that's not what I would call a dwarfing.

Remember that pic with Willy Stalling ( sp ?) and Artwood at the florida pro ?
THAT was a dwarfing

go back to the 2002 Olympia, theres pics of Flex and Orville doing the rear lat spread next to each other. Now let me tell you, THAT is the very personification of the word dwarfing!

with all due respect to Markus he is not dwarfing Orville at all there, that is just Markus standing 2 feet closer to the camera, if you really look their muscle size appears to be almost the same bodypart for bodypart.

Not a "dwarfing", sorry. Burke was a beast.

that's too old, dude. Ruhl is still competing, and Burke will never compete again. and yes, Ruhl dwarfs a lot of pros outthere, except  Gunter and a few others

He's a little bit bigger but doesn't dwarf him. In the 04 Olympia challange round Ruhl stood in front of Dexter and eclipsed him completely. that was very funny.

Nasser, Ruhl, Fux, Art, Ronnie, Jay, Dorian, Orville, Gunter - These guys are/were all exceptionally huge human beings. Their bodyweights may differ but their sizes are actually really close. Now you stick anyone of those guys against someone like Melvin, RJ, Lee, Phil Heath etc then those people will be compleyely dominated for size. But compare them to each other and, with the possible exception of the 287lb+ Coleman, youll find that they are as big as each other.

They both look great in that pose, but neither has beastly proportions.  If anything I would give it to Orville, on both size and aesthetic counts.
Agreed.But Orvilles shoulder to waist ratio is exteme probaly the best of all time, and was not paid his dues in the IFBB.
When i heard about his health problems and his innabilty to make a comback i nearly cried he was one of my favourites,

i never thought this would come out of my mouth but Titus got screwed that year at the olympia....he was hard as nails and flex should have been dead last...Flex actually beat Orville (i believe) that year...Didn't Orville place 10th...Titus should have been in Flexes placing :-\

Titus finished 11th and yes, he did look very good. The biggest shock was Claude Groulx coming last when he could have been 8th. That was sickening, he looked spot on
