Would have loved to have seen a show down between Bill and Arnold. Bill invited him to compete against him in '77 I think, and Weider told Arnold not to cause he'd loose.

Although I always liked Bill Pearl...........I think Arnold would have beat him....much better conditioning IMO.
Pearl was a tank though.

Correction. It was the 1971 NABBA Pro Mr. Universe. Pearl was 5'10" 242lb reported to be extremly ripped. Anyone find pics of this contest?

Even by todays numbers, that is a big boy. And supposedly he refused to use any of the available AAS that the others were using then. But, you might be right on the condition comparison. Maybe you can put up pic next to pic of both in '71.

Bill is a legend. Was great to see him this past September at the night of Champions. He was given a lifetime plaque. Still looks good at 73, and a very humble and sincere person.
