To slam the dude because he is 26 years old is insane.  Let us take a look at the most recent Mr. Olympia...a man considered to be the freakiest human to ever walk the Earth (except for a few Dorian nutsuckers like ND).... Ronnie Coleman.  If you look at Ronnie's physique at 26 years of age, he was big but not even a shell of what he is today.  Remember, the man worked fulltime as a police officer till his late twenties/early thirties.  His body responded to heavy training, incredible eating and loads of sauce.  Give Phil Heath a few years and he may be there. He has a hell of of a lot more potential than the German waterboy Wolf.  Branch is awesome, but shorter than Phil and is not as symmetrical.  Heath will be tough in five years if he stays focused. Then again, if Ronnie wants to disprove all the naysayers he could be hangin around for number 14.

What is a "better" bodybuilding career then the three icons you listed? Winning the Olympia? They all had great careers and continue help the industry. Phil's more then proven himself in the NPC ranks, give him some time and he will do the same in the IFBB.

Look for video clips at http://www.phillipheath.com in the coming weeks as we follow his rookie season.

I agree hes a really good new pro and has a good structure so i think his future will be bright. But his structure isnt qute as good as shawn or kev and as for flex well heath will never come close!

Don't be so sure.  Levrone's structure wasn't the absolute best - his torso was quite long - but at his best he just totally outmuscled Wheeler with a density and thickness that Flex couldn't match.  Dorian had a supposedly inferior structure to Wheeler too but blew him away as if he were a little boy.  I would say Heath's structure is right up there and won't hold him back.

Well, you were kinda right. He deserved to win in 2010, but didn't.

Yes and yes on the above but Jay dwarfed him, especially just standing there, he was wider and thicker big time, now in 11 Phil was fucken puffed out big time, despite the only 5-6 lb Phil gained it looked like 20lb and Jay was out-classed and Jay did not out-mass Phil enough to make up grounds.

He looks good and will keep improving untill he starts reading his own press clipings.  He's got along way to go before he can even be mentioned in the same sentence as the 3 above bodybuilders.  Well see in 5 years if he's still getting early call outs.

How many Mr Os did shawn kevin or flex win? Oh thats right, just saying.  :o

This is true, but damn the competition was a thousand times better back when they were all in their prime.

I don't think so, unless he stays at the top of his game for a very long time.  There are not enough high profile shows these days to build the resume of a Kevin Levrone, Shawn Ray or Flex Wheeler.
