With exception of his past two shows, Tony was notorious for blowing his conditioning and it was based on those assessments as to why people (including me) were critical of him and for good reason. No one ever doubted his potential, although one could argue at like 5'5-5'6 his potential is limited but his potential is tremendous. All we wanted to see was some conditioning consistency from the guy and we've had that in the past two shows so hopefully he can keep it going.

I can easily see him walking away with a class win this year and quite possibly and overall title with that kind of physique. I remember reading on this forum before nationals last year that the kid was going to get smoked get a huge eye opener came 2nd in canada same thing about the arnolds kid came 5th in the WORLD. Discredit his sucesses and blow up his failures but i think once again tony will be having alot of people take back some things they have said about him.
