Top 5 in order:

1.Ronnie
2.Lee Haney
3.Dorian
4.Kevin
5.Flex

Honorable mention:
1.Shawn Ray
2.Jay Cutler

1 - Lee Haney
2 - Dorian Yates
3 - Kevin Levrone
4 - Flex Wheeler
5 - Ronnie Coleman



  As much as I prefer Haney's physique, Dorian at the 95' Olympia destroys everyone in the history of bodybuilding except for Ronnie 98', which comes a close second. And Dorian in the Kevin Horton pic 6 weeks out from the 95' Olympia at 283 lbs is on a league of his own so far above everyone else that all other bodybuilders who ever competed are redundant.

  Arnold 74', Sergio 67', Levrone 95' and Haney 88' would all defeat Dorian if you use the old pre-1983 judging criteria, but using the new criteria, Dorian 95' is the undisputed king of bodybuilding. Wheeler would be a little too small to defeat Dorian even if you use the old criteria. It seems like Weider and Rockell custom-made the new criteria especifically for Dorian.

physique wise, he is far below the others.

Jay only became Mr. O. because he waited long enough for Ronnie to fizzle out.

the instant Ronnie was injured and over the hill, Jay won like that.

it was a series of circumstances that allowed him to win the O. he never had an O. quality physique..

I'd throw shawn in there as well. I think he'd rank higher than Kevin in terms of overall performance over the years

Post by: disco_stu on September 02, 2009, 03:28:51 PM
ill say it again..for the 50,000th time..Flex doesnt qualify due to calf implants.

Labrada should be on the list. He had Haney and Yates beaten twice.

But judging awards stacks of muscle at the expense of perfection..thats why a fridge can win.

  Ronnie only became Mr.Olympia because Dorian retired due to his injuries. If that weren't so, given that Dorian was only 35 in 97', he would have won for the next 5 years and Ronnie would never have become Mr.Olympia. Speak on this, Hulkster. :)

you think a shorter and smaller version of Mr. Levrone is better than the one and only Mr. Levrone?

it's easier to place top 5 at the O when you only compete once a year, like shawn did ::)

levrone destroys shawn, 2 pro show wins vs 20 pro show wins.. Kevins lowest placing was 6th and only two 6th place placings in his whole career.. I'm pretty certain he has like 50 something top 3 finishes lol. Best record ever
