John Leslie in top 6 at Worlds

John Leslie made top six at the IFBB world championships. Let me give you gentleman the facts. Apart from Conrad Nagel, top six is better than what any South African athlete has ever placed at the IFBB worlds. Johnny is sincerely one of the most deserving athletes to achieve these heights. After all the criticism and bad things people had to say about him I take my hat off to the guy in his unrelentless drive to carry on achieving. No matter who says what in South Africa now, the international judges has placed him as one of the best six in the world. That's how you shut the critics up with style. I want to congratulate Johnny as a humble admirer.

Not to take anything away from him, but top 6 in the world? Isn't the Olympia a better judge of the top bodybuilders in the world?

Still though, well done to John!

How did the other south Africans do..?

Well done to John but with all due respect that def does not make him one of the best 6 in the world

But it does make him the top none pro in the country.

Well done to john.

Andrew hudson didn't make top 6 but made top 10. Chris fitzpatrick made top 15. Andrew didn't bring the package, he got beaten fair and square.(Yes I am eating humble pie about andrew not placing heighest) About lesley being top 6 in the world, I don't agree with that statement, as he didn't compete at the arnold amatures which alexi luskov won a couple weeks back and vuzi placed in the top 15, lesley placed in the top 6 of the ifbb amatures in ecudor in a line up of 12, the super heavy weight line up last year had 23 competitors in it when it was in india, not taking away from his achievement,but he is not in the top 6 super heavy weights in the world...but he did himself proud.

The saddest part of Worlds was Chris Pillay missing his line up

Also mcj,I am not trying to be a cunt(even though u gonna see me like one and this is gonna make me seem like one) but just to let u know, u forget about the other sa athletes that have placed top 6, mario van biljon placed 4th when he competed at classic worlds, ari last year placed second, shameen adams placed 3rd(one of the years he didn't get caught for doping) marius dohne placed top 6, I stand corrected that andre van der mesche also placed top 6, and I think michael adonis also placed top 6 at worlds last year, also there was our bantam weight competitor this year who also placed top 6. So its not only conrad and john that have placed top 6. Also guys like about Jason thomas, johan grove, johannes hendriks, arthur baron also placed top 6.

Also forgot to mention louis bessinger with a 3rd
