Yes.  He'd probably would have won it 10 times and retire in his prime,  mid 30's.   

He was a TV star and still getting those 20s for pictures. Had he not made Hollywood money and was just a bodybuilder...imagine what he'd be doing now.

Good point. Lou made the right choice, because it's unknown whether a role like that would come up again. He'd already won multiple major championships and Arnold was retired at that point, so there wasn't much left to prove.

He's making $40 for pics.  And  In some cases his line is the biggest one at comiccons across the country.

I don’t think he would of Zane was a different direction @ that time after the Arnold dominant era of the better part of the 1970s.

If your just looking @ it physique wise I don’t think he would of beaten Zane in the late 1970s too complete, Conditioned, proportioned and Zane’s prime years.

Lou,s best chance was the immediate years after Arnold retired if Lou had entered in 1976...that would of been his BEST chance other than that..

between 1980-1982 with 3 different guys sharing it around NONE of them in their prime years...Arnold @ 80% in 1980, Franco with no legs and shocking Gyno in 1981 and Dickerson torned biceps and torned chest in 1982,

After 1983 Forget it...he would never of beaten a prime Bannout ditto against Lee Haney in ANY year with the obvious exception of the 1990 Olympia.

Bye the time he did actually come back in 1992...the sport was again heading in a different direction that Lee Haney had set during his reign between 1984-1991 with a different level in physique standards in Yates, Levrone, Ray, etc too his credit Lou IMO was @ his absolute best in 1992 (sans his ridiculous calf implants) and got relegated too 12th if memory serves correctly...12th...at his best.

Louie outmassed Zane by an incredible amount and 1974 proved he was able to get shredded. Louie in his 1974 Olympia/Universe shape would have given a 1977 Zane a run for his money. He was actually looking to replicate that, in some of the photos from his training that year. Having said that, Zane bit beat a bigger Robby, so obviously it wasn't just size that would have won it.

i remastered this classic movie to make it more high-definition, and fortunately, i think the results are good...and this movie was released in 1983 after shooting in 1982, and it is really childish and terribly boring, but i think Lou's muscular body is the best ever.if Lou had competed in the 1982 Mr. Olympia after filming this movie, i think he could have beat Chris to win

You "think" he could have beaten Dickerson? LOL. That's the understatement of the day.
