Bob Paris says he should have won the O in 84 and 85

[Natural_O]

Dickerson didn't come out  when he won in 82' there was no such thing as "coming out" back then ... the world was naive or wanted to be


Bob Paris was the most marketable, handsome,articulated, tall "perfect" Bodybuilder since 1950's Steve Reeves...Weider DID NOT want by any means Paris to come out of the closet .....  the golden eggs chicken was killed when he did .

Worst era to come out



WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

That first cover looks like James Demelo, not Paris.

That's non-homosexual, born-again Christian pastor James DeMelo.

You beat me to it by a minute.

good thread - yea he would been #1 in the zane era but times switched and bigger and more ripped won shows

[honest]

Labrada was a very good bodybuilder and deserved his high placings, beat Haney never happen, he looked great on his own but got lost net to haney, forget size alone, honeys shape and structure was just too much for him.

agreed

Haney had it all - size, shape, cuts, and confidence on stage too/posing.

maybe someone was a little bigger? or a little better shape but Haney had all of them - plus in BBing you need to knock out the champ, not just sorta tie/edge him out

Good for James Demelo. A Product of the late Pastor and founder of Calvary Chapel Chuck Smith.

[fredrollon]

Personally, find Haney's slow and measured posing boring.  

The way he milled his arms around ,together with his relatively weak forearm development ,made him look less powerful and heroic and more like a squid ,probing for food.

But clearly he was a freak and the combination of shape and quality in his last year has, since, not really been equalled - let alone surpassed.

Just finished listening to his sermon. Great speaker great message

[illuminati]

I think this is the first time he has come out and said this.

He had a decent physique aesthetic & well balanced.
No where near a MrO winning Physique
His Queer as a Bottle of Crisps & His Warped Mental Illness
Is Now affecting his recollection & judgement.
Needs Help.

[Griffith]

Him winning could have at least help change the direction of bodybuilding more towards aesthetics than all-out mass everywhere at all costs.

A build like his would also be a lot more popular with the mainstream public and viewers.

The same could be said for Bannout to keep winning
Or labrada / makkawy / benfatto etc.

All better than Bob.

He did have that Steve Reeves look though, he was also well-spoken and had a very marketable look for the magazines/media.

Haney...Fuckin' ugly face and physique.  I prefer Zane over that Weider asspuppet but again, Haney has the doorstops.

[NarcissisticDeity]

You could make the argument that Paris' physique is what the sport of bodybuilding should represent over Haney's in the same vain you could that Shawn should've beaten Dorian in 1994 but facts are facts judges have criteria and Haney & Yates just met them better than their competition

Between them, 14 doorstops.  I think more of Dorian's build that I do Haney's but prefer Zane, Arnold, Nubret and Paris over them.  Steve Reeves smokes 'em all but then his was his own and all those guys used. 

Haney is probably a nicer guy than Yates (who sounds like an idiot now).   Zane is an odd duck, albeit an intelligent one.  Of course none of them can compare to the physical embodiment of all things groovy and spiritual that is Kai
"The gRape-fruit fucker" Greene.  What an utter fuckwad that asspuppet is.
