I don't believe it is fair to compare bodybuilders from different eras. Each of these fellows are great in their own time. I am thrilled that someone with more refinement like Phil Heath has won Mr. Olympia. Maybe the mass monster look is becoming passé.

actually 97 nasser was pretty soft. 97 had horrible lighting and a shitty over powering background. I hated 97 everybody looked shitty for some reason

Not a chance, Phil has much better conditioning. Once they turned around it would be over.

Nasser has no symmetry, he cant even keep his eyes straight

mr. olympia 97 was not at all nasser's best!!.. not even close to it.. he was clearly better in many others shows like NOC 95, huston 95, olympia 95, olympia 96, AC 97 and more!!..

just because he got second in 97 doesn't mean he was better than he was in 96 win he theoretically got 3rd.

Because of Phil's narrow structure he looks great in his solo pictures. The 2011 and most recent Olympia pics also have much better lighting than many of the older shows, like Nirvana said the 97 Olympia pics have one of the worst lightings ever.

Also agreed on the above 97 was not Nasser's best; he was better in 95-96 Olympia, NOC and Grand Prix shows or even 97/98/99 Arnold Classic and 98 Olympia.

On the same stage with same lighting if you put a prime Nasser next to 2011 Phil Heath he (Phil) would not look so impressive anymore and would not be able to compete with the sheer amount of conditioned size of Huge Nasser

bigbobs · « **Reply #67 on:** September 20, 2011, 09:41:38 AM »

Something else to consider - you can put together solo pics of 2011 Heath vs. Dorian or Ronnie or anyone in poorer lighting and would give the same illusion.

Nasser got beaten by a much lighter Flex in the 97 and 98 Arnold Classic. PH would beat Nasser for the same reason Flex did - from the front Nasser would dominate maybe the FLS and Abs n thighs. But as soon as they turn to the side and back poses, PH beats him hands down. No contest.

Overall, Phil in his best shape beats a prime Nasser.

easily

Nasser got beat by a TWO-HUNDRED-AND-FIVE-POUND Shawn Ray , his advantage in size means squat

Wheeler is much more aesthetic than Heath. Bad comparison.

So you think Heath would beat Nasser with ease yet Dorian would beat Heath with ease, even though Nasser and Dorain were pretty close in contest placings during Dorian's last three years?

It's not just about the structure, which doesn't really work against Phil much anyway. There's still the problem of the side and back poses where Phil beats Nasser handily. Overall, it's no contest.

yes he won, but then some schmoes robbed the trophy from him and gave to the one armed man
