So these days bodybuilding is judged on mass and cuts alone and back then it was shape alone? Yet Gaspari beat Labrada back then so I'm not so sure about the consistency of the judging.
Labrada was 176 pounds at that show. Pretty or not, that is way too small. Not to mention he was only 5'6. "The perfect body" as Labrada so modestly put it 
has HEIGHT as well. At the bare minimum 5'8 for a contest of this caliber. Also, Labrada had no business beating this man:

in my opinion height should be one of the secondary things that is looked at. Labrada had everything that the criteria asked him to have: size, shape, posing..you name it he had it are you honestly gonna tell me that he should never have been in an olympia becuase he was short? Christian was one of my favs but lets face facts he had no calves and his legs were sub-par. If you took a shot of both Lee and Mike from the waist down and put them side by side who do you think would win? Front to back Labrada crushed him-in the legs department. Lee's upper body was awsome as well, he had better abs and intercostials than mike did. I don't see how you can honestly say that Labrada had no business beating him. I can see a top form Mike going at it with Lee and beating him or vice versa but no way can anyone say Lee had no business beating mike.
