Flex in his prime had the best lines of ANY BBer in history (Paris, Reeves a close second).
Close, but not better than Nubret. A small crowd in that group though, only a few.
Wheeler never winning the Olympia's just another example of the BS behind many of the contest results. Others like Padilla, Robinson and Fox were also robbed, which is why there was a wholesale defection/retirement of most of the top BBs from Weider in the late 70s/early 80s. The most amazing thing about it is that Weider has been able to hold on to any degree of legitimacy, many on getbig for example accept the decisions as gospel, and clearly put those who were permitted to win above those who weren't.
