Nasser has just passed away. Seems he's had health issues for awhile. This news is confirmed by Shawn Ray on MD. (possible kidney failure from kidney infection)

RIP Nasser.

He was one of my top go-to guys when I started bobyduilgin in the 90s.

These guys push the envelop for so long and so hard....something has to give.

I loved him a lot, I really did. He was a true gentelman to the sport.

Like a lot of guys in that era Nasser's gut got away from him chasing size.

There are still mass monsters on the scene, Kai Green is a great example. I dont think the mass trend has or will die anytime soon.

Kai is pretty impressive.Looks like fantastic density overall through the hams.Nasser....went through a few pics on the net,many I hadn't seen since they were published.Somebody should put up a photo bucket gallery.

I always thought he made a mistake trying to outsize Yates. He was indeed a little bigger but not as sharp and I think he had better symmetry. He should have concentrated on keeping his waist in check and coming in better conditioning. I think he could have beaten Dorian , with the exception of his back. No one touched Dorian on that IMO. He was one of the best from the mid 90's to 2000. RIP.
