The nickname is the record in three words. At his height he beat competitors a foot taller, taking the Mr America short class in 1976, the Mr America and Universe lightweight classes in 1977, and USA vs the World in 1978.<\/p>\n
He placed third at the 1978 Mr. Olympia and fifth in 1979 and 1981, competing in the open division against men who outweighed him by fifty pounds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\nEarly career<\/h2>\n\n
His record opens in 1972 and the last recorded contest is in 2000, though the competitive core of it runs 1975 to 1985. He was runner-up at the Universe in 1976 and at the Night of Champions in 1979.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n Championship record<\/span><\/p>\nChampionship appearances<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
Counted from the same results table below: an appearance is one contest entered (in the years the Olympia also judged weight classes, one appearance can carry two placings), an Olympia title is the overall win in that division, and Top 3 counts first, second and third together. The last row is every professional contest on record for Danny Padilla.<\/p>\n
