Not as consistent as Levrone or as good, but certainly the freakiest to never win a Mr. O

I'd say:

1/2) Nubret also or Labrada (for balance, proportion and symmetry).

3)Flex '93, too bad he could never replicate it and had to face a top-form Yates.

4/5)Levrone and Shawn Ray.

5) Padilla '81

Levrone

Agreed, although you can also throw in Mike Francois at his peak. Shawn Ray would make the cut if he wasn't so short, with his poor rear lat spread and blocky quads.
