Still no disgusting bubble gut
WooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
no back.(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSEM1XKLSuWpOuip38w0SyLxYg3JgnrVe0pZZPMShUQH8Yr5MgoFg)
look at his pics. all from the front or side. never back.
great genetics for legs, even calves. 'course he had short legs and a longer torso (combine that with high lats? bad news).
good chest.
long torso + only 4 abs and no serratus? = incomplete looking midsection, no matter how small his waist was.
of course his biceps are gonna be big. weak back = good bi's. great back = unimpressive bi's, usually.
aside from his legs, he's got the typical "black guy lifting weights with his buddies" physique. might train chest/arms & some delts 2-3x for every 1 back workout. maybe some ab's when he's gotta get in shape.

Yea, you proved my point.
High, underdeveloped lats(& rhomboids) in relation to the rest of him. (Most people won't even be able to point out where his lats are. The most likely point out the teres muscle group a mistake those for "lats".)
That's an underdeveloped back.
And he's in posing trunks, but I doubt that's from a contest. He's super smooth and has a layer of not just water but plenty of fat as well. Even has a bit of love-handles going on. Not to mention the hams and glutes.
I don't believe I've ever seen a lean, hard Victor Richards. He may have been one of the modern-era's "in the gym tank-top Mr.Olympias", but after him came Aaron Baker, and after Aaron came Dennis James, and after Dennis we have who? Ramy? You can put all 3 of those guys next to Vic and Vic loses each time.
no back.Agreed that most shots are from the front. There are few backs shots.

what if I told you there is no such thing as thick skin??? It's called body fat !!!
I disagree with your assertion of Ramy being a tank top mr Olympia. Sure he looks good in a tank but also has an Olympia quality physique on stage. He only hasn't won due to politics. Hopefully he will continue to improve and get more muscular maturity and can no longer be denied.
I couldnt think of anybody else.I don't really see him as t.t.Mr.o either. Not like Aaron or Dennis, who looked unreal in the gym but didn't have the same effect onstage. Never got to see Dennis in the shape he was in for his thailand gym pics, but saw Aaron in person who looked like a shorter, thicker flex wheeler, or Ronnie Coleman or Ronnie Coleman looked like Ronnie Coleman, but never had that "holy shit. Look at that" effect onstage.
Aaron Baker had some fantastic onstage peaks, here he is with Muntzer...

95 Arnold he took 6th to munzers 4th. Aaron was always the guy you saw in person and thought "wtf is that. How is that dude not Mr.Olympia?" I dont know what the he'll you're trying to argue.
he was overlooked, its not that he was a tank top Olympia that you alluded to earlier, he hit his peak onstage unlike Dennis James.
Aaron Baker had everything--in spades. Just goes to show howsubjectivefixed bodybuilding judging can be.
