The first three may be recent, but the fourth (the black-and-white shot) is from 1989(?).
It's tough to tell what kind of shape he is in from the first three. He looks to be anywhere from 240 through the mid-250s. He was supposed to be 276 in the fourth pic.
He's massive. He takes a lot of heat for not getting his pro card, I've heard other pro's complain about him. They get pissed over everyone calling him the 'Uncrowned Mr.Olympia'. They mention something along the lines that he doesn't have the discipline to diet down, that's why he never got his pro card.
Whatever, he's a monster.
He got his pro card in 1990(?) by winning the overall at the Nigerian Championships (Vic's father was from Nigeria).
He has never competed in a pro show.
Vic was ahead of his time in the late-80s/early 1990s, but the Dorian era sort of passed him by, and Ronnie Coleman is far far ahead of Vic these days.
Vic is also famous for his absolute bullsh!t claims concerning his weight, measurements, and daily caloric intake. Still, the guy was a monster.
