Aside from a smaller waist, where is he eating Warren?
C'MON lift...what are the criteria a bb is supposed to be judged by and who fits that description better? |

Branch was fuller and denser. Branch is more complete. Wolf still has freaky parts. His quads look freaky cause his calves are small in comarison. Although his physique my not be as symetrical, Branch has less weak points.
Seriously your analysis sucks. Branch lacks balance AND is gross. Balance isn't entirely subjective; he doesn't have it. He is very very noticably incomplete. Wolf doesn't have any of these issues and has more upper body size to go with good balance and lines. Warren has zero flow. |

100% agree, branch isn't more complete than anyone right now, his injuries are apparent in every shot. His Front relaxed is a travesty. |

I think the preference will go into how deep into bodybuilding one is. With all due respect to Branch, he looks like a walking science experiment. He has the greater muscularity and conditioning over Dennis yes, but I don't even begin to think their 'look' even begins to compare. Dennis's overall lines are vastly superior. I think as long as our judging criteria remains the same, rewarding "he who shoved the most steroids in his azz look" the 'sport' will continue to decline IMO. I also hope Dennis does not try and meet the criteria, and end up with some bloated nasty appearance, as I think he presents an outstanding physique at present. If it was my choice, I easily had him for the win.

I hate Warren's proportions. Being bottom-heavy just looks bad. IMO a pro bodybuilders upperbody shouldnt be dwarfed by his legs, Branch and Batista are the ones who have this going on and I think it looks bad

Branch isn't bottom heavy, his upper body is huge except for his arms, his arms are lagging behind the rest of him but his chest, back, delts and traps are huge. |

Must be a nice sight at Metroflex, Warren & Ronnie now looking equally gross training side-by-side.  |

Don't forget Luke is way to smooth. Needs more thickness in his back and his legs are out of balance with his upper body. He will be a great competitor in the future, just not ready now.
The Luke?  |

Wolf looks better but Branch looks freaker, it all depends on what the people and the judges prefer for the moment.

Freakier meaning size, Wolf's better overall. Freakier meaning vascularity and legs out of proportion counts for nothing. |

"Just one black man's opinion"  If it makes him feel any better, I had DJ over Branch, but had Wolf beating them both. |

 Hahahaha monster proportion. Notice how they always post pics of Branch far away from the camera. And yes, this is a bodyBUILDING contest, not a pageant to see who has the best "lines" hahaha.

Shawn Ray's skinny ass was owned by Dorian. Ever since Doz took the title a new standard was laid down. Dorian, Ronnie, Jay... Warren! |

Branch just needs to bring his arms up, add some thickness to his back, and he'll be top 5 at the Olympia.
