I agree partly. Many pros's looked pretty good when they became pro, or during their first years as a pro, but they made the classic "bigger is better" mistake. Examples are Ronnie(1998), Jay(2001), Flex(1993) and many others. Too muscle muscle on their frames made them blocky and deteriorated their conditioning.

yep...and that's why shawna ray is the best bodybuilder of all time...he knew where his limit was and was able to bring the best possible package (no homo) like 10 years in the row...maybe one or two last years his waist was a bit bigger which made him look a lot worse immediately...but 94 and 97 he should've taken the title...99 too, if ronnie weren't there

Yes!, and I also want to include Vince Taylor and Kevin Levrone to this category. Only the last 2-3 years Kev played the size game as well, but he never got a serious gut like Ronnie.
It would be cool to see those 3 fellas on a masters show

Some of those guys aren't pros, but you have guys like Dan Hill and Putnam that are

right on...the 2002 version of kev was a killer, his upper body was pretty damn near the maximum amount of mass human can carry while still looking kinda aesthetic...too bad his legs started getting worse around 99...otherwise he would've deserved the title that year but as a wheel schmoe i just can't allow someone with amateur level legs become mr olympia
