People That Should Have Been Mr.Olympia

[Clint]

I posted a long analysis dealing with that competition and the shape/mass paradox and came to the logical conclusion that the only winner outside of Ronnie would have been Victor. I'm too lazy to dig that up now.

In any event, I feel his pick for Levrone winning in 2000 was unrealistic due to how far and beyond Ronnie was in terms of back and leg development.

I also disagree with my 2000 choice

That one was more personal choice then ANY of them, in all reality Ronnie obviously had that one won, I had to throw at least one personal choice out there though

I'm not going to pick based off of what year they should have won, but some of the best all time bodybuilders who for one reason or another never got the sandow in my opinion are Shawn Ray, Flex Wheeler, Kevin Levrone, Vic Richards (I know, but he had everything), Chris Cormier (maybe still be competing but obviously no longer has a chance), Lou Ferrigno, Mike Mentzer and Gary Strydom (again, still around but obviously long since done with Olympia dreams). There are other greats to be sure, but all of those guys looked amazing in their heydays and had builds that compare to winners of the Mr. O, I am not going to argue Strydoms back, I am not saying he should have beat Haney, just saying he had an amazing build.

That is the best way to reply to the TS post..

If you take away who they were up against and look at their physiques on their own merits then yes - Shaun Ray et al should have won - everyone goes on about how good Ray and Flex looked in 93 but it was arguably the year Dorian showed up in his best ever shape aswell.

However the point is pretty moot really to not put it into context of who they were up against as arguably all of the current BBrs would be Mr 'O' if you compare them to Mr O's of old so you can't really argue the point otherwise than in the context of who they were competing against at the time and just feel narked that they were just in the wrong era!

That's one hell of a long sentence!

But I fully agree with your sentiments

Paul Dillet

Paul Dillet

What year if I may ask? I can't see that Paul deserved it any year.

 

[Beefcake]

Are we basing out votes on physique simply or posing as well? If it's both, Dillet certainly would not have won. He could hold a pose for 1/18 of a second and even after that, he would come off the stage winded, just from posing.

Everything counts and this is why Dillet didn't deserve it. He was almost there but not good enough. He had the size and conditioning but he was lacking especially from back and posing.

 

[emil]

levrone... for sure!
