Shawn 8)
Shawn is better, but we have seen the best of Shawn.  Let give Phil couple of years and see what he turns to be

A Legend To New Blood......


Yeah, we'll see. Everyone was talking about Richard Jones as the second coming of Shawn Ray and he disappeared into thin air. And he was better, and had more potential, than Heath.

Did Richard Jones win any shows? Phil has a lot of time to mature. He wont disapear. He can only get better.

shawn was awesome but never won a sandow...for whatever reasons....so

compare heath to the people he has to beat now, to be number 1

that being said...Victor Martinez will be the next Mr O

Im pulling for Branch. He is my pick to win the O sometime in the next three years.

He will never win another show except small ones.  Never a big show in his future.

I disagree, He is still young, imagine how much mass he could put on in 3-4 years.

Define a "big show" and regardless of that - how much would you like to bet on this?

The biggest thing against Richard Jones winning a pro contest is the fact that Richard Jones is smart enough to know that Richard Jones juicing for a chance at a 10k purse (or whatever miniscule amount they're giving) is not worth it.

He might be genetically blessed with potential physique wise but the fact he's a smart guy is way more important and he could make money a whole easier without any risk to his health elsewhere.

Bump for common sense..... did anyone else notice that when he announced he was stepping away from BB that Shawn Ray was ridiculing him and calling him a punk ...class act he is.. that one, the little guy i mean.

A Legend To New Blood......


Honestly there is no comparison...yet.  Phil is absolutely amazing and I expect him to be the next great thing to hit bb.  That being said Shawn Ray was an absoultely amazing bb but Shawn is also a legend in the sport.  He has solidified his name for being a warrior on and off the stage and that is what sets them apart.  Just like Arnold can be declared the greatest because of both his career and what he gave back to his sport.  Plus if you stood Shawn on the stage next to a Phil still being a rookie, Phil would probably lose.  Shawn has 13+ years of development compared to Phil 4 years. But the excitement about Phil is what he will become in the future. Phil came this far in 4 years so think about what he can do in 2007.  He will be practically unbeatable in 2-3 years mark my words.  Much like a Flex Wheeler but without all the insecurities and the illness that plagued Flex his whole career and held him back.

Title: Re: Gotta Compare These Two Guys......
Post by: natural al on August 30, 2006, 06:07:57 AM
well, Phil had a better rookie year than shawn did, that's for sure.  Shawn got 4th at his pro debut, the 88 NOC, behind Phil Hill, Robbie Robinson and Bob Paris then went on to place very low at the O...well low for all the hype shawn was getting.

too bad Phil Hill fizzled out, I would have loved to see those 2 go at it for years.....could have been a war.
Title: Re: Gotta Compare These Two Guys......

Title: Re: Gotta Compare These Two Guys......
Post by: Shawn Ray on August 30, 2006, 01:08:58 PM
Phil will WIN the Arnold next year, PERIOD!
Are there many shows Bigger than that or did I miss something?
As for Richard Jones, we were and still are friends. :-*
I helped the dude, guided him, fed him, drove him to the gym, trained with him and gave him Advices'.
Dont start making up stuff, he and I are cool, always have been, his best move was to move on and out of BBing as there is more to life and he understood that.
Now, if you wanna talk about Tamali's stellar career since calling me out, we can have some fun! ;D

The comparison was inevitable as they are similar (Ray & Heath) in many ways.

But Shawn, so what you're saying is that Phil IS going to whoop your boy Dexter's ass?

Phil's got stupid potential. But i hope he doesn't try to juice his way to #1 at the O. Pace yourself Phil, pace yourself.
Title: Re: Gotta Compare These Two Guys......
Post by: Shawn Ray on August 30, 2006, 01:21:44 PM
Phil will handle his business they way he always has.
A surprise to no one.
Peace.

Do you think he can beat Dexter?
Title: Re: Gotta Compare These Two Guys......
Post by: Shawn Ray on August 30, 2006, 01:29:47 PM
Yes, if Dexter thinks it will be easy, we will see.
I think these two match up great and would love to see them square off.
Phil may bring out the best in Dexter and vice versa, good thing I'm not a Judge!
Title: Re: Gotta Compare These Two Guys......
Post by: jaejonna on August 30, 2006, 01:30:51 PM
Phil needs to bring his chest and back up to compete with the BIG boys...bottom line, hopefully thats what he is doing now..

Naw, I beg to differ. I don't think Phil can beat Dexter. Dexter is just too complete to hand over his AS crown and pay check just because Heath had a good debut.

Phil needs a better chest and back.

Dexter needs a bit more quad separation. they tend to smooth out near the hips.


$100K can bring out the best in anybody!
Title: Re: Gotta Compare These Two Guys......
Post by: JaggyShortBuff on August 30, 2006, 01:42:00 PM
Heath doesn't have what it takes yet to beat Dex...The condition Dex comes in alone will beat the current Heath...
Title: Re: Gotta Compare These Two Guys......
Post by: DragonsBreath on August 30, 2006, 01:51:23 PM
Shawn, are you helping Heath prepare at all? And did you ever help Dexter at all in his career?
Title: Re: Gotta Compare These Two Guys......
Post by: Special Ed on August 30, 2006, 02:05:35 PM
I think Phil Heath vs. Melvin Anthony is more interesting.

Phil has great arms v. Melvin has good arms
Both have mediocre chest
Melvin has great back v. Phil has weak back
Both have great quads
Heath can nail conditioning w/ripped glutes v. Melvin has not shown that.
Melvin is a bit wider than Phil with a smaller waist for a better taper.

These two in a contest would be interesting.

Phil doesn't have a weak back at all and kills Melvin on conditioning.

I agree. Dexter is just too much for Heath.

For now. Dex has a much larger torso and conditioning is also a strong point for him.

Pretty impressive. You change his diapers too?

Richard is very grateful for all of your "Advices'" and guidance but I am also pretty sure he knows a thing or two about life and BB as well.  Do no make it sound like Richard would be nothing without you.

The A will be subjective as all the shows are.  If Phil is the wonder boy and current heir...which is being pushed through the mags, then Dex will place 2nd.  We've seen it with one armed MrOs and a close call on Phil's turf at the CO show...which was probably Charles' show...not the NY show.

Naw, I don't think Jones will ever be Mr. O. He just doesn't have the size to be a top contender. Great looks and shape. But not Mr. O material.

Heath has a chance to win it in a year or two.

Heath is younger, hungry and Jones is not competing.
