Title: Wolf and Gunter comparison in various Olympias
Post by: Undisputed on October 01, 2007, 12:09:11 PM
This is not a bash on Wolf, I think he's a gifted bodybuilder who could easy step up...Just an observation.  The 300 hundred threads that have popped up the last 2 days about Wolf getting shafted reminds me of when Gunter got 5th at the 2002 Olympia.  Everyone posted for a week straight that he got screwed and should have won, people put up tons of pictures of how small he supposedly made Ronnie look.  He was labeled a victim of the corrupt judges that gave it to Ronnie because of politics, but Gunter fizzled out and never capitalized at the Olympia years after.......So my question is, whats different about Wolf?  His physique is obviously better than Gunters, but will he capitalize and take the next step?

I share a similar opinion but wrote it using the time frame when Ronnie dominated and Jay was getting several times in the 2º place.

Gunter's waist isn't any worse than Coleman's in that picture.  He looks a lot healthier too.

The differences are way to many to go through them all, but here's a few

1. Wolf is only 28, Gunter was in his thirties and at his prime.

2. Gunter was a veteran sense the early 90's and had reached several plateaus. Wolf continues momentum can carry him to the top with out any interruptions.

3. Gunter does not have the meso-morphic x frame of Wolf, Wolf structure is better

4. Shoulder to waist ratio is dominant on Wolf in comparison to all the Olympians today, on Gunter in his day was medicore at best.

5. Expectation on Gunter weren't there; when he placed 5th even he was surprised, Wolf expected first call out and he will be expecting the win next year.
