The man stood all of 5'2" or 5'3" and weighed between 188-198 in competition. How was he beating out SOOOO many top guys. I never thought he looked that great. sure, he had SICK legs and cool abs, but the rest of him never did anything for me. What do you guys think? I think guys like Danny Padilla and Lee Priest were far better than MOMO.

It never "did" anything for you?

It never "did" anything for you?
Meaning, I never saw the WOW factor that he was notorious for? I saw a small guy with a lot of muscle. Guys like Belknap, Priest, Padilla, Ray, ALL that that WOW factor. Benaziza and Makkaway didn't have it imo.

Looks pretty damm good in those pictures u posted
(also saw Momo beat Dorian in person In NYC at The Beacon THeatre)
id have to say no.................he wasn't overated imo

Are you referring to the 1990 competition where Momo took 1st, Dorian 2nd and Padilla 3rd? Was Momo really that much better than the rest?
-
Momo....one of the Greats .......No doubt 8)
-
He was wayyy better than Lee Priest. Post pictures of Lee with those quads, full chest and conditioning, you can't cuz there aren't any to match what you posted of Momo's
-
overrated! do you have eyes? ::)
-
Yes, he was over rated, the same way Lee Priest was.
-
momo>lee, both overrated
-
I don't know that Lee has ever been that shredded...

it's very strange you didnt mention his back!!.. the guy had one of the best backs ever!!.. in my opinion he only weal part was he calves..
-
Truely a great bodybuilder with sick genetics. His conditioning was impecable, but he died for it.
Over rated, no.
He had a great physique that most here would kill for.
-
Momo was great!
1st short guy to pack on serious mass on such a small frame. Still had more in him, imo.
Momo's road to turning pro was 1 contest. He entered the World Champs in his competing debut, and won the lightweight division. I think he made the team due to someone pulling out last minute, and his undoubted potential.
1990, when he took the NOC beating a new pro Yates, as Mike said he was unbelievable. Definitely not underrated!

Remember,this video above is serval years before he died
Not overrated in my opinion,a guy that packed on too much muscle on such a small frame.
-
Fuckin' bullshit that this guy is overrated!
I've barely seen pictures of this guy, but from the ones posted on this thread he's got an incredibly complete physique. His back looks insane!
-
P.I.P
-
His back dominated not only Dorians back but also his mind so deep he trained his back like a maniac to match him (momo). fact.

-
the bitch tits and the stomach bloating towards the end of his life weren't great features but the guy had insane bodyparts and conditioning.
only person ever to win a mr universe title in his FIRST contest!
-
the guy was fuccking incredible
I mean he beat DORIAN YATES !
-
All the guys back then had great posing too not that these clowns today who shake their ass with some cheap rnb songs.
-
Guy was a beast, a short guy with width through the back. No long torso like Priest and short lats. The guy only lacked a little height and calves 2 to 3 inches taller and i think he could have won an Olympia he was that good, seemed to just lose a little in the line up as he was quite short, but standing on his own his density was Yates like and also possessed overall hardness throughout all body parts something a lot of guys couldn't match, he was a standout in the ifbb worlds amateurs as well.

Much like his friend Steve Brisbois, at 5'3" you cant really compare with the monsters. As you said, gets lost in line up.

1990's Night Of THe Champions............... ....and yes MOMO looked incredible that night
-
Overrated? are you crazy??
Thats a complete physique right there........
Dexter has flaws and won the O!!!

5-2 and 5-3 bodybuilders.... ::)

His rectus femoris is crazy in this pic! Check his left thigh. His Vastus medialis is owning his knee cap.

If Momo was 5'11", would he have been better than Nasser El Sonbaty?

Sherief...?

No, 5'11", 189 would be too skinny.
-
No, 5'11", 189 would be too skinny.
I hope you're joking. If Momo was 5'11", you could have added 80-90 pounds to his physique, where he would have hovered around the 270-280 mark in competition (NASSER'S BEST bodyweight).
WHO would have been the WINNER?
-
momo = legend

yes

Very good post. The thing is that he was really the first mass monster considering his height, even a bit before Yates, but getting in condition was very demanding like for most mass monsters, specially once Yates really hit the scene with his insane mass/conditioning combo which set a new standard. That litterally killed Momo. That little extra hardness killed him. But the guy was really impressive and certainly not overrated.

Of course I was.
Who knows who would win? Would Momo keep the same proportions? Conditioning? I'm pretty sure if you took any small BB and photoshopped up to increase their anticipated weight increase, they'd all look better than the guys who are already there.
In other words, I don't think you can really answer the question.
-
his demise was quite sad and the way it happened.was a major threat every show those yrs.he would still be as densely packed with muscle for his height with todays group.

his demise was quite sad and the way it happened.
Seriously fucked up. RIP

Sherief...?
yes because of his tremendous back ;).. nasser's only weak point was his back and if benaziza was the same height as nasser his only weak point would have been his calves.. sure the back is more important than the calves!!..
but since “if” is not reality and benaziza was not the same height as Nasser so Nasser can be considered a better bb :P

Nasser has always said that Momo was the only bodybuilder who impressed him.
-

Momo (all 5'2" of him) at his best was better than Ole Wonky Eye (Nasser) at his best.
Momo was one of the best ever.
-

That's a pretty arrogant/cocky statement for him to have made.

Nothing is cocky if it's the truth my friend.

Momo was a great bodybuilder, but IMO, David Henry beats him hands down.

david henry doesnt have any biceps ................that qualifies him for at least a few mr O victories
-
All the photos which you posted are incredible.
Thick,big, muscular.
I reconfirmed how great he was.
-
He would be competative today even
-
only people who Dorian bash are people who never seen him compete from the audience, only there could his overall mass and complete hardness be realised, bashing a very humble champion of the sport, i just dont get it with you guys, even if you think Ronnie was better, why bag him so much.

No doubt.

He preempted you ;) almost every single thread you make is some how related to or comparing Dorian to whomever

no dorian boy,.. believe it or not but i posted benaziza'z pics beside dorian's not to show he was better but to show how great he was standing beside the great dorian.. i believe i never said dorian at his best (or at any good shape like in 92) was not a great bb!!..
