He was in great shape that year, maybe not quite as good as '94 but close.
-
Shawn was a pretty complete bber
-
A bodybuilder with fully developed back detail and conditioning? That's a rare sight these days.
-
i honestly think that was the best he ever looked
-
my fav bber for the longest time
-
there is an oblique picture of him and his stomach looks like the bottom of an insect :o

He was consistently in great shape from his first Mr. Olympia until his last. Should have won it in 1994.
-
He always looked great, though much better when by himself.
-
I hate to restart this debate but best to never win an Olympia? I think so with Wheeler second.

Exactly.
Standing/posing on stage by himself... he was amazing. Great conditioning.
-
One of the very best ever bodybuilders !!

I do not think Shawn Ray was the type of bodybuilder to only look good when standing alone.
Due to hiis superior conditioning and shape and symmetry, he definitely held his own when standing next to others.

Shawn beat them guys when they were off , Shawn never came close when they were on the money and if I recall correctly Shawn never beat Flex

U are correct about flex
But he still beat them, Cormier has never beat him
Imo aside from height, and "mass" he's pretty complete from head to toe
All those other guys mentioned had more weaknesses than Shawn
I've always said Cormier was a bit underrated, he was complete with mass also, maybe no stand out body parts but very balanced

should've never beaten them but so what? lee priest and mike francois beat some of them too does that make them better?
he competed once a year, the other guys competed all year throughout the 90's, easy to peak when you only do one show
i like shawn more than labrada, yes he was small and stumpy

shawn beat flex at the 95 and 96 olympia, chris beat shawn at the 99 O
lack of height and mass are huge glaring flaws if you ask me, extremely glaring when he stands next to those guys

He has beaten them, so on that day, yes, Shawn, priest, and Francois were the better bbers
-
Even if Shawn only competed once per year, everyone had their opportunity to beat him at the biggest show of the year, the Mr. O and few did. I don't like that Phil competes only one per year but everyone has a chance to beat him at the O and no has done it yet since he became Mr. O.

Didn't Shawn beat Flex at the 1996 Mr. Olympia?
-

i know he beat them before, point is he is not the best bodybuilder to not be Mr. Olympia, not even close

That is not true. Shawn wore a hair piece at the 1995 Arnold Classic. It looked good, but the high def camera picked up the line where the unit met his real hair.
