Author Topic: Franco or Dickerson ? (Read 10311 times)

The most booed Mr.O ever has been 1981 ( at least we can all agree on this one ) 1980 was the most controversial discussed to this day but most people still has Arnold as the winner there .

People trash Franco as how horrible he was in 81' and didn't deserve to even be top 4 …

Now, 1982 while called the poorest line up ever ( that's not Dickerson's fault) and Dickerson is known for classic lines for aesthetic ,balanced and attainable if you will …

So I have to ask :
Who would you choose as the best BB between Franco 81 and Dickerson 82

WoooSHHHHHHHH STAY GOLDEN BITCHES

Franco.

I'm going with Dickerson. Franco had bitch tits and terrible legs because of the refrigerator accident in the World's Strongest Man contest a few years earlier. Either way it's deciding between a douchebag and a shit sandwich.

Franco was the worse of the two. Those bitch tits were the stuff of legend for many years, and he looks like a hodgepodge of parts.

Dickerson was just boring with pointy elbows.

Hard to say. Franco still had a great upper body in '81. He never had the best arms but they were okay, and his shoulders and torso were very good. His thighs looked like sausages, and there's no way in hell he should have won; still, Dicksuckerson "won" with the shittiest arms of any Olympia winner, a pathetic chest,was narrow as a broom handle and, while he did have good conditioning, nicely separated quads and great calves, he was easily THE worst Olympia winner. If Viator could pose to save his life, he should've won. Samir was very close. They should have been the top two, with Zane in third.

Samir dialed it in in '83.

From those pics, Dickerson, easily. Better condition and a more complete bodybuilder.

I thought Dickerson looked really good in his win.

Franco was a charity case.

Both received a gift with those wins. By the way, the word "gift" in German means "poison". Those gifts forever poisoned the Olympia.

Franco in 74 and 75 was amazing. No one can deny. Top of the food chain.

Dickerson competed for a crazy length of time. For three years he came in the the top 2 of every pro contest he entered. His physique in pictures didn't always tell the story. He had density like he was carved from ice. I know there is a lot of prejudice because he is a homosexual. He should have won two or three Olympias. He came in second to Arnold in 1980 and he deserved it. When he won the Olympia despite any faults he won hands down. Best density, best definition and best symmetry.

What a choice to make. Between hammered shit and pounded piss.

Nope. Sorry. They both suck (Dick, literally).

Bitch tit and no legs beats a flaming queer who did things on video that makes Kai Green look like a choir boy. Franco wins

Dickerson and Ken Sprague on video pounding each others piss pumps. Ghey....

Tom Platz and Padilla for the win.

Most ridiculous decisions are 1981 then 2007. Arnold won easy in 1980 once you watch the video. Mentzer wasn't in the same league structure wise.

There's Dickerson, disrespecting The Sandow Trophy

TheShape. · « **Reply #17 on:** May 12, 2019, 08:28:50 AM »

Franco between the two of them but I preferred Danny Padilla and Tom Platz for those years. Way more deserving.

The question was Franco 81.

That's Franco 76'

Tough to chose from those 2 pics alone right ?.

Btw More than one MrO has done gay shit. The fact that Dickersom was open about it makes it more honest .

I don't think Dickerson deserves less respect than Kai. Dickersom is a a gentleman ..... Kai is a clown being homo is irrelevant. Specially in bodybuilding for crying out loud.

What you do in private, and keep private, is quite different from how you present yourself publicly. There seems to be a trend where everyone feels it's incumbent upon themselves to present anomaly, eccentricity, and even perversion.

There used to be a term saying not to air your dirty laundry.

I don't need to hear everybody's unsolicited honesty.

Dickerson is fucking disgusting and should be stripped of his title and beaten by a small crowd of people wielding sticks

Franco gets a lot of shit of this board. Mostly from the young people. But those that remember him in his prime he was incredible. A solid number two to Arnold in the IFBB.

CORRECTOMUNDO!!

Aside from the `81 Mr. O,Franco was a fucking thick,ripped,monster most of the time.
