Which Mr. Olympia was more controversial: The '72 or '80?

[Pollux]

ive got to agree.... its just seem cool for people to knock him,,who would u say should have won... mentzer? fuck off.....

Even if Arnold never competed in the '80 Olympia, Mike STILL would've been a fuckin' cry baby that day.

like 94 for example

even Musclemag thought dorian stole the title - they coined the term `one armed bandit` to describe dorian that year in their `muscle go round`section of the mag.

they thought the womens contest in 94 was even more of a fix..and I dont blame them -Lendy Murry was literally atrophied that year and Laura Creavalle was perfect..

No, I think he was deserving of that win (if not him than Shawn Ray for sure). I was referring to 1996 and 1997.

the most controversial Olympia was 2007

That Olympia was just ridiculous! 

But do you think it was more so than the '80 Olympia?

yes
bc Arnold deserved it less than Franco
Arnold stood amongst far superior competition

i gotta say, i went over that 80 olympia, in what i feel to be an objective manner due to that fact that i really didnt care who won...im not particularly an arnold fan.  first off, arnold definatly did not bring anything even resembling his best package that year, but that being said...no one there deserved to beat him.  there were guys there with better singuler body parts (coe, platz) and metzner might have been a little crisper...but still, no one, in my opinion was really close to him...even in his deteriorated state, arnold won because the muscles just sat on his body better, if you look at him compared to the rest of the competitors, notice the way his muscle hangs off his body...it was the most aesthetic, and pretty much the biggest.  even with the amount of water he was carrying...he still deserved it.

well, there were complete bb's there
A had no...not no...but NON EXISTENT leg development

this alone should have put him ast the bottom with Roy Duval and Waller

Katz woulkd even have beaten him if he were there

I have no 'hero' poof boy
I revel thru my own exploits
and none of whom you speak are dead

for the record
if you ever met Arnold, he'd laugh in your face

Let me help, the reason a champ wins year after year is something Zane called the incumbency theory.  For instance, Arnold won the 80 Olympia because the judges saw Arnold on stage, but in their minds he was his former self.  That is the image of Arnold they are used to seeing, huge and in shape.  It really didn't matter what he looked like, in the judges minds that was Arnold up there, the champ.  Mentzer, Coe, or anyone else up there would have had to blow (poor choice of word) the judges minds to beat Arnold, the champ.  Same thing with Ronnie, whether he was in shape or not, he was the champ.
