did he ever beat dickerson? LoL

Not in the way Dickerson wanted but in 1979 Mike was first in the over 200 lb. class at the Olympia and Zane was first in the under 200 lb. class with Chris "Curious George" Dickerson coming in at 4th in the under 200 lb. class.  So yes, Mike defeated him.

But again, Dickerson didn't belong on the stage let alone the dais with any of those men.  His pointy elbows and chimpish ears were his most outstanding body parts.  It's one thing to be out-massed and another to be out-classed.

In 1980 he sucked even more.  Which probably explains his 2nd place overall.  The most undeserving Olympia winner of all time, including Franco's win in '81.  That should've been Padilla's win.  But since Padilla was rumored to have turned down donning  a Buster Brown outfit for a bunch of Schmoes at the '75 Universe soiree, he was probably consider a no-blow no-go winner against Dickerson.  It's well known that Dickerson made homosexual porno flicks.  That makes him a man-ho.  Disgusting creature without honor.

correct, dickerson was a terrible and undeserving O winner, and yet he beat mike. LoL

So...zane and dickerson both won O's and are both alive. mike continues to be the ultimate loser.

In some ways, yuppers!  More people (outside of gay porn conosewers) know of Mike Mentzer than they do Chris Dickerson.  But being dead that does little to help Mike out.  I still think he should have taken a year off and returned in 82 with a fire in his heart to win.  I think he could have but the past is in the pat.

Hindsight is 20/20 unless you've got your head shoved so far up your butt you can't see anything but shit.  I doubt Mike was a Democrat but that pretty much describes most libtards I know.

Mike had a great physique
Shame he wasn’t prepared to compete again after 1980
I highly doubt places 1-4 were a fix Though I don’t see
Mike in 5th place - The judging was a little odd to say the least
Possibly Arnold getting back on stage skewered the perception of the judges.

Mike should of took the Placing & Gone away trained hard
& competed a few more times.

Sadly instead he went into a mental breakdown caused primarily
From a non victory at a bodybuilding contest.
That doesn’t Indicate he had a sound strong mind.

The other 3 who placed ahead of him likely also thought they were
Missed judged & placed wrongly.
They didn’t have meltdowns & they all returned to compete again
At The Mr Olympia.

You want rare Mike Mentzer? 

[oldtimer1]

I guess I'm the only one here that believes his 5th place was the proper placing.

No you’re not, Though do
You see Dickerson & Coe as clearly better than mike that day

I struggle the most with Dickerson in 2nd place
Possibly because I dislike him & his awful physique

Do you have Arnold as the winner ?

He wasn’t outstanding & to light in body weight & in the legs especially
Though I think he was still the winner - only just !!

I watched the judging and evening contest through my camera lens.

After the contest I talked to several of the top bodybuilders from my gym. They supported Chris Dickerson which surprised me.

Several guys could have won that night but Arnold had the edge re posing and knowing the judges. He didn't impress standing in the

lineup and wasn't called out in the first call out which left him looking shocked and defeated. When he was called out he was his

old self and his confidence grew. He would do those quick front and back 3/4 poses which blew everyone else away. Big arms

and chest still help win contests today.

Mike looked great on his own but suffered when standing next to Arnold and the others. Several of the top guys smashed their

trophies but to this day not a single bodybuilder has ripped up his check!

Boyer had the best posing routine but didn't have the best physique there. Chris gave a performance that amazed the crowd.

Zane looked small and reddish. Posed way too long as well. Roger was lucky to make the top 6. Roy wasn't as good as he was

the year before when he won in Sydney. Dennis was in the best condition and best abs but looked awkward in some poses.

Danny Padilla was the best, pound for pound, but never compared so completely overlooked.

Cool report on what you saw. From pics Roger Walker always looked like a top contender- same with Tinerino. I always wondered why they never placed high. As for Padilla, I saw him in person in Rochester NY when he was guest posing along side Pete Grymkowski at a local show. As huge as Pete was, Danny awed everyone. He may be short but he had the most perfect physique I have ever seen. Not one thing was flawed with him- nothing!

U A contradicting yourself   , C.Dickerson was yours Mr.Olympia '80 (remember that recycled PLASTIC TROPHY   )

You are a nuisance and asshole. We had a meeting at my gym and formed an organisation. That organisation decided to send a trophy to Dickerson. He wasn’t my choice.

Thanks Vince
Clearly you have the advantage of actually being there & watching the show live.

As good as pics & videos are sometimes they just don’t convey the physique’s
As you see them when at the show.

Yes Padilla looked very good & so did Roy calendar.

I’m glad you pointed out mike looked great on his own
Just not so good when others stood next to him
As I had previously asked if this was the case & the reverse
Of Dorian as he didn’t look so imposing on his own
But put him in a line up & he was the winner.

 Roger was lucky to make the top 6. 

Only Frank Zane throw away his trophy  & U could not see that 

Roger Walker destroyed U on Mr.Paul Grahams IFBB Mr.Australia '75 (Basile was THE LAST in that contest) , ah JELOUSY

On pics and videos Padilla appears a bit soft that year,unlike 81. How did you see him conditioning wise?

 The picture contradicts a some of the words.  Mentzer looks the best in the call out,, Walker matches his back or a bit better, but head to toe Mike is the thickest most balanced competitor in the call out. In the background, Coe and Padilla both look better than Arnold standing there, Roy probably too. not seeing how, so dissagree with half of what you said.

We heard that Mentzer didn’t take his trophy. Last year they presented trophies to people not winning.
