I believe Branch Warren is the most overhyped BB of the last 20 years.
Roelly is up there as well as Wolf.
Thoughts?
-
Wolf is not overhyped. He was good when he first started on the pro circuit.
Branch has always sucked on the pro circuit.
As for Roelly, who the heck knows. Looks like a ton of potential, but never dials it in.
-
Everyone says Branch looks like shit.
Wolf looked great in 07 and has looked increasingly terrible every year since.
Nobody even talks about Roelly.
-
Your mom was way overrated, believe me...

gunter schlierkamp and yes branch.. also to some extent porter cottrell..

Gnome Warren

Wolf hasn't changed a damn bit since he turned pro. He's just gotten worse.

but this has nothing to do with being the most overrated.. at his best he was a great bb even if this best was shown very few times..
-
Wolf does get worse

Here's an asshole who lies and says he's a physician. I don't know who's dumber, himself or the shitheads who believe him.
-
Branch is the worst by far he makes it worse by his attitude and holding his arms out and up so far in mandatorys

Coach's sons photography.

Roelly gets my vote for stupidest face on stage.
-
Of recent times? Clearly Branch.
BUT
That is the judges fault, not Branch's.
-
Dexter Jackson.
He was rated high enough to win Mr. Olympia. Maybe the best of peers at the time, but no Mr. Olympia in my eyes.
-
Someone beat me to it.
I think Dexter Jackson is always overrated. And pay attention to the word overrated - doesn't mean he's bad. In all the lineups he has been very highly rated and praised, but I think he never had an truly impressive physique. Again, it's not bad. But he was not O worthy.
I also think Freeman is pretty overrated. He's medioker and lanky.
Roelly, Wolf and all those guys are not rated high by many...
Branch is overrated by judges and commentators but no one else seems to like his physique

I think he is underrated.
The muscles sit just right on his frame, not too big, not too small. His calves are weak, I give you that.
I just think that the bodybuilding world doesn't really understand what quality means.
The fact that fans complain about Branch's physique is kind of proof of why Dexter is underrated.

It's a slippery slope... Many guys look good by themselves but size is always predominate, and I just think Dex disappears in a line up. Too small.
Not sure how he is underrated? With his career and all his placing and Mr Olympia you think he is underrated? How should he be rated?
-
Right now i think its BRANCH Warren.

I can appreciate the size thing but geez, it's not as if Dexter is small. The guy is Mr Olympia. He is obviously big enough. I think that if a guy 'disappears' in a lineup, then the judges are being wowed by size too much.
Bertil Fox was much bigger than Samir in 83, but Samir had the 'quality'.
Mentzer was bigger than Zane in 79, but Zane had the 'quality'.
etc etc
Clearly he is 'underrated' if the judges could have placed Branch Warren over Dexter in the Olympia.

Branch now looks like a ninja turtle like dexter. They both must have gotten a strong batch of turtle hgh. That midget should have never been within a thousand yards of the top ten. He should have seen it from the parking lot while he was parking the cars of the real bodybuilders.

5th vs 11th

5th vs 11th
Notice how they placed Pak right out of the top 10, so he wouldn't even be seen at the night show.

Maybe I missed something but the only body part of branches that is better is his back. Pac beat him in everything else :-\

Agreed, I think if Pac can bring his back up, he should place a lot better, his arms are a little small for a pro as well (not that I wouldn't mind my arms being that small - lol)

Back?? Maybe I need glasses but it seems like Branch doesn't have a back. His rear lat is easily the shittiest

Ben smokes Branch like a Cohiba

Brranch The Gremlin Warren!

^^
Not only is Branch the most overhyped, his body is just a collection of parts- no symmetry or pleasing shape at all...
-
I think there is a difference between being 'overrated' and simply 'winning because everyone else better either retired or got old'
Dex I don't think was overrated his physique was quite good when he was 'on'
but he won the Mr. O because Ronnie was too old, kevin shawn flex etc were retired etc.
like Franco in 81. won because Arnold wasn't around anymore.

Obama, hasn't done jack in 4 years totally overrated!!

I'm with you here dexter is always in shape and seeing his arms in person is truly inspiring. They are like huge slaps of perfect beef slapped on a tight mid section

Dex had a Great Physique and won more or less simply because Jay screwed up his Conditioning that year as he did as well in 07 real lucky to get the nod over Victor, Big Ron and the others where Long gone, Franco won the 1981 Show with a World class Upper-half and Pub-par legs having Your Best Friend as the actual Promoter that year in 1981 Helped alot too ;D ;D ;D

Couldn't agree more. Thought his wins in 06, 07 and 10 were bullshit.
