i agree to some extent but still if what you are saying is right markus would have been mr. olympia!!..
imo lee haney deserved all his olympia victories.. dorian deserved 3 or 4 (if we add 94),.. ronnie didn't deserve to win at least 3 times of his olympia wins.. jay didnt deserve to win in 2007 for sure!!..
yes, well, i assumed that readers would put my comment into context for what it was, not blind literal interpretation.
labrada had haney and yates beat in 1990.
i wouldve been happy either way if gaspari was awarded one victory.
Shawn Ray didnt deserve to win any. Even in his best years, there were one or two guys better than him without doubt- and thats using the "proper" judging criteria.
I never did see the attraction in Shawns blocky quads, horrible FDB (no arms and disappearing chest), and mediocre FLS. He looked great in rear double bi, and good in abs and quads, and was mostly well conditioned...and in certain poses looked like a world beater. But his weaknesses held him back. LL was definitely a better bodybuilder and from memory beat him almost every time they competed.
