If the judging was indeed fair, would Chris Dickerson be a three-time Mr Olympia champion?

1980- Olympia - IFBB, 2nd

1981- Olympia - IFBB, 2nd

1982 - Olympia - IFBB, WINNER

In 1980, Schwarzenegger came out of retirement to win in what has been viewed as controversial decision. Based on a noticeable lack of conditioning, compared to his previous competitions, allegations were made that Schwarzenegger was declared the winner based on his popularity and increasing celebrity, rather than his physique. Critics argued that the judges had been changed to those of Schwarzenegger's associates, and that Schwarzenegger himself had been a late entry into the competition.

The following year, Columbu was awarded a similarly controversial victory, which led critics to argue that the judging had lost its objective viewpoint and now awarded on reputation rather than quality of physique. (WIKI)

Key word is "deserved"..... sadly the show is based on who has the best physique thus having the title awarded to schwarzenegger.

Really?

You'd have to blame the era - where a guy like Zane crushed much bigger guys.

If you throw out politics, Dickerson might be a 3-time Olympian, which would historically make him a greater champion than Larry Scott, Columbu, Cutler, and Samir.

1980- Olympia - IFBB, Arnold S.

1981- Olympia - IFBB, Tom Platz

1982 - Olympia - IFBB, Chris D.

One seems fear enough.

dickerson > columbu

dickerson > zane in my personal opinion, but i realize that's an unpopular one.

I agree with you Zach. Dickerson despite obvious flaws (arms) built a great physique.. He's legs were phenomenal and condition was fantastic.

I gotta hand it to you Mike. I can't imagine being obsessed with something so long, and still not looking like you even do it.
After 20 years of bbing, you were finally good enough to place middle of the pack at your first show!
