Well, you one 1 pro show out of what....72 shows?
Shawn won 3 shows out of 18...although 1 was DQ'd which was bullshit. Seems like BBr's since Shawn's DQ are not getting DQ'd eventhough they fail testing. Let's not mention Synthol...which is a banned substance in the IFBB but it's obvious that the contestants do not get DQ'd for using. Let's not forget two of those shows were Arnold Classic's & Shawn also has 2 second place finishes at the Olympia & 3 third places.
Protected? Are you delusional? I think the synthol has gotten lodged in your brain....or Insulin may have side effects like loss of brain cells.
Shawn, if anything, was shafted on his Olympia placings. He should have won (1) Olympia if not (2).
Not going to defend Shawn on this...I have no idea...but looking at his competitve career...Shawn was one it seems to take breaks bewteen shows. It's probably why he placed so well in contests he entered.
Like I said earlier....I have no idea why Shawn did what he did...but maybe he wanted to take breaks between his shows. Hell, lets look at Coleman....he used to do all the GP's up until he won the O...then he backed off with one or two of them until 2003. Then he had 3 back to back Olympia titles with no shows in between. In 2006 he lost the Olympia title & went ahead with the GP's & lost everyone. Do you that was a smart competitve career move?
I guess what I'm saying...I believe Shawn was probably taking a break between contest & working on other business opportunities.
Again....comparing you to Shawn...you're second rate & second class when it comes to bodybuilding.
I believe in 20 years...people will be still talking about how great Shawn Ray was & most people will say....
Milos "Who?" Sarcev
So Shawn won 2 shows and I won one...He got me

. Should I also mentioned that he turned pro 4 years before me?
Olympia placing is already discussed...you (and more notably Shawn) never seem to respond to my question why didn't he EVER get the courage to compete in Europe (somewhat my home turf).
Plus - would you want to predict what would have happened if I competed with Shawn in Yugoslavia...with Yugoslavian judges (or now in Serbia with Serbian judges?)...
As far as lack of brain cells - I am all up for yet another challenge - from you (or Shawn

) - intellectually...(as this time physical challenge wouldn't prove a thing...)
Up for it?
Come to my seminar - and we can do that right before or after...

As far as Shawn NOT doing the shows...taking a breaks...etc - tells you how "professional" he truly is...
As I mentioned - EVERY year after the Olympia it was European Grand Prix tour where top guy could possibly make 100K in prize money...
Shawn NEVER took the chance...
Do you wander why?

Even great Lee Haney did European show POST Olympia...and Mr. Olympia Dorian Yates also wasn't afraid to enter numerous times - and put his title on line...
Ronnie did God knows how many times...and they made great amount of prize money...just because they are CONFIDENT enough to accept the challenges...unlike our honorable

and courageous

Sugar Shawn...
And let's not even mention the true fans...
His European fans would certainly like to have the opportunity to see him compete...but AMEN...balls don't grow on the tree...(last time I checked)...
And as you believe that in 20 years people are going to talk about how great Shawn was...I highly doubt that...Few people talk about it even now...
But - in my case they will not need to talk in "past tense"...as I will still be just as good as I was...or am - every day of my life...
I am a bodybuilder by choice...and that is the biggest difference...between me and Shawn.
