Shoulders and arms are photoshopped. Def levrone or ray, wheeler never had the work ethic to represent the sport as our #1.

Robby Robinson.  In 1977, 1978, 1979 he was AWESOME how he never won is a mystery like how Arnold beat Sergio in 1972?   ???

Gotta go with Flex, and Nasser in either '95 or '96 Olympia (the one where he just about beat Dorian on back).

I was at the '96 Olympia.  Nasser looked great from the front, but got destroyed from the back.  There may be pics from various angles where it looks close, but, in person, it didin't seem  that way at all.

Best bodybuilders to not win but had the best chance to are Shawn "money bags" Ray and The Black Prince Robby Robinson 8)

No one ever has been even close to taking him on back, some pics here and there may give you a slight illusion of it being somewhat close but in reality no one is at his level in terms of back.
Title: Re: Best Bodybuilder Of All Time Not To Win The Sandow ?
Post by: natural al on January 19, 2007, 06:39:37 AM
Robby Robinson, Danny Padilla (1981), Labrada (88, 89), Ray (90), Christian (90), Wheeler, Levrone...throw Rich Gaspari in there as well.,...

I forgot that he was DQed. Well, I've seen a few pics from '96 and he was ripped as hell and beat Yates on various front poses, but I agree, he didn't look as good as Yates from the back, although IMO it was close.

I think he might of looked better, front and back, in '95. I believe the back double bi shot I saw was from the '95 O, and he was on par with Yates there.

I gotta go with the black prince. He was head and shoulders (and biceps) above the rest. With levrone and flex it was way closer.
Title: Re: Best Bodybuilder Of All Time Not To Win The Sandow ?

yeah never liked his (flex) personality..altho it shouldnt matter as its a physiqe competition...also flex went overboard with eiseclene and synthol..so did levrone with the eiseclene a couple of years in the late 90s.

Yes Padilla also should have won it.

Padilla was the victim of the biggest robbery, the year Franco won. There's a pic around of them onstage together that year. It's not even close.

That said, I'll say Mentzer.
Title: Re: Best Bodybuilder Of All Time Not To Win The Sandow ?
Post by: buffbodz on January 19, 2007, 08:32:53 AM
So many should have won......Mike Metzner, Flex, Naz 98', Kevin, Lebrada, Padilla.  The list could go on and on.

Nasser's back was NEVER on par with Dorians , in fact no ones was , these are back shots from the 1995 Mr Olympia
