thought you were too cool to care about bodyweights and the whole bodybuilding thing.

The only thing "cool" about him is the icy hot cooling balm his boyfriend applies to his anus.

Arnold was the best man that day.
End of story.

Zane talked about the incumbent theory, the judges saw Arnold as the champ, not as he appeared. You have to beat him, and nobody was good enough that day.
On a side note, Roger Walker was awesome, should have placed better. Tinnerino, always in shape, poor poser though. Zane, always small, I saw him train and he was tiny. Those were the days!!!
Now we have getbiggers and everyone could have taken Arnold that day!!!

I would have been a close second.

I think roger Walker looked better than most on stage that day

Even you, baby Kenneth had to admit that Arnold stole that show with help from Weider.

He didn't deserve it.

Mentzer was dialed in......

You could make the case that Mentzer, Dickerson, Zane and Arnod all deserved to win. Zane was off in size because of an injury, but so was Arnold.

Just goes by what your preference is.

I'm sorry...but except for Dickerson's calves & conditioning...the year he won was only because everyone else was way off

Dickerson was winning all the IFBB shows in 79 and 80, he does not look that good now-looking back, but he was pretty good for his time.

Back then the competition was not nerly as tough..... I so remember Don Ross competing agaonst dickerson in a show in 79, Ross got hsi clock cleaned in that show- he was from Dan Luries WBBG and those guys usually placed low in IFBB shows...

Robby wn his share of shows back then.

Poor analogy as birds don't hang their feet out of nests. -1

Arnold owned Boyer Coe! Both guys were known for their arms but Arnold easily outmassed him. Compare them from the back in this pic (Boyer is on the right). People dump on Arnold for his victory in 1980 but he was still the biggest guy onstage.
