ya you either have it or you dont. well said.
agreed w enzo. great physique. to me hes what bbing is. thats a physique you could look at and go- thats a good physique. thats what bbing is, not what bbing has turned into.
i think a classic bbing category would be an awesome idea. more muscle than physique, w lines proportion and flow that looks healthy. in all reality the 'perfect' physique. i dont find physique perfect- they dont hold enough tissue. they look good for what it is- a beach body. actually there are guys competing in physique that could move to classic, but for the most part physique guys just dont hold enough tissue. i think classic bbing would be huge and i hope that kind of class is on its way. but i think on top of all things maintaining a standard for a healthy look should be important part of the criteria. having some guy up there whos purple and his hair falling out, no matter how godly his physique, just aint gonna cut it.
Classic bb is gaining popularity very fast and has it's own World Championship within the IFBB with guys competing from all over (Russia, Iran, Korea, Egypt, Europe etc) Classic Bodybuilding is very competitive with various height divisions. From the pics below you can see that the level of conditioning is high.

MPD seems to be more popular there.
