That's the the stock in the box propoganda that's held up surprisingly well over the years, unquestioned by many. Robinson was off in '77 but while he'd been sharper in other shows both he and Callender were in as good or better shape than Zane in '78, and of course were far bigger.
It's remarkable given some of the absurd decisions over the years that the contest had any integrity left by the mid-80s. That it did was quite the accomplishment. Most on getbig still assume that the shows are entirely fair, a remarkable feat by the IFBB.
The contest is quite clearly fixed some years, akin to pro wrestling. Did not have anyone other than a white winner for most of the first two decades, excepting Oliva and Dickerson. This is not a coincidence. The Columbu wins, Schwarzenegger in 80, Zane winning all three years were standouts when it comes to bald injustice, so much so that Weider lost a large contingent of the IFBB's best BBs in the late 70s/early 80s to defection or retirement.
Video doesn't lie.

oooooohhhhh pumpster figured out the conspiracy theory and his here to preach the gospel
thanks for uncovered the Weider plot and sharing it with the masses 30 years later. both Roy and Robby were both bigger than Zane true , better conditioned? nonsense. Zane raised the bar in the 1970s for that super-ripped look a feat which few at the time could match , couple that with his outstanding posing ability and the fact that when he posed he looked much heavier than he was , Robby himself commented on this fact , he said backstage Zane looked very unassuming , small until he hit a shot and everything exploded and he appeared much larger than he really was

You claim contests are fixed then everyone of Robbie's wins in the IFBB were also fixed in his favor , you can't have it both ways and what's your excuse for when he left the IFBB and competed in NABBA and WABBA ? he won 1 show out of three and lost the other 2 , sounds like it wasn't the IFBB it seems his placings are hit or miss just like in the IFBB and you can't blame the Weiders for that , they had not ' control '
Robby did very well in the IFBB just because he couldn't pull it together for the big one don't blame whitey

Again I've posed this to you before and as usual you can't offer up a cognizant retort , as usual you offer up conspiracy theories , if it was race-based Sergio would have never beaten Arnold in 1969 , Zane would have beaten Dickerson in 82 , Haney would have never won in 84 and lost to Yates in 1991 , you cry racism whenever a white guy beats your ebony heros it's typical default position of a biased moron
