The inevitable clash between Shawn Rhoden’s 2018 winning shape and Flex’s 2nd place 1993 Mr. Olympia shape.
Remember Flex is about 218 here, and Shawn Rhoden outweighs him by more than 25-30+pounds.
First up, Shawn Rhoden’s posing routine
Next is Flex’s 93 Olympia shape and conditioning.

Has there been improvement? Not to my eyes.

You'll notice 2002 as the last year Ronnie's head looked normal. From 2003 onward, it began to grow exponentially bigger. The same seems to have happened to Phil. I don't see a similar change in Rhoden despite his long term AAS use, so he possibly uses less GH than Phil.

Rhoden had taken 7 yrs off (which didn’t help his back development), so that may have something to do with it.

Not even close Flex is EONS above and beyond
-
He did?
Well, then he has my respect because these guys generally never get off the gas from their first show until their last, and often long after (Ruhl, Nasser).

Something fake Flex doesn't have

Flex Wheeler in his prime > than any SR

It’s just embarrassing how badly Flex’s physique shits all over Rhoden in that video comparison. Flex makes Rhoden look like he’s guest posing. Compared to Flex, Rhoden has almost zero detail in his arms, felts or back. Even Flex’s chest is better. Shawn’s legs/calves are the only place he has the advantage.

I dislike Flex as a person, but he looks awesome there. Hard to believe he only weighed 218.

Flex is a jackass, but his physique best beats 2018 Shawn, hands down.
Not even a contest.

Where does Rhoden carry that additional 25 pounds? Nowhere on his physique does he seem larger than Flex, including the quads.

Rhoden has more delts, traps, and quads when compared to Wheeler. And Rhoden has a heavier bone structure

None have and none will ever be better then 93 Wheeler. Cant beat perfection..

Right on not even close

93 Arnold Flex is one of the greatest physiques of all time. Flex peaked very early in his career.
-
The current crop of pros needs to improve their posing. Neither Phil or Rhoden had a good routine this year.

Flex wins easily, but I'm happy for Shawn.
Give the guy credit for ridding us the jackass Heath.

Doesn't look like it to me. Maybe the quads by a little but not by much. Certainly not by 25 pounds.
I don't how one determines the weight of a person's bone structure.

Any of the top guys from the 90s at their best could easily deserve the Sandow today. When you list off the names of that era: Flex, Nasser, Dillet, Cormier, Levrone, Ray, Munzer... it's really mind-boggling the talent of that time.
