affeman i would bet money they made him the olympia cause he was white , im dead serious and im white, but jay looked like shit seriously i never did see what
they saw in him, wide waist , shitty biceps, shitty back. i never figure out how he became mr olympia with a 50 inch waist.
In fact Jay was not the biggest, he was not the hardest, and he was structurally not gifted either. All he had was that "marketable" look for the magazine covers, but regarding his physique he was pretty average in many aspects (for a Top-Pro of course).
Honestly I don't think Markus ie was a worse BB than Jay, and never placed remotely as good. In fact, Markus wiped the stage floor with Jay several times, but never beat him according to the judges. Markus was lucky to crack the finals at the AC or the Olympia, while Jay was a multiple Olympia and AC-champ.
