      yea he talked about it on the live stream Mr O the other night.

      it's gonna be hard for him because it sounds like he's gonna go up in weight and I'm almost positive that's a mistake. i can't imagine him looking better at his height with like 15 pounds more muscle. i think it will give him a spill over effect and his midsection will surely take a hit.

          To be honest, and I’m going to be honest here, in the shape he was in on Saturday night, he would have beaten Rhoden

            Exactly. He wouldn't even need to go up in weight....or 225 would be easy for him. He's been planning to do the open for the last 12 months at least.

              you guys clearly don't remember the lee priest days. yes he looked absolutely amazing standing by himself. but once he stood next to guys that aren't midgets he absolutely disappeared. the same applies to flex lewis. zero chance at ever winning in the open class. you guys couldn't be more wrong here.

                Nah man. They didn't call lee the giant killer for nothing. He placed higher than some of the bigger guys he stood next to on a regular basis.

                        The highest he placed at any Olympia was 6th.

                        In 1997 he placed higher than:

                        Ronnie Coleman
                        Miloš Šarčev
                        Mike Francois
                        Charles Clairmonte
                        Mike Matarazzo


                        In 2000 he placed higher than:

                        Markus Rühl
                        Jay Cutler
                        Dexter Jackson
                        Orville Burke
                        Dennis James
                        Günter Schlierkamp

                            So 6th place.

                            Flex Lewis can probably place top 5 simply because the lineup isn't as strong as it was when Lee was competing.

                            Going back to what Mr I said about Lewis being able to win the open class... NO. Lol

                              I think if someone like Dexter can win it, lewis can as well.
