grinningghost! LOL! Yes Mark Spitz is still alive and he might even be an announcer for this year's summer Olympics swim competitions as he has in the past! LOL! I too had and still have a thing for him. That just cracked me up. If you had a thing for him back in the day, I would say you were a young girl or a young teen. If you were about 10 - 14 years old, he would only be approx. 10 years older than you! :tongue LOL!
My vote goes for Lyle Alzado. No one filled out a black t-shirt the way he and those biceps did. Oh I was in love with him! Too bad the use of steroids took his life. He was not only good looking and built, he had a heart of gold. Too bad really.
I had a huge crush on Mark Spitz back in '72. Had "that" poster on my wall. He was a hunk.
Back then, I also thought Don Murdoch (Hockey) was just adorable.
Now, I have to agree with Oscar de la Hoya. I don't think he should get in the ring and take a chance on messing up that pretty face!
And then, there's Javy Lopez--currently the catcher for the Baltimore Orioles. He's a hottie! Mike Piazza is very good looking too.
I would definitely vote for figure skater Peter Tcherneshev (but can't spell his name!). He and Naomi Lang made such a sexy couple! Those flowing locks of his as he zipped across the ice. Yum!
