Known for
1973 is one of the densest single seasons in this database: Mr East Coast, Mr Eastern USA, Mr New York State, Mr Eastern America and Mr New York City, five titles in one year.
The Mr World short class in 1972 is the biggest name on the record, and he defended the Mr East Coast in 1974 and 1975.
Early career
Nineteen contests between 1972 and 1977, with no recorded second or third places at all. He either won or finished outside the top three, which is an unusual shape for a record and probably reflects what our source data captured rather than how he competed.

Legacy
A five-title season is rare in any era. Boos had one, won a Mr World class title the year before it, and disappeared from the record four years later.
Sources
Competition placings on this page come from our own contest database and cover 1972 to 1977.
Our data holds no second or third place finishes for him at all, which is more likely a gap in the source than a complete account of his career.
Contests of this era awarded a height or weight CLASS title and then a separate OVERALL title, and several also gave a Most Muscular award. In the table below, a class win and an overall placing at the same contest are both correct and are not a contradiction, and a Most Muscular row is an award given at that contest rather than a win of it.
