Shawn was consistently better in terms of conditioning.
Flex had better shape. Flex only had a few good yrs, it was his shape and his "mystique" as. Chris Cormier called it, that carried him.

Shawn was better and much more consistent .. you need to realize that flex looked good in 93..94 ... veyond that he went apeshit with oil megadises and ruined his belly too

Flex never competed in 94, unless you count the Wrecked Mercedes Classic, where he cam in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, due to him being the only entrant.

i dont really think flex wheeler is was a legend like kevin levrone, ronnie coleman, chris cormier...

he was great but not up to their level of greatness

in my opinion

Flex had a narrow torso overpowered by his arms.

WOOOSSSHHHHHHHHH

Shawn is a skinny dwarf next to Flex, not even close.

shawn has a smaller body

but so much better proportioned

but i guess you have a point that he would get DWARFED

First Blood · « **Reply #20 on:** February 22, 2012, 08:17:39 AM »

Shawn Ray. He is among the top 5 bodybuilders of all time. Maybe top 3.

Skeletor · « **Reply #21 on:** February 22, 2012, 08:19:26 AM »

Shawn Ray.

Grape Ape · « **Reply #22 on:** February 22, 2012, 08:21:59 AM »

It says prime though. Sev's right on Ray's consistency. Flex '93 ASC was pretty much perfection though.

That was the Ninja Invitational, right ?

Sherief Shalaby · « **Reply #24 on:** February 22, 2012, 08:25:22 AM »

in 93 when they placed 2nd and 3rd at the olympia both were close to their best.. shawn was great but it was hard for him to beat an on flex.. i think shawn himself said something like "when flex was on he was the best"!!..
