People seem to enjoy ripping on Shawn. I have always liked the guy.
As a bodybuilder, his is one of my top-10 physiques of all time. Incredible. Sometimes his quads could be slightly "square", but this is nitpicking to the extreme.
I read a comment somewhere that Ray's wheels could have been his "crazy bodypart" (ala Platz) if he wasn't concerned with proportion, etc. I agree. And like Tom, Shawn was a natural squatter. He just never went bananas like The Golden Eagle.
Ray was born out of time, no question. He is an uncrowned Mr. Olympia.
