My vote: Lee haney.

No way, Haney is the last Mr. O to actually have shape and small waist while being a mass monster in his time. I'd say Dorian.

Larry Scott or maybe Chris Dickerson - he had poor arm development, pointy elbows and a horible torn pec - the guy was all over the place

Larry Scott

It really depends on what they looked like in their respective era. Obviously guys like Scott, who would have a tough time winning a regional or local show now days, were way a head of the curve during their reigns. For many of Dorians wins, I thought their were others such as Ray that should've have beaten him once or twice. Dorian was questionable in many of his wins with the exception of maybe '93 and '97. Even in '93 though Ray and Wheeler looked incredible.

Yes i hate the way he wore a mac and solved murders before hitting a most muscular. Oh wait, you must mean Columbu?

You think 97 was not questionable and 95 was? wtf

Yea, the '97 version of Dorian was really the only one that impressed me. In '93, I liked Flex's look better - awesome shape and symmetry combined with great aesthetics -- all of which dorian didn't include with his package. I felt like Dorian could have been beaten most of the years he was winning but that's because I'm not a fan of his look.

granted he blew hi sbi's and tri's a few weeks before the show, lol, which were always shitty anyway on him, this was the first Olympia I actually gained respect for him for the package he brought.

I'd say Columbu

nukkaready · « **Reply #17 on:** October 04, 2009, 12:49:24 PM »

its gotta be Chris Dickerson... I mean Colombo's win in '76 was fair and square. Larry Scott looked good given the time period he competed in.

Columbu - sausage legs

Zane, Columbu, Haney hands down...

Haney - especially for an 8 time Mr. O (wouldn't win his class at the Nationals today)
