Shawn should have won two Olympias - 94 and possibly 96.

Yates destroys him on back shots though.

Padilla was better and was robbed.

Ray was narrow, lacked dryness and was a little soft most of the time, quads were a little blocky and lacked sweep. Just too small in comparison to some others who were at least as good, such as Wheeler.

pound for pound, I think Shawn outmuscled Yates.  And he had some much more muscle detail and separation.  Plus he had full round muscle bellies.  And, he more than held his own in back shots against Yates.

No way. Shawn's front & rear lat spreads were nothing special, not to mention he was narrow and had blocky quads. Dorian beat him fair and square everytime and by a huge margin at that.

Flaws? height these contests are for the genetic elite he was 5'7" , muscular bulk 205 pounds isn't that spectacular even for someone his height , he had a long torso and short legs , he had high calves , narrow clavicles , no back width

awesome bodybuilder no doubts but don't claim he had no flaws , you can argue all you want if his type of physique should be the ideal in which a Mr Olympia should represent but that's a matter of semantics , Dorian destroyed him utterly as well as everyone else in 1995

ironically, musclemag's contest review of the 94 olympia said otherwise..

said shawn's back was good enough to be right there beside dorian, and that dorian's back had filled in somewhat compared to 93..

Yeah and you typed he's right up there in the back double biceps shot NO he's not NOT in 94/95/96 NOT ever

Shawn was gifted second place in 1994 never mind he beat Dorian , he was BEHIND Levrone after the prejudging in 94 and only beat him by virtue of a better posing routine

Shawn was never close to Dorian ever

Musclemag's contest pics were good, but their writers were morons who never got it right (esp. Johnny Fitness). I'd rather read one of your posts about Ronnie in the 99 Mr Olympia.

Shawn never, not once, claimed that he deserved to win any of the Olympias over Dorian and for good reason. You just keep proving how little you know about judging a contest, Hulkster - stick to being a Ronnie fan boy and leave the analysis to guys like ND ;D

Hulkster KNOWS dick about competitive bodybuilding , Shawn was trailing Levrone after the prejudging in points and only managed to edge past him with a better posing routine in the night show , 1994 was a close contest ...................for second place

Exactly. It was night and day between him and Doz every time they competed. He was pissed off with Flex placing above him in the 93 Olympia and after the 94 Olympia, said, "I feel I didn't get what I deserved last year. Fast forward to tonight and I'm really pleased with my placing".

Dorian trampled Shawn in 96 was well , Shawn was never a legitimate thread for the Olympia title if you believe otherwise I have a bridge for sale in Brooklyn

again you can argue if Shawn's physique should represent the ideal but the judges have spoken and Shawn Ray wasn't Mr Olympia material

Exactly he was happy to be runner-up again and bitched & moaned about apples & oranges

Shawn has a very nice physique and did very well for himself despite his shortcomings he should be proud but he was NEVER EVER going to become Mr Olympia even if Dorian never existed

These guys can't separate what they like from what wins 99% of GetBiggers judge physiques on what they prefer , they can't separate their bias & preference from what wins , Dorian Yates

IMO the Olympia title is a character award and Shawn nd Flex just had a type of personality the IFBB may have not wanted to represent the top title of bodybuilding.  I easily predicted Ronnies first win for this reason.....he was a cop and allegedly known to be natural.

Actually ND, that's not a 57 pound advantage when you factor in the height difference. Shawn was 5'6"-5'7"  and Dorian 5'10"-5'11". Each inch of height equals to about 10 pounds more on the scale, meaning if Shawn were 3-4" taller, he would have weighed 30-40 pounds more, bringing his weight up to 235-245 pounds in 1994 and therefore, Dorian only would have had between 17-27 pounds on him. Really surprised you failed to take this into account ND.

Dorian wasn't even close to being 262 pounds in 1996. He claimed to be in his mid 250's, but I believe he was less. He looked FAR thinner than his 1993 physique, where he supposedly weighed the same.

No one has no flaws!!.. being naturally small is a flaw!.. ronnie’s calves are naturally weak so why do we blame him for having naturally weak calves and don’t blame shawn for being naturally small? Bodybuilding is a genetics sports!..

Yes all shawn’s body parts were good but one important point is that non of them was the best!!.. he had great back but dorian’s back was better, he had good average arms not as some one like lee priest, his quads were good but not as good as nasser or cormier, his shoulders were good but not good beside someone like levrone.. etc..

Actually ND, that's not a 57 pound advantage when you factor in the height difference. Shawn was 5'6"-5'7"  and Dorian 5'10"-5'11". Each inch of height equals to about 10 pounds more on the scale, meaning if Shawn were 3-4" taller, he would have weighed 30-40 pounds more, bringing his weight up to 235-245 pounds in 1994 and therefore, Dorian only would have had between 17-27 pounds on him. Really surprised you failed to take this into account ND.

Actually in Steeve Reeves book he says for every 1 inch you add 5 pounds , so add 15 pounds to Ray's weight bringing him to 220 pounds

and do you realize what a 17-27 pound advantage in muscular bulk is? look at the difference between Dorian from 92-93 with 17 pounds , either way Dorian has a huge advantage in muscular bulk so Shawn's still at a disadvantage

I'm not. the man doesn't have a clue. ::)

I don't have a clue? you're so pathetic you'll agree with anyone as long as it give you an chance to TRY and make me look bad , I don't blame you though I made you look stupid for a very long time you're always looking for revenge hence why you follow me around

even entertaining his 10 pound per inch theory , Dorian still has a clear advantage in muscular bulk so either way you're still and idiot and Shawn is still deficient in part of the judging criteria in which YOU don't know anything about , either way Hulkster = FAIL  ;)

1994 was a close contest ........................ ........................ for second , Dorian destroyed everyone

Dorian wasn't even close to being 262 pounds in 1996. He claimed to be in his mid 250's, but I believe he was less. He looked FAR thinner than his 1993 physique, where he supposedly weighed the same.

he was listed as 257 pounds and he did look smaller than usual and flat especially in the quads

The real calculation is to add 5 pounds for every inch under 6'0" and every 1" over 6'0" you're adding 10 pounds. Either way, the weight really does have little to no relevance seeing guys like Flex Wheeler according to you had far less muscle than Kevin Levrone, seeing Flex at his best was 227-232 pounds and was a full inch taller. Kevin at his best was around 248-253 pounds. My point is, you can't always base your judging criteria on bodyweight, seeing added bodyweight doesn't always equate to quality. The whole QUANTITY over QUALITY game, which we've seen too much of in the last decade.

Look at at Arnold S. At the 1975 Mr. Olympia Arnold weighed 227 pounds at 6'1.5", yet he probably had more quality muscle than Lou Ferrigno who outweighed him by 40 pounds onstage that year. Do you see what I'm saying?

Flaws? height these contests are for the genetic elite he was 5'7" , muscular bulk 205 pounds isn't that spectacular even for someone his height , he had a long torso and short legs , he had high calves , narrow clavicles , no back width

awesome bodybuilder no doubts but don't claim he had no flaws , you can argue all you want if his type of physique should be the ideal in which a Mr Olympia should represent but that's a matter of semantics , Dorian destroyed him utterly as well as everyone else in 1995




totally disagree...shawn was definitely robbed a few times..I attribute it to jealously and people simply not liking the guy......he had a very pleasing physique.....I really believe that people and judges didn't like shawn because he was outspoken and cocky..and they didn't give him the Olympia to keep him in his place....can you imagine his cockiness if he had ACTUALLY WON????

Size for the sake of size does NOT always equal quality. Every bodybuilder in the last decade feels they need to be between 250-300 pounds at 5'8"-5'10" and we've seen that this does NOT equal quality. Jay GUTLER anyone?

Guys like Labrada, Ray, Benfatto, Zane, Robinson, Wheeler, Coe, Paris, etc, were ALL quality physiques.

I agree size is redundant if it's size and nothing else , Dorian has the density , dryness and balance to compliment the size and it is part if the IFBB judging criteria , Dorian had a quality physique even if it wasn't aesthetically please

to argue Shawn's type of physique should embody what the Olympia ideal should be is understandable but to say he beat Dorian is another , according to the IFBB criteria Shawn was never going to be Mr Olympia sans Yates or not

Shawn promised to beat Haney in 91 and he represented what the Olympia title should be blah , blah , blah , same Shawn the sport should conform to him and he shouldn't conform to the sport

the reality Hulkster is Dorian Yates trampled Shawn Ray and that pic is proving exactly why , bigger , harder , drier , better balanced = Yates victory ....Shawn Ray " I got the place I deserved tonight " that is reality and you my stupid little friend are in denial of it

You're wrong. Hulkster knows more about those contests and who should have won over the judging panel, the bodybuilding mags, the competitors themselves as well as guys like you and me. And the most amazing thing is, Hulkster knows all this just by looking at a few pics of the contest.

Wao You can beat anybody with a built like that.

Hard to believe that Judges thought Yates was better.

Ray looks great in some poses and completely disappears in others, bottom line.

Also, standing beside others he often looked like an insignificant gnat. No height, no width.

Never looked anywhere near dry.

And as someone said, he had no standout areas.

Wheeler had more muscle, deeper cuts and definitely more dryness, and even he was not big enough until the late 90s to beat Yates.

most of those shots are from 93.

we are not talking about 93.

94 and onwards was post tear and dorian never looked the same as he did pretear.

thats where shawn overtook him:

your posting 97' shots of yates and comparing them to 94' shots of ray

I am illustrating the point that post tear yates sucked compared to pretear yates.

oh, and here is a 97 shot, and guess what? shawn owns him! ;)

Hardly fair, ...to Shawn because he still couldn't hang.  Good bodybuilder, but too narrow and too small to take it all the way.  It's not as though in 1994 Shawn's physique was so different from other years, anyway.  He looked very good, but he never changed much year to year.  Even when he placed runner up, he still wasn't close to the title.

Post by: Royal Lion on September 13, 2009, 02:04:44 PM
Even after 93 Dorian had too much size and was too complete for Ray to have a chance.  If anything, 94, was the closest.  Ray was awesome, but simply too small to compete with the likes of Dorian, Kevin, Nasser, or Ronnie.

A lot of people give you shit about being an idiot , I never joined them but with this statement I'm gonna have to agree

1995 Dorian was untouchable to utter anything to the contrary is lunacy

ND: I have a question. There is a quote from you... (I can re-post it if you like). Where you said that you feel that Dorian never should have been an "O" based on his gut alone. It also said that you were a wheeler fan, and would have had him first if it were up to you.

Speak on this!

I never agreed with a Mr Olympia having a gut and I said they should have stopped it with Yates and we wouldn't have had this problem today and I was rooting for Flex to win in 1993 and was dumb founded when he lost I just couldn't comprehend it , and then I learned how contests were judged and then realized just how far Dorian was above everyone in 1993 , Dorian's gut in 1993 wasn't that bad compared to 1997 but I don't think it should be part of the Sandow but it's not up to what I think the Mr Olympia should be obviously , I don't think Ronnie should have won with bitch-tits in 1998 regardless of how great he looked but that's the way it goes.

Ok...so whats wrong with just saying that the judging is wrong? Even the IFBB has issued several mandates that distended guts would be penalized, (which has yet to really happen). There is nothing wrong with holding out for more asthetic judging....and in the case of this paticular comparision Ray was a far more Asthetic bodybuilder then Yates could ever hope to be. I would have personally had him first in 94, and 96.

You can argue all you want on what the sport should be but I'm focusing on what the sport is ! it reminds me of this quote from Mike Christian on Yates at the 93 Olympia

Mr Olympia comeptitor Mike Christain

Quote
I think Dorian meet all the IFBB terms. He had mass , he was symmetrical and he had lots of definition. I thought he won. Can he be beaten? That depends on how you look at it. I say yes. But under the IFBB terms of juging -no. Number one is mass, He has that. Number two is symmetry. He is symmetrical Under the IFBB rules , he'll keep winning and winning."


Dorian simply meet the criteria better than anyone else regardless if I think it should be different .

I understand the argument you are making, but I think it lacks validity, only becuase I really think that this is a matter, of the practical vs. the ideal. Mike Christian is correct in his observation, but not because the judging standards actully held up to the asthetic values that the IFBB puts forth, but rather what actully works in a practical manner. If contests were actully judged according to standard, then Bob Paris, Lee Labrada, Shawn Ray, and, (possibly) Kevin Levrone would all have a Sandow in their possession. The posing round would actully mean something, and so would other factors, (skin tone, presentation, the symmetry round would actully be looking at symmetry, as opposed to just being another muscularity round most of the time, etc).

This may just be a matter of semantics, but I think that the ideal that most getbiggers/bodybuilding fans espouse, is the same as the supposed ideal of the IFBB. To me it isnt unreasonable to call bullshit on the IFBB's lack of upholding their own standards.

The thing is ALL rounds are physique rounds , not many people know this. I've always asked this of people ever wonder how Dorian won the symmetry round despite not being the most symmetrical? answer all rounds are physique rounds , meaning ALL of the criteria is assessed at once .

Symmetry is NOT judged as a separate entity unto itself ....muscular bulk , balance development , density & dryness are ALL judge without judging symmetry alone . A very symmetrical guy should NOT win the symmetry round if he's lacking in muscular size and density , same goes with the muscularity round ( that is NOT judged on muscularity alone ) a guy should not win this round he's he's very muscular but lacks in balance & proportion and symmetry , the same holds true for the posing rounds which is exactly why Dorian always won with straight firsts. It's the guy who meets ALL of the criteria the best should be awarded the title

and people have been crying that Paris represented what bodybuilding should be or used to be and Haney shouldn't have been Mr Olympia , replace Paris with Labrada , Ray with Yates , Kevin with Ronnie , so technically the IFBB is adhering to it's own rules it's the physiques who are changing the game .

I would have had no problems with Flex Wheeler beating Dorian in 1993 from a personal preference standpoint but I know according to the criteria Yates was the better man

only to the untrained eye...for those in the know, well, lets just say there is a reason why the shadow has such a poor post tear rep as far as physique goes...and shawn is widely believed to have been kept from winning the olympia when he really should have won.

lets not forget the whole reason this thread was started, shall we?

Ok lets see if you answer this time.  How are you an expert?  Do you compete? Have EVER competed? Are you a judge? Have you EVER judged?  Are you employed as a bodybuilding magazine writer?  Are you a Pro Trainer or nutritionist?  If you say no to all these (I'm sure you will) then you prove my point that you are nothing but a schmoe with a fantasy of kneeling in front of Big Ron's little Ronnie.

Yeah I never once claimed 2001 was fixed or 2002 , contests are ONLY correct when they fit your biased way of thinking

and stop claiming pics & video agree with your position , you're the idiot who claimed after looking at the pics & video Dorian lost the 1993 Mr Olympia and Ronnie has more detailed calves than Dorian , or Shawn Ray beats Dorian in the front latspread , and Ronnie dominated the 2001 Mr Olympia and Ronnie more even more grainy than Dorian , shut up already you dummy you see what you want and 99% of the time in directly contradicts REALITY

Hahahahahhahahahaha Hulkster just got owned

he has the balls to type a ' trained eye ' ? he claimed Dorian lost the 1993 Mr Olympia to Flex Wheeler , after reviewing all the pics & videos , his ' trained eye ' lead him to the conclusion , Ronnie has more detail in his calves than Dorian did

he never even knew the judging criteria until I posted it and he still doesn't know how to apply it.

She can't admit politics, both because she's a shill for both the IFBB and ironage and because it completely undermines the fantasy that these are always legit above-board "competitions" that ND somehow understands the judging of more than other mere mortals here. His heroes have "won" these fair and square.. ::)

In a nutshell, ND has expended far too much time defending this crap to back down now-too humiliating. ;D

I thought I had a working knowledge of this sport, but I must be one of the uneducated masses.

Rather than constantly touting the existence of politics, please provide some examples.  Show us a competition where one competitor who lost should have clearly won.  Then provide proof of the incorrect decision and tell us the gains the "fixers" got from doing so.

I'll give you Arnold's last show, because you can see why that might happen.

That thread has more compelling arguments for contests NOT being fixed.

As stated before, I've followed the "sport" since '85.   I asked you for an example from the Haney period on forward, since I haven't read about too many controversial decisions on the major level.  I don't need to learn some history.

Also, you haven't given any explanation to your statement why Fox should have beaten Haney in Haney's first Olympia, other than a quote from Sergio.  That hardly screams "fix".

As usual your posts have no content just personal attacks and cries of racism and politics , you can't and never have defended your ' position ' and are reduced to posting shots of Dorian not even flexed and have the balls to claim he didn't deserve to win  :o

you don't know how contests are judged hence you always come to the conclusion they're fixed when you can't even comprehend how they work , it must be the system , speaks volumes on your ignorance .
