Eric Pedersen


I have a year, 1948, but no photographer for this shot of Eric Pedersen.

  1. I was wondering about Earl Forbes as a photographer.

  2. Pederson had issues with a very short temper. After bodybuilding, went into wrestling which caused more problems.
    Self discipline was not his forte, shall we say….:)

    1. I knew about the boxing career, but not the short temper. In some of the photos I've seen he looks like the prima donna type.

  3. Mr Pederson had a very bad reputation and a criminal record. There’s a story about him and a friend stealing a car to make it to his bodybuilding competition on time. He was also known as an “enforcer” for collecting gambling debts in Las Vegas. A real sociopath.

    1. Wow, I should include him in my next Bad Boy series.
