The '72 Olympia in Essen, Germany.  No way Sergio should have lost to Arnold that year!

looked pretty close.
just push some weight!

I'd have to go with 1980.  With Arnold's win over Mentzer.  Allot of "Fixed" was herd after the winner was announced and even Mike said it was fixed.  Ronnie's 02' wasn't without controversy either.  Any others?



lol  oh boy, Mike was small. About as big as a local show 3rd place winner these days.  Not only that, didn't Mike get 5th or something that year?

arnold obviously did more wide grip curls than sergio. sergio's arms look a little bit bigger but arnold's look better, arnold's legs though a little smaller have more definition. abs, forget about it... arnold posed better, had better calves, better conditioning, more detail in back double bicep... arnold was better.

I agree Menzter won the 1980 Olympia and 81 when Columbo was given the title was just as bad...
