not IFBB related

[Diskd]

can mods please move this to contest prep section since this is where most of us like to post?

Good list. Panexce looked great at the show I did, I was surprised he got 5th but everyone in that lineup looked sick. Kiyoshi's conditioning was off but he's so damn big its hard to not give him a good placing. I agree with what you said about him tho, its hard to take what he's said seriously. He eats so much and his size is so far ahead of everyone else that I'm always skeptical about what he says. The dude is a monster in person.

Yeah...threads like these are useless without pics.

[Contract Killer]

Yeah, I stopped reading after "natural". So, how did the story end?

[bwelch1985]

Ok, here are a few pics and a video of some of the guys we're talking about...

Philip Ricardo--lightweight winner IFPA Yorton Cup


Panexce Pierre--middleweight winner IFPA Yorton Cup


Francisco Monteleagre


Brian Whitacre 2 weeks out from WNBF Worlds

[Contract Killer]

k my bad, that francisco guy looks sickkkkk

[zmcdole]

If you don't think this should be in this section that's fine. You're entitled to your opinion. However, you don't have to view the thread either if you're not into natty bodybuilding. Awesome pics Bwelch.

[zmcdole]

k my bad, that francisco guy looks sickkkkk

Right?

[Rsardinia]

Francisco Monteleagre

Woah! Apparently this guy flew under my radar, never really saw any pics of him before. What's his height and contest weight? Dude's got some sick wheels and awesome conditioning.

This is kinda my thinking as well. This is really the only forum on bb.com I read, and I mainly check in for IFBB-related news, but I tend to enjoy reading the threads about natural pros (at least until they inevitably devolve into a bunch of pointless steroid accusations) and NPC-level competitors too. Could we just make this a generic pro bodybuilding forum instead so such things would be allowed? I doubt that we'd all the sudden be overrun by NPC/natural threads, honestly, things would probably be about the same as they are now, just with less people saying "GTFO."

That is absolutely unreal...
