Thanx for a great thread. Interesting read also.

Don't know how Roger Walker placed so high!

Braaq · Dec 28, 2008

He looked good, but IMHO his name is what gave him the title that year. He should not have won.

Clint · Dec 28, 2008

I agree with Blake.

IMO I would have it Dickerson, Zane, Mentzer.

sexnews · Dec 28, 2008

Not easy.

I also used to think that Arnold didn't deserve the victory, but later.....I don't know anymore.

I know size isn't everything, but look at the two pics where he is standing relaxed next to Mentzer.

My conclusion is that he wasn't as good as he was say in 1975, but still good enough to win in 1980.

There's quite a few pictures in here I haven't seen before.
Thanks bro :xyxthumbs:

1980 one of the biggest Olympias

KaiGold · Jan 12, 2020

The top prize and what Arnold Schwarzenegger won at the 1980 Mr. Olympia was only $25,000. The winner of the 2020 Mr. Olympia will win $250,000!

That was the most controversial Olympia of all time. Arnold was the color commentator on the CBS broadcast of it and was getting in shape for a Conan movie when at the 11th hour he entered the show. Being a past Olympia winner, he was automatically qualified for life. Of course he won even though Mike Mentzer, Frank Zane and even Tom Platz looked better.

I maybe got it wrong. I thought total prizes were $500,000. I'll see if I can find it.
