Agree 100% bigbobs has got nothing so say that can change this, Nasser was and always will be overrated
Actually, no you're wrong, I had a lot to say about that:
Lol, as though glutes are a primary bodypart that's involved in judging physiques. Nasser's abs, among other bodyparts, were the most ripped onstage. That is much more important than whether or not his *glutes* were most ripped or not. And why don't you ask why Dorian did not have any arms and the second widest waist onstage only to JP Fux?
I did not say that Nasser was judged unfairly only due to or even primarily due to race. I dont know exactly how the politics of the IFBB work, but when you see Nasser from 95 to 97 being undoubtedly the best from the front, and not too far from the best from the rear poses, yet placing 2nd to 3rd, it becomes convincing that something unfair was happening. Why did Jay Cutler win the 2007 Mr. Olympia if there are no politics or biases involved?
As for the issue of "Nasser's back", it had less detail than Yates, Wheeler, Ray, and Levrone, however it was at least as detailed as most other competitors, just not as detailed as the top 6. And in size his rear lat spread was wider than all except Dorian's by a nominal amount. The rear poses are not only a matter of back or back detail, they include your delts, arms, hamstrings, calves, V-taper, etc. In all those categories Nasser excelled, and as a result his rear poses were still among the best onstage, and coupled with his front poses which were the best ontage, you get the overall best physique onstage.
