they still would NEVER have beat fux or Ian in the musclarity round because their quality far far far exceeded anything that fux/harrison ever presented.
Completely wrong! Oh, my! How can you spill out such stupidity?

Of course Fux would defeat Wheeler in muscularity, since he carried 60 lbs of muscle more! The sheer width and thickness of Fux lats would destroy Flex from the back. This is not even a discussion!

Thicker pecs, much larger quads, etc. Wheeler defeated Fux because he had a better
overrall package, which included better taper from practically every angle and every pose, less symmetrical flaws and also that Wheeler's muscular quality appeals far more from a bodybuilding standpoint than Fux's. Wheeler defeating Fux has a lot more to do with Fux's flaws than with Wheeler's strenghs.
just ask ND - he will tell you all about how flex could beat larger men and why.
He beat larger men because he was more classically proportional from head to toe than them. And also because judges preferred the quality of his muscularity, the separations and how round his muscles were. Like I've already explained to you before, things like separations, shape, etc, are not objectively evaluated by a bodybuilding judging criteria, which is only concerned with muscularity and the proportions with which this muscle is distributed. However, judges can subjectively prefer a competitor's structure, shape, striations, vascularity over another and give him the nod based on that. This is also how Shawn Ray defeated much larger guys: although they defeated him for muscularity, he compensated with superior symmetry, which, combined with the
preference of the judges for his lines, details, etc, made him win. It is noteworthy, nevertheless, that both Ray and Wheeler were defeated by bigger guys who lacked these things, which clearly points out that muscularity is overwhelmingly important. You're out of your mind if you think Wheeler ever defeated Fux for muscularity. For symmetry? Yes. Conditioning? Definitely. Did the judges prefer the
quality of his muscularity over Fux's? Undoubtedly. Was Wheeler more muscular? Most definitely not! That's like saying that Labrada defeated bigger guys because he was more muscular.
