Who says it proves anything? It's an article , take what you want from it.

An article just to keep the "controversy" going. Fact is they were all salty losers. Pearl, Walker, Coe, Zane and especially old meth head.

    Funny how they all say Arnold should not have won but none of them can tell you should have won!  ( well Mentzer did but he always said himself. lol. I remember at 16 years old and i was working out at a gym in Toledo Ohio and one day my training partner said he just heard that Arnold had won.  I was excited to see the pictures ( always about 3 months or so after the shows the magazines had pics) And when I got the magazine I remember seeing Arnold and I thought to myself about how bad he looked.  BUT then I seen him with the others and said oh ok he won.  The reason I felt bad was because I expected him to look like ARNOLD.  He of course didn't. BUT he was still better than everyone else but not by a whole lot like he used to be. Even he admitted it. So case closed. Arnold didn't look like Arnold but he didn't have to. He just had to be better than everyone else which he was. The contest was close but he still deserved to win

The good old days when we used to wait months to see contest pics and results.

I was wondering if you remember the name of the gym in Toledo you worked out at by chance?

That is exactly why 1980 was,is and will be the most controversial BB contest in history.

Sure people will often say 1981 was worse ... saying either Platz or Padilla should have won it.
or in 2007 V. Martinez was the uncrowned mrO , or Shawn Ray 96' ,Sergio 72' or Nasser 97' ....etc

But when you ask who is the uncrowned 1980 mrO ?

better get your soda and pop corn ready

There is no uncrowned 1980 Mr olympia. There was only Arnold. He beat them all as he WAS the best that day. The losers like Coe and Zane can cry foul as much as they want but the fact is they could not beat an 80% Arnold. 😆

But Zane did beat Arnold once...

Bloated fake drug muscles, serious bidness!!

Only when Arnold wasn't prepared. He wasn't as ripped and did not have a tan in his first encounter with Zane. Arnold learned from his mistakes and went on to beat Zane numerous times. Zane is just another salty loser. Apparently he was heard crying in his room after the contest. So much for the Zen master. 😆

Hahaha! Excellent point! He threw a temper tantrum and broke his trophy. Now, 40 odd years later he says he accidentally knocked it over and it broke accidentally.

Dickerson should have won in 1980 and 81
but not in 82.
Its density, proportions and dryness were ahead of all.

No way they put someone that short over Arnold.

Dickerson, too short, too small, weird droopy chest, no biceps. Seriously, how was he ever going to dominate over a superior like Arnold?

[bigbychoices]

 I remember seeing the mags and wondering how the hell dickerson was winning any shows. No symmetry no proportions and so small. Period. That was before I learned he was a fag. Then it made sense.

At the time , All seven judges said Chris had the best legs/calves in the top six....  Platz wasn't even in the conversation back then



WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
