I`d rather look like Samir in 83` over anyone else.

Arnold 1971 ....Too bad there's no video or photos good enough to display the muscle separation and dryness at 250 lbs.. that year .



WoooSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Dexter is boring....I always felt a mr O should not be boring, beside his physique...(and should not be short too)

Scott, Oliva, Arnold, Zane, Bannout, Haney, Coleman were not boring....only Arnold, Haney and Coleman were not short. Oliva maybe beyond this....

Columbu, Dickerson, Yates, Cutler are questionable....Yates and Cutler were on the short side, the others were short. Yates a boring person.
Dexter, Heath were/are boring....and short

In the end,

Not boring and not too short: Arnold, Oliva, Haney, Coleman.

So the only REAL MR O's are:

Arnold
Sergio
Haney
Coleman

says Dr Dutch


Who of them is the real "50 yrs of mr O" ??



Yates is the same height as Coleman and Haney (5'11"). How is he "short"?
And he certainly wasn't questionable, at least not the first two years.

The majority of BBers would have to have OCD. If you are going to go to the gym at least every day, eat the same foods, have a shitty existence because you are bound by these requirements, yes, you are going to be boring.

HTH.

Haney was married, with two kids, his own TV show (first on ESPN, then on TBN), owned his own gym, and ran a boys' home for troubled youth. That's hardly a horrific existence.

WoooSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH



Are you sure you have the right year? Relatively speaking, he looked average at best in 1971; that might explain why Weider didn't let him compete in the 1971 NABBA Mr Universe, where Bill Pearl beat Sergio, Reg Park, Frank Zane, Dave Draper, and others.

Had Schwarzenegger competed (and lost) to a retiring Pearl, there goes Weider's marketing him as the greatest ever.

wasn't it 253 or 254? Arnold reckons that was his best but 74 he was more balanced and thicker

I mean the whole thing: Yates may have been tall enough, his mass speaks for himself, but he had the charisma of a bowl of cereal....
And Wes is right about Samir 1983: that back was unrivalled...

How long will Jay live?  His dad is something like 87.

Just a guess but I'd bet his dad wasn't using upward of 10 grams of assorted hormones a week for 2 decades...

My guess is that Yates' goal was to be a bodybuilder, not a movie star or anything else.

Why does he need "charisma"?
With that said, my bottom 8 are:

13. Dickerson
12. Zane
11. Scott
10. Columbu
  9. Bannout
  8. Oliva
  7. Jackson
  6. Cutler

Thus the top 5 are, in random order (so far), are:

Heath
Yates
Coleman
Haney
Schwarzenegger

1. He has four titles.
2. He beat two Mr. Os (Jackson, Cutler) to become the champion.

Weider didn't let all IFBB athletes(not only Arnold)to compete in a non IFBB sanctioning events in an effort to strengthen the federation and make it dominant(just as it's nowadays). Arnold looked great in 71 much improved than the year before and would have beaten Pearl just as he beat Park the previous year.

So how did Draper, Columbu, Zane, and Oliva end up competing at the Universe?

Weider let all his major stars go, except Arnold. Plus, at that time, the NABBA Universe was the top show.

Zane switched to NABBA in 1970.His last contest with IFBB was in 1969.At the time he was more of a NABBA competitor.Draper and Columpu competed in NABBA in 1970,not 71.Sergio didn't listen,competed anyway and was barred from entering the Olympia that year.Franko was banned as well but for another reason(entering an amateur show).
Arnold was the defending NABBA Champion and he looked better than the previous year.He would have won it again if he was allowed to do it.

That's why Weiders didn't want Arnold and Sergio to face Bill and Reg in NABBA.That would've solidified NABBA Universe's dominance as the prime contest.Pearl and Park were loyal to NABBA and didn't want to compete in IFBB so the only option for all these legends to face each other was at the Universe.Arnold and Sergio were inclined to do it,but then Weider intervened with the rule and banned them from entering.
