Should Dexter Jackson retire?

What the fuck?  Let us have our fun, mods.

i think ron is still angry with me for posting boobs on the main board earlier.

Chris Dickerson won the O without calves and half a pec.......Now thats an accomplishment.

dickerson had a bad pec tear and biceps smaller than his elbows.  but his calves were some of the best ever.

Yea, it's getting lame now, shit's getting deleted all over boards lately.

Well, realistically, it probably won't get any better than this for Dexter. Best year of his career and current Mr. Olympia. Going out with a bang means he might be remembered in 10-20 years time as a great champion, very consistant pro and someone who played the game to his advantage, but if he keeps going and places lower and lower, it will likely damage his reputation and he will finish on a note less than his best.

[Cromespyder]

dexter wil never be remembered as a great champ, he will be forgotten like franco ro something. 1 hit 'wonder'

[Figo]

Its good to have a new Mr O, instead of these "dinasties", Haney, Yates, Coleman, Arnold before...

Makes it more interesting, and a better show.

Dex 1 more, maybe 09 or later, then Wolf, Vic, Heath, or someone out of nowhere.

Shoe-in for 2009.  With 2 O wins...he'll keep a sponsor and money coming for the next 5-6 yrs ala Ronnie.  So...why stop at his peak?  These guys dont make money like real prof athletes.  I think Vic is the wildcard in all this.  If he levels Phil at the O...then they give it to the returning champ for sure which I dont think Phil is mature enough and has to deal with his current balance issues.   Chest, shoulders and arms are completely out-of-wack.

what company did u sign with toney?

Toney is not Adipo8, i know them both.

[Nordic Beast]

of course its bullshit, how many 40 yr olds do u see put on 10lbs of muscle. Especially one who has been training his whole life.

Ronnie Coleman 2003 

[adipo8]

what company did u sign with toney?

Toney signed with Muscle Tech !
Weider / Muscle Tech - Top 5 O

[Hugo Chavez]

X man will be the Man to watch for the 2009 season. Addition of 10-14 pounds of Muscle and a New contract with a Popular company - I see Xman being a X factor for 09

if not for the pec I would agree...

[Gino30]

Strength of confidence will give Dex another title....

eg. Ronnie 1998...just won, but after that, he creamed them for years

Dex to do the same....

amazing motivation can be gained from achieving your goals....

[alnassak]

I think he is gonna win the Arnold 09 

** Even Phil will be better than him

That man deserved every dollar he got.

[Mars]

exactly, a true legend.
i saw him twice performing.

[Swedish Viking]

Without calves? Are you kidding me? 

 
 
   I was going to say the same thing...since when did Chris Dickerson not have calves?

[mesmorph78]

Does anyone realistically think he has a shot at winning another Mr. Olympia.

With the way Phil Heath is progressing every year, I think he's going to the Mr. O for ALTEAST the next five years ( even with the narrowest clavicles to ever find there way on a bodybuilding stage. )

mr o for 5 years..
not with victor.. around

[Tom Cruise]

Why should he retire?

[slaveboy1980]
