Not as consistent as Levrone or as good, but certainly the freakiest to never win a Mr. O

Absolutely Levrone!

Post by: RZA on April 27, 2009, 04:23:06 AM
I'd say:

1/2) Nubret also or Labrada (for balance, proportion and symmetry).

3)Flex '93, too bad he could never replicate it and had to face a top-form Yates.

4/5)Levrone and Shawn Ray.

5) Padilla '81

Agreed, although you can also throw in Mike Francois at his peak. Shawn Ray would make the cut if he wasn't so short, with his poor rear lat spread and blocky quads.

C'mon Sherief, the guys had no wheels in 2000 and 2002. He was judged on half a body. Sure, Ronnie really started looking like a piece of crap but the 'O ain't a contest for paraplegics.

kiwiol why the hate for sherief?

he does deserve to be a mod.

he posts great threads, and posts. He also know loads about bodybuilding history etc he is fair, intelligent, a great debater, lives the lifestyle and lovs the sport of bodybuilding

what do you look for in a mod on a bodybuilding board if he isn't it ?

No one is hating here. It's obvious that neither of you understand what it takes to be a mod of this board. Sherief can be mod of most other boards in Getbig, but not the G&O. It's just my opinion and I know this place fairly well.

And what I look for in a mod is irrelevant, cause it's not my call to make. There are heaps of guys who post the same kind of stuff as Sherief and have done so for longer, with better quality - Royalty, The shadow, Mike Arvilla, Musclecenter etc, to name a few.

Modding has nothing to do with the posts a person makes or how intelligent and handsome you think they are - it's about enforcing rules and making calls on what stays and what gets moved for what reason, without ruining the charm and overall quality of the board.

yes sherief has all that in abundance  8)

also i agree about the other names, musclecentre especially has been on a rol recently with some outstanding threads  8)

so we agree sherief should be a mod of a board thats not the g&o?

What's the big deal about being a mod? If you want to post good content, you can do it regardless of your stature here. Being mod is nothing more than a status symbol and if Sherief is good enough to mod some of the other boards here, so are a whole lot of other people who contribute just as much in their own way and have done so for far longer.

But it's starting to look like I'm making a case against the guy, when my intention right from the beginning was to make him aware of the fact that his being a mod of the G&O is about as likely to occur as gh15 and Sevastase holding hands and flying off into the sunset towards Niburu in a UFO, to live happily ever after ;D
