No one can argue, this was the sickest physique on that stage that evening. And top 5 posing routine of all times!

The entire audience wanted Gunter to win, not Levrone.

Gunter looked phenomenal that night as well. But I'd give it to the levrone.

Levrone's lower body was simply too far gone at that point.

I think he looked pretty awesome. It's sad that mass wins shows

Dwarfing Ronnie:

Gunther actually won the 2002 Show of Strength. Ronnie got 2nd, Cormier 3rd.

Massive.

Chris looked damn good too. Chest is exactly structured like mine. His is 10x better though obviously.

Gunter was a victim of his own hype. After he won the fans' hearts and the SOS in 2002 the magazines billed him as being Ronnie's biggest threat, but he never was able to bring the same package as in 2002. By 2005 he was pretty much finished.

But he was white and had a nice smile.

you should take your goggles off

gunter, cormier, and ronnie smoked levrone that night. and sent him into retirement

Nether Animal · « **Reply #11 on:** November 25, 2016, 05:27:57 PM »

Levrone looked much better in '01. I really liked the package he brought that year

This. Gunther smoked everyone and deserved the title. Regardless of him being white or not. The audience spoke and he was the champ in that Arena!

If gunter didn't have a blocky waist he would've been one of the greatest ever

Was thinking the same thing. He's a big dude but his waist, at least in that photo posted above, makes him look less complete than Ronnie or Cormier. His muscle shape too - chest is a bit lacking compared to those other two. Not saying he looked bad at all, just, not quite as refined as the others to me.
