He went up to 216 one year, couldn't get hard and his placing dropped. You are saying a 212 bodybuilder should have won the open class, right? i watched shawn as a kid, even visited bulldog gym in fullerton, but no way in hell he should have won 1 olympia. plenty of bigger guys in his era who looked just as good.
That is precisely why Shawn never won. He could not play the size game like the others did and maintain condition.
