Author Topic: Least dominant Mr. Olympia ever? (Read 13855 times)

I knew someone would say Scott just to be different but that is way off the mark. Scott was very dominant as the opposition at the time was relatively poor due to the low status of the contest for the first few years. But what's more, Larry Scott in the 60s had a truly fantastic physique and was a handful for anyone.

I think Columbo in 81 is a fair assessment of a guy who should not have won and showed a pretty poor physique. Danny Padilla should have had that show, with Platz and Roy Callender close behind. To be fair though, any of those 3 winning would have made sense. That has to be an example of a contest being fixed.

Yates was known as the Columbu of the 90s.

Scott was dominant in the mid-60s, the first guy I saw with real size.

Platz had it in 1981.

Dickerson , Platz and Padilla all looked a hell of a lot better than Columbo .

You got it partially right; Callender was also right there, with better overall balance than Platz or Dickerson.

Here we go again with the anti Dorian crap. Give it a rest man, we are able to discuss other things and what's more you don't believe that statement you just want another argument to spice up your drab existence.

lol! I wasn't referring to his excellent 1983 physique. If I was I would gladly accept you calling me a dumbass lol.

Samir's physique in 1983 was the yardstick of proportion, symmetry, and aesthetics!!

But after 1983 Samir became a King Kamali type. He touted a victory in 1984 and a lifetime best showing only to end up sixth.

"Only" 6th is something a lot of guys wish they had achieved. It's as much of a pipe dream for Kamali as is getting a productive life for Pumpster.

Opinions from low life gutter scum like you account for little. Anyway, you didn't proffer an opinion you made an unfounded statement about what Dorian was known as - anyone ever heard that before? Do the world and your family a service and go and play in the traffic. In fact, take them with you.

The sport went a different direction when Haney won size took precedence , but Samir was on the tail end of the size doesn't matter trend and he did continue to compete and he actually won a show in 1990 !!

My point is that not that sixth is a meaningless rank, but sixth is indeed meaningless when you tout yourself as the dominant champion.

At the time of the 1984 Olympia you were just a few short months passed your retirement age (55). A retired school teacher I take it? Yes, when I don't have all the facts I do the next best thing - make shit up.

Please continue to do so. You have a very creative mind. You're closer than you think by the way.

My guess is that as a high school teacher you fraternized a lot, e.g., took heaping dumps on the stomachs of your female students and had them squeeze your head between their thighs until you turned beet red.

This kind of thing was part of the school curriculum at the time so I was duty bound.

Yes, you know full well that I did. In fact I knew a very strange group of gentlemen who enjoyed all manner of perversion. Ladies under 5'2 were very often involved.

I have a 3 way tie.. and 3 diffrent reasons why each are the worst

Dickerson- Had the worst Mr. O physique
Samir- Was a one shot wonder
Franco- won cause he was Arnolds dickboy

I'm with you on Dickerson & Franco because they were definately not Mr. Olympia caliber. Samir though is a different story. His problem was that he could not nail his conditioning again. His physique though was incredible. No real weak points besides his hamstrings and awesome shape. Samir definately deserve to win the O when he did and I also felt he should have placed a bit higher in a few other shows.

Who would you vote for? Chris Dickerson is at the top of this list in my mind. Any others?

Least dominant Mr.Olympia ever is Coleman: only Mr.Olympia, ever, to be defeated at a minor show while being the standard-bearer.

Yes definetly. I agree. 8 time consecutive mr olympia certainly qualifies him for the title over one hit wonders like dickerson and bannout.

Like Shawn Perine said , 1981 Mr Olympia was more controversial than 1980 and I agree .

Yeah, zero legs and bitch tits. Fuck, how can you win with two HUGE flaws.
