Funny how the crybaby losers like Coe and methzer never said anything against the judges at the athletes meeting before the contest when Bill Pearl asked them. No one challenged Arnold for a rematch with different judges either. All they did was to moan, complain and boycott. Neither Boyer nor methzer beat Dickerson or Zane either. Sore losers.

The top 3 guys in 1980 all won Olympias in other years while the ones that cried the most, namely methzer and Coe never did and it wasn't a coincidence.

With those weird genetically flawed abs, Coe was always lucky to place as well as he did.

Arnold was no where near his best in 1980 and still dominated.

Just shows how bad the lineup was in the late 70's and early 80's.

Certainly it wasn't Arnold's fault that they lost to Dickerson and Zane at this contest, that they NEVER beat Zane in their careers and that they NEVER won a single Olympia even though they competed in the easiest era to do so.
Imagine a scenario in which Arnold lost. Then Dickerson would've won and Coe and Mentzer still wouldn't have placed it the top 2. But then Arnold would've been pissed off, he would've wanted a revange and guess what would've happened the next year? They actually boycotted the next Olympia cause they weren't sure Arnold would not come for more...

CBS Sports filmed the controversial 1980 Mr. Olympia with a full crew in Sydney, Australia, but ultimately shelved the footage, which was never aired or edited. The footage is widely considered hidden rather than lost, with reports that it was never officially produced because Arnold Schwarzenegger's victory was viewed as controversial.

Could someone please post up some comparison pics of the top 10
As the contest was over 40+yrs ago many of us have completely forgotten how they all looked
& In what order they finished. 
Though I'm sure some of our Expert Experienced Judges will disagree with the placings
For one reason or another.

Is a tough question, about 50 % felt Arnold was good enough to win the show, while the other 50 % feel either Dickerson,Walker,Mentzer,Coe or even Mentzer should have won


We keep working 24/7 on releasing the damn CBS footage

So many feelings hurt in 1980. Most would be simply because Arnold was still better than everyone after they busted their arses for months. 
Roy Duval also had the cheek to comment,  here he is looking like crap next to arnold

Yeah like Roy was a front runner & was really in with a chance of winning the Olympia  ::)
Yes he had a decent physique for sure only a long way off a Mr Olympia winning physique.
