Danny was ahead of his time at the 1981 Mr. O. For a few decades now its been widely agreed that his shockingly low 5th place finish at the '81 show was because his level of conditioning was far beyond anything anyone had ever seen. They said his face looked "sunken" and his body "depleted". Homie was ripped to the bone and hard as a diamond. When 4% bodyfat was considered ripped, Danny was probably more like 2%.
