Highest placing at the Olympia was 15th, while he was probably better than a Levrone physique wise...lol

Looked phenomenal for a short while. Then caught a case of Palumboism. Abnormal genes for building muscle for sure and his facial features were like a black man/gorilla. I mean even his face was similar to Palumbo in a way, ape-like.

Link us to the pro ratings list so we can adequately judge.

In the absence of data, and from a purely subjective criteria at the contests I saw, I'd say Pavol Jablonsky.

Yes - definitely underrated. As well as a bodybuilder who should've been a pro, Jeff King.

JJ Marsh should have done better (during his era)

Phil Hill would crush him.

Just a little too smooth.

That's harsh. His glutes were peeled.

Maybe a little too smooth when compared to the best in his era, but he'd be a very decent pro if he competed now.

Aaron Baker; highest Olympia placing 9th in 1995 (punished for his stint in Vince McMahon's WBF).

Hill competed in a different era so he is not as shredded as Roland, but he was a beast and I`m sure he could get shrinkwrapped if that was his goal.

Pavol jablonicky. Maybe not underrated in terms of placings he's had a couple good show results but seems alot of people don't remember him

Yup.

He was always in shape, at least every NOC I attended.

As you said always in shape consistently over his career.

From what I remember Pavol Jablonicky was the worst poser ever, worse than Paul Dillet. Maybe I misremember but I thought that back then.

Great relaxed pose, relaxed for real, not like today's "relaxed."

I always thought Pavol and Baker got robbed in almost every contest they were in.

Thread officially closed.

Pavol is the clear winner.

I will put this into the official get big records, so the next moron who starts this thread for the 500th time will have the answer.

Could you put here some good comparison pictures and perhaps video of shows where he was robbed?

I think he placed about where he deserved but I'll be looking at some pics.

We complain about judging a lot and sometimes there are bad calls but what do we expect of a beauty pageant where things are somewhat subjective? I can't think of many competitors who were consistently and criminally poorly placed. I'm actually amazed how good the judging has been all things considered.

I am a straight male, so I don't have archived pictures of oiled up men from 2nd tier 1990s bodybuilding contests readily available.
