No it wasn't. There was a time when Mr Olympia was judged not only by his physique, but by his day to day conduct. Dickerson's daily conduct was not exemplary of a Champion. Enough said.

I'm not talking about Dickerson but about Franco winning in 1981.

Disagree. Franco smoked them all. Also, a world class powerlifter. The others didn't come close.

There's about 4500 people who were in Columbus that night in 1981 who would disagree with you.

Back when the Olympia was televised and there were only 3 channels.  Why can't the Olympia get televised today with literally hundreds of cable channels? Why doesn't the IFBB find a better marketing team?

Don Ross wasn't a pro with the IFBB. I think he only competed in Dan Lurie's organization WBBG.

The question is how did you search for that picture?

Outed !    

I don't mind people fapping/ collecting /buying gay porn. 
But using it to expose / trash gay people is a cowardly move.

Agreed.

His muscles looked dense and solid and not blown up like most of the others, despite coming back from a severe leg injury.

Also, he had some gyno but so did Ronnie Coleman when he won several Olympias, not such a big deal.

Those others guys tear a bicep and their career is over. Franco snapped a fucking leg in half carrying a refrigerator and came back to win. No comparison.

Ummmm...Dickerson exposed himself.  He was a buttslut.  A manho.  A...Well, if you don't get it I think it's because you want to "get it".

Ummmmmmm ...... Sadly you don't get it , I could care less if Dickerson did gay porn 40 years ago( not my concern)  ... What I think is pathetic is some Getbiggers that keep such material in their hard drive and the minute there's a bodybuilding debate between Olympia winners they just throw it right there acting all disgusted .

Actually, I comprehend far more than you ever could.  I find the idea of human being selling themselves revolting.  I am no fan of Porn, regardless of the theme.

Again that's not my concern  .  But You could go to church on Sunday morning I think they give you 5 full minutes to express  what troubles you and how revolting  is for you the idea of humans selling themselves etc.  just leave the gay pics and videos at home.

You fucking typist.  You read like a morbidly obese,  caucasional, out of shape piglet for whom the term "animal attraction" means that small mammals tend to get stuck in either your gravitational pull or the layers of blubber that surround your ego.

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.


Powerlifting base made his muscles too grotesque to be pleasing. Im all for blocky powerful build but in bodybuilding there is something to be said for looking pleasing.

He actually looked powerful at least, his muscles look dense, despite coming back from a serious injury.

I remember when ESPN had bodybuilding on frequently. Even had a show with the top stars demonstrating training. In one move they got rid of all of it and replaced it with billiards pool table competitions in their former time slots. I heard it was the drug factor of the sport that pushed their hand in not wanting to be associated with it anymore.
