2. JOHNNIE JACKSON
3. FOUAD
4. DANIEL TOTH
5. EDDY WILSON
John Hansen
1. Branch Warren
Analysis: Although Branch's best days look to be behind him, he is looking better this year than last year and he should have enough fready mass and hardness to win this show with a second tier line-up.
2. Johnnie Jackson
Analysis: Johnnie has great thickness and if he comes in hard enough, he should be right in the running with his training partner for first place.
3. Foaud Abiad
Analysis: Foaud is working with Dennis James and he has added some good size in the off season, bringing his legs up to match his upper body. He doesn't have any stand out or freaky body parts and has never won a pro show but if he can nail his conditioning, he should make the top three in this contest.
4. Eddy Wilson
Analysis: Eddy is the dark horse in this contest and he could place even higher if he comes in much harder than the Orlando Europa. He surprised everyone in that contest with his impressive mass. He should easily make the top 5 if he comes in harder.
5. Daniel Toth
Analysis: Daniel was also impressive in the Orlando Europa and is very thick and massive. His waist is a little big but his size should still allow him to place in the top five.
6. Baito Abbaspour - Bailto has a great physique and could place even higher if he competes in the same condition as the Europe Pro that he won last year (beating Lionel Beyenke). He could easily place in the top three if the comes in harder but he usually does better in European shows than in the U.S.
7. An Nyugen - An also has a very good physique with good thickness and shape. He didn't place that high in the Orlando Europa but he has the potential to place higher if he comes in harder.
Chris Aceto
1. Branch Warren. U think that Brach will overwhelm the show. He has too much density on side shots and most muscular. That alone will get him the win.
2. Foaud Abiad Polished physique not many gaps in his body. Working w Dennis the menace gives him an edge as Dennis is on a roll
3. Johnnie Jackson. If he's lean enough he can beat Foad ( handily ) his issue is the legs. If they are deeply seperted they Re fine and his upper body kills everyone in this show including branch
4. Baito. Abbaspour - Freaky front double with 1970s vacuum. Crazy quads and mature muscularity and outrageous most muscular should put him in 4th spot
5. Eddy Wilson Great rookie if he can come in har here he will move up. I am big fan of his physique
