Shawn Ray is my favorite bodybuilder of all time. Many would agree that he should have won at least one, if not more Olympias. I remember actually believing that I could get as big as him by eating peanut-butter, honey, and bananna sandwiches like he used to say in Flex ;D He is what bodybuilding was, and should still be about: Size, symmetry, and conditioning. Who is your favorite bodybuilder? Please include a decent photo. You can only pick one 8)

I would question anyones sanity if they said they would rather look like Phil over Shawn.

better then dorian, Haney, Arnold, Zane, I'll give you Coleman circa '97-'99' thats about it though.

shawn could make an easy 100k if he went back into the gym for the FL show.
i'd take phils 5'9" physique over shawn's 5'5" physique any day. remember phil can still dunk a basketball and shawn needs a chair to reach the top of the refig. like him or not, phil aint that bad and is still put together better than jay and kai, except for the width
now, shaw is still my favorite playboy bber.

Don't get me wrong, Phil is one of the best pros of today, that isn't saying much. He seems like a good guy but in that pic posted above it looks like he went to the sporting goods dept., and put an air pump to his delts' chest and arms. Michelin tires should sponser him!

people need to wake the fuck up and realize that bodybuilding should not be about who can blow up the biggest. You need to keep some fucking lines at the same time!
-
I have quite a few fav's ( really depends on the era ). If I had a gun to my head, I'd have to go with a well conditioned Zack Khan. Thick, dense muscle. NO weaknesses. I've always been a fan of the mass monsters.

Best physique of all time

Hi Shawn.

Hi Shawn.
no. my name is also shaun but spelled differently. The 81 in my screen name is my birth year. Don't think sean is 29 ;D

If he was a little bit taller with that same build I would give him the number one spot.

nassar looks like shit, just the black market shit he was injecting himself with at the end of his career. what does fatAlice have to say about that?

look at nasser's right bicep compared to his left. looks like someone didn't even "it" out :-\
-
Onstage by himself Shawn looked unbeatable. Put him in a lineup and he seemd to fade away. Just too short and narrow for many of the other Pro's of his era.

people get too caught up on how "big" someone is. Sure paul dillet' or nasser would dwarf sean ray on stage, that doesn't mean they are more complete, or are better bodybuilders.
-
Shawn was one of the most well coditioned Pro's of all time, and I'm also a fan. But, being at several of his shows and seeing him compete, he just didn't have the size or heigth to win to Mr O againt the best of his era. The was one year where Shawn was going to do a few other shows than the O, he still didn't dominate.
-
Shawn Ray is hands down one of the top 5 best bodybuilders of all time!
The man was perfect from head to toe......and what an exceptional poser too!

At least he dosen't have a big gut.

actually I think Shawn should have won one or two Olympias as well, but I think he was his own worst enemy and wasn't well liked by the judges...I think people did not like Shawn because they were jealous of his big contract with Weider and because he used to be so vain about himself...
I was at the 2001 Olympia in Vegas and at the athletes press conference, Shawn got into a argument with one of the judges of the show because he felt his physique wasn't getting its due.....she proceeded to tell Shawn that "your physique is the same...it hasn't changed in years"..this led to Shawn saying "see?..I told you that the judges are biased against me! she's already judged me before the show has even started."
that judge was then removed from the panel..Shawn came in fourth in the Olympia but should have been third behind Ronnie and Jay from what I saw....This led Shawn to resent bodybuilding and to retire since he felt he should have been second due to Jay testing positive for diuretics which was banned at the time and he felt that Jay was supposed to be disqualified because of the ban...but Jay threatened to sue and was allowed to keep his second place placing which robbed Shawn of the second place finish and the bigger prize money

goat under 5'8, does this title take the heat off his height lol

That same judge was the judge that Kamali thanked for his pro card. And that same judge is the one that died a few yrs after the 2001 Olympia.

Perhaps if the guy was 4 inches taller and 50 pounds bigger then maybe he would stand a chance

I think Shawn Ray looked amazing as well. Definitely underrated and that's saying alot.

He could actually fit in a decent suit and look normal...speaking of which, he had a blue striped tie at the 2000 or 2001 Mr. O that I'm still trying to find the brand of...

I normally don't get into the "uncrowned" routine. But, if there's one Olympia where I believe Ray got robbed, it's 1994. NO WAY, he should have lost to a water-logged, one-armed, wide-wasted Yates.
-
When I think bodybuilder, I think Shawn Ray. Coleman and the rest are not real bodybuilders ... they have thick waists and bloated preggo bellies and many other imperfections.
-
Bam!!!! ;D
LOL thats not an accurate comparison at all
-
S. Ray is without question......one of the top 5 best bbers of all time......you won't find many people that will argue with that statement......These blokes today are just not on par with what bbing is all about.....size, shape, balance and symmetry. Shawn had all those attributes in spades!!! It is a crying shame that man never won an Olympia title......The Sandow should have been his on a few occasions.

not my favorite but one of them. very under rated and forgotten, but one of the best physiques of all time. so complete and perfect and aesthetic.

shawn is overrated
mostly competed once a year so it was easier to peak for the olympia
only won 2 shows
never should've been above 4th place in the 90's

again I believe that Shawn was robbed because that was their way of keeping him in his place....people didn't like Shawn because of his ego....
There is no way that Shawn, Levrone, nor Wheeler didn't win ANY Olympias

Not many other top bodybuilders had those lats that pretty much swept down to the waist in the FDB; Arnold and Zane being a couple others in that small group.
-
Shawn was not just a great bodybuilder, but also a very good looking man as well.

The broad was Deshay that said that during the 01 Mr. O. I was there. She was a known judge in San Antonio, TX. I was stationed there...She was a c.u.n.t. and put her foot in mouth then a couple weeks later she was dead...Shawn is easily a top 5 guy. One thing he had that others didn't was looks...He was probably the most marketable black bodybuilder ever.

No Parker, I know you love to defend him, but it was his ego that made people dislike him.
Yes, he did occaisonally speak truth, but the majority of it was just ego.
Especially when he couldnt handle his placing so hed lash out at the other competitors = ego.

No I'm not a homosexual it's pretty obvious that Shawn was very good looking. You don't have to be a homosexual to see this.

Yates getting pwned.

not many people could touch Flex Wheeler in his prime either..........This is what properly put together mass should look like. He out-muscled guys like Ray, but still kept his shape. Yates blew up like a Battle-toad!

1999 Flex all synthol and slin. He was not in his prime here.

I don't see that from that pic. Plus I said from his prime, I know he used all that shit later in his career. My point was that guys like Levrone, and Flex had mass, but also retained thier shape. Yates was huge but blocky, just like Jay is today.

That pic is from the 1999 Mr O where flex admittingly used synthol and slin. But yes, I see your point.

Shawn was a Great BBer back in the day, however like the rest of the Top Level Competition back then, The advantages Yates STILL had on the Competition (even while holding a little water retention and the Newly Torned Bicep in 1994) are More dramatic watching the DVD than seeing a bunch of Pictures.

*On his Final Countdown vid, how many times did he say "I"?
It was always him vs Somebody, and he made them to be "the Monster" and he "the slayer".

yes I agree with you on this..and I think him being good-looking along with his ego and out-spokeness is the reason he never won...Shawn would beat everyone today including the refrigerator

Lee Labrada could have been just a little taller. Being so short almost makes them look like midgets, especially with 4 x 4 heads.
