Danny Padilla (born 1951) is an American bodybuilder known as The Giant Killer. He began training at seven in Rochester, New York, after watching his older brother and cousin lift for wrestling, and won the Mr. Rochester contest in 1970 while still in high school. He added small upstate New York shows such as Mr. Buffalo and Mr. Syracuse and finished in the top twenty at the Junior Mr. America and Mr. America. After a loss at the AAU World Championships, where judges told him that at 5 feet 2 inches he was too short, he switched to the IFBB and in 1975 won both the lightweight class and the overall title at the IFBB Mr. USA, his first IFBB contest, held at Madison Square Garden.
