It's a tossup, more a matter of personal taste.

Problem is there are very few shots in circulation of Sergio in his best shape in '72, so Arnold has a huge edge in perception given the number of widely available pics of him. Big advantage.

IMO Sergio in '72 was Arnold's motivation or fear for getting in his best shape in '73-'74. He expected Sergio to compete those years, particularly following the Mr. International situation.

Another thing that gave Arnold a different look than alot of the current pro's is his height. Arnold is 6'2".

The "Golden 3" in the shape they were in.... in order....

1) Arnold '74 Olympia

2) Sergio Oliva '72 Olympia (should've beaten Arnold)

3) Flex Wheeler '93 Arnold Classic

'nuff said  ;D

ronnie at his pre-gut best belongs in the top few as well. He would rank much much higher than that overrated Dorian yates. :)

not bad, not bad at all.

By the way, as far as upper body only shot goes, the front double biceps shot that Gustavo has is much more pleasing than Jays or Ronnies. Check out the pics !!!

Sergio's best shape was equivalent to Arnold, it's just a matter of preference.

Sergio's best '72 shape wasn't the day of the Olympia.

Arnold's '73 shape was equal to '74.

Nubret takes most pleasing-i didn't say his legs balanced perfectly, though they were solid.

Sergio's '72 peak wasn't the day of the Olympia.

Arnold's '73 shape was equal to '74.

Sergio's shape was a match to Arnie-matter of preference-but Arie's conditioning was light years ahead of Sergio's..........

If Sergio could hang with a diet for a month or two it might have been a different story at the 72 O.

Arnold and Sergio were BOTH magnificent. No need to put one down simply to praise the other.

How strange that possiby the best two bodybuilders ever competed in the same era.

It all depends on what you like.

Sergio looks more like a freak. But i feel his huge arms overpower the rest of his body.
Arnold's physique looks more pleasing to me, and more balanced. He's taller too, so i'd pick him.
His only "weakness" were his lower abs.
Perhaps Olivia had more potential, but from what i've seen its Arnold. Todays bbers quads overpower everything else if you ask me.
