All well and good but Dorian did not just beat him on size alone.. muscle density,condition graininess..overall quality (Ray,when compared to Yates was very week from the rear) played a part also..a fact Mr Ray seems to overlook.

Kevin Levrone should have won in 1994, not Shawn.

With Dorian & Kevin & Flex in the way, Shawn had no where to go.

may be true but all those "great things" he is talking about is just sucking up to himself

he cant be huge like dorian so he says his physique is "perfect, not just mass"

All the complaining & whining does not change the fact that Shawn was outmuscled on stage

exactly

he should not enter open weight class if he want to be judged as light heavy weight

Shawn had the ability to be a lot larger, at least 235. But he wasn't and he didn't.
Guys his height are trying to push 240 now.

Shawn Ray was a great bodybuilder and I have even more respect for the man for taking Booty's anal virginity.

But if he got heavier, he probably would've lost the detail that made him as good as he was.

The fact that Shawn was never Mr. Olympia speaks volumes.

Yes and no

Yes Dorian deseved to win many times, no one can argue he was one of the best, but he did show up in some Olympias with torn muscle and not 100% when others came in flawless, guess we can say the same about Ronnie winning with a wonky lat.

Exactly...of Shawn would have had to go to extremes...and from what I have read, Shawn wasn't extreme on too much, which could be the reason why he is where he is now.

I actually think Shawn should have won at least one in those lineups.

Great physique, but the depth of field was just too much for him when he competed.

He lacked back detail and width when compared to others of his time.

Never wanted to play the size game either.  I think that held him back.  IMO, 10-15 more pounds would have made him much more formidable.

He should apply for a job at Fed-Ex because he tells everyone he has the perfect package

shawn ray didn't lack in any one bodypart.........he was fully developed in every bodypart.......he was 210 pounds of perfection.......yates was about 50 pounds heavier and that was the flavor of the month.......ray did place second to yates......it was a shame ray never won a sandow.......just my two cents.


that said....yates was truly a beast and a fine Mr Olympia!

In Muscle & Fitness, Bob Woolf said that Shawn Ray should've won the 1994 Mr. Olympia.

He wrote the report for the contest that year.

It is also important to remember that he was a good friend of Dorian's.

I always felt that way, but that statement cinched it for me. 8)

All politics , he remains one of the only guys that is very outspoken and his mouth got him in trouble. Shawn wasn't well liked at all. No surprise there

Does anyone have that Levrone and Dorian side lat shot that showed the difference in thickness that just blew Levrone away?

Pics that are rare like that are proof that unless we are in attendance, and only go by pictures, we do not have a full sense of size of these competitors....
