Title: Most overated BB.
Post by: Pet shop boys on March 09, 2009, 05:06:42 AM: I dont mean popular bb(Palumbo,Kovak,Chickerillo,Kamali,etc)

to make this thread a bit different...bodybuilders who actually won an important tittle, yet you dont see how.

My first choice is Frank Zane 3x Mr.O!!! and i dont see where in his body he's worth that tittle.

WOOOOOSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHh

Post by: dustin on March 09, 2009, 02:39:43 PM: Dorian Yates. The only place I ever see him worshiped is on the forums. No one I've met in real life thinks he should have won so many Mr. O's, especially with a burnt out body that was falling apart all over the place.
Title: Re: Most overated BB.
Post by: hipolito mejia on March 09, 2009, 03:00:41 PM: I think it has to be Dorian, since Zane was competing in a time were the top 6 contenders were out of the show...
Yates had an mazing back and lower body but they were so many greats guys around that time..............

Zane is really overated, after 30 years i still see people that think he's one of the greatest....

Do you start random conversations with people asking them if Dorian should have won so many Mr.O's?

Post by: bigbobs on March 09, 2009, 03:23:36 PM: Que ND to chime in and say no one here knows how bb shows are to be judged, judging criteria, shape and proportion and graininess which are only seen live not in pictures, etc etc. ;)

I actually like Dorian and think he deserved the first three Olympias, so I'm not hating...but I would agree in 96 and especially 97 he was the most overrated bodybuilder.

Post by: the_swami on March 09, 2009, 03:28:35 PM: i agree with bigbobs re dorian in 96 and 97 getting gifts .

i would add that in 94, yates was off also and Ray was the true winner in 94.

I've never been a fan of his. But it is what it is. Dexter Jackson is 1998 Mr. Oylmpia first place World Champion. See you later alligator. He's in the history books!

You mean 2008..

As for overrated ,he might be but nobody thinks he's all that to be "overrated" really, you got to have peolple saying that he dominated an era like (zane or Yates) in other to be overrated.
