I meant in Head to Head Competition, Lee and I "ONSTAGE" were RARELY compared I think maybe Twice. Which is why I referred to Comparison I Guess.
Lee and I in Head to Head competition, never place one after the other.
I believe there were always at least a few people separating us regarding final placements which is why it is hard to draw close comparisions.
Now Lee Labrada Comparisions were more on point since we battled alot.
He was older and more established than I when I hit the Pro Scene, as my Muscle Maturity had to catch up with how much time he had invested in Pro BBing over me.
Eventually I caught him at the ripe old age of 27 in 93 ;D

How about you & Rich Gaspari?

I think they are actually pretty close.  Great pics Hulkster.  Lee does have superior arms.  Shawn has good arms but a better chest.

Lee has the best arms in bodybuilding... ever. Too bad you can't see 'em well through all the tattoos. Shawn's proportion was as close to perfect as I have ever seen. Freaky parts or proportion? I dunno... and I'm not crazy about either one of 'em anymore after reading what they post. I'm leaning towards Lee.

I will try to be objective on this, as I am a big Priest fan and can't stand Shawn as a person.  BB wise though he was badass.  Head to toe, here goes.....

Hair-  Lee still has it, edge to Mr. Priest ;)
Shoulders-  Lee
Chest- Shawn by a long shot
Biceps-  Lee by a mile
Triceps- Ditto
Forearms- See biceps and triceps
Back-  Complete domination by Shawno
Leg shape, sweep, and mass- Mr. Priest
Leg conditioning- Shawn kills, but Lee is making progress sans the
                         KFC bulking plan
Calves- Lee

Overall- ohhhh this is killing me........Lee wins 5-3, but Shawn is the true victor based on killing Lee from behind, for overall conditioning, and for presentation.  Lee's superman getup is starting to balance the annual Jennifer Holiday pose fest by Shawn, but it ain't there yet.  Lee has more contests though, and he never failed to study for the drug test.  *ahem*


There you go shawn, admit hater, and you get the prize

thats near perfect symetry and balance!

And to think he was 42 years old there. That was like 1 week out from the 1990 NOC. It would have been cool to see Danny, Lee and Shawn compete together. Danny thinks very highly of Lee as a bodybuilder.

I go for Danny on pure symetry and balance, Lee on "shock" factor but Shawn has it on consistent conditioning where Danny and Lee were hit or miss.

Sorry to bring Danny into this comparison but hey... three great physiques.
and keep moving!

You guys forgot the main criteria:

Mounting fitness chicks - Lee

Mounting trannies - Shawn

I would have to call a push for the overall.

 ;D

Forgive me MattC, i am still becoming acclimated to posting here and sometimes forget what really matters.  I did destroy Adonis on my true first day of posting here though, so that has to count for something no?

How can you destroy a total wreck? Dont waste your time on him,you will own him overn and over and he will come back for more.


Anyway,Shawn owns him,no question.
The two competed many times and Shawn NEVER lost to him,or placed anywhere close to Lee.

Based on records, and placings, Shawn has had a better career....

Shawn's Record

1997 Olympia - IFBB, 3rd
1998 Olympia - IFBB, 5th
1999 Olympia - IFBB, 5th
2000 Olympia - IFBB, 4th

Lee's record

1997 Olympia - IFBB, 6th
1998 Olympia - IFBB, 7th
1999 Olympia - IFBB, 8th
2000 Olympia - IFBB, 6th


BOTH great champs but the record speaks volumes in favor of Shawn.

Are you serious? That isn't even a comparison. Shawn Ray destroys Lee in every way possible.
