IF placed properly, he should wind up between 7th and 10th place. Anything better than 7th place is a gift.

looks good there.. his front and back double bicep shows are what kills him.. if he can improve those shots he can be in the top 3 deservingly..

i dont see wolf beating kai or branch.. even though he might deserve to beat branch..   centaponi is in the mix as well and he might place ahead of wolf

WHY? He's definitely not the best in that lineup...
Also, any reason you don't have dex or freeman in the mix? Just curious.

hey...jays won it while not being the best in the line up.....whats your point? and wolf blows jay out of the water. dex and freeman too old. will round up top eight, imo.

I wasn't making one. I was asking a question of another bodybuilding fan. I'd like to see Kai take it, but not because he's the best. I wasn't arguing that the best man always wins. I was curious what you like about wolf so much. Sorry, thought that was clear when I said "just curious."

Freeman ain't no top dog here, 8th at the very best, if he is lucky.

No offence but you picking Freeman over Wolf is outrageous. Wolf has his flaws but he is a freak, cartoonish and is easily the widest man on stage, enormous delts chest and arms, has a crazy upper back, unfortunately his lower back and lat insertion fuck him over, his quad sweep is also amazing and for a big man has the smallest waist and he is a good poser, he makes every man up there look small including Ronnie, if anything he is under rated

I don't think we're disagreeing here except about Wolf vs Freeman. All bodybuilders have flaws. I just find Wolf's particularly hindering in this lineup. They're all freaks, cartoonish, wide, etc, so this being a thread of opinions, why on earth would I be offended?
I think an in-shape freeman beats an in-shape wolf. The problem seems to be that Freeman doesn't always nail his conditioning.

No chance! Freeman wont even get compared to Wolf. The pecking order is set. Its how bbing is. First callout...Heath, Kai, Branch, Wolf, Evan/Ben and Dexter. The Olymipia is a name game.

100% agreed on that. I thought we were just talking preferences though? Like there's no way Branch isn't top 5, but that hasn't stopped anyone from shitting on him in this thread. Opinions.

OK well since I read your comment about "preference" I understand where you are coming from, however I am not trying to give my opinion based on preference, I am trying to figure out where the judges would place various competitors and where some would end up if others don't come in shape. The judges would never put an in shape Wolf below Freeman. As it stands if everyone nails it, Wolf gets no less then 4th and the top guys can beat Wolf on various pose but no one beats him in the 4 quarter turns, his lines are to crisp.

more importantly how does he place so high with a lack separation in his back and very shallow cuts, very bad backo
