Shawn would knock him off the stage....
Not literally though cause he is a pussy! ;D
Holy GOD Shawn.. you're the fuckin' man!!(http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l294/vein-x/shawn_ray.jpg)
...pussy? what??? look at the arm:waist ratio... good game shawn, good game! you got new respect from me man.
No need to thank us for the love. Shawn in case you don't already know, your physique is just plain considered without a doubt the most perfect physique ever presented on a stage. Even the so called mass monsters agree. Not to blow smoke up your ass but to me and countless others your physique is considered to be " Perfection" and that is quite a strong word to use. Ronnie is going for his 9th Mr. O
And big ron is simply amazing. But you would not look at Ronnie and say, " WOW " that's just a perfect physique. My girlfriend is very into BB because of me. It's funny because she can critique all the competitors and she is usually right on. So the other day we watched a youtube video of you and I did not say a word. Her comments were,
My god that man is not only gorgeous, but there is not a flaw on his physique, and if everyone presented themselves like that and posed so beautifully bodybuilding would be looked at as an art form. So when both men and women consider it perfection, there is something to be said for that.
What I don't get is Dexters weight at the shows is listed in the high 220's to 230's, and Dex is an inch shorter than Ray. So that should make dex look far bigger than Ray. Maybe It's just that Ray did not lie about his weight. Ray was 212 lbs at his best and looks much bigger and more dense than Dexter. Just an observation.It doesn't get better than this folks !!!!! That physique,is a thing of beauty ! Good job Mr.Ray ! Well done !!!!!!!
*** My Fav pic of Shawn. ( Who would not want to look like this !!! )
You can actually call that " PERFECTION "

Pass me a little bit of what you're smoking!
Post your argument.
So, we're basically smokin' the same thing?!!
BTW, Shawn doesn't blow Dexter away. He is better, but not by much. Go back and look at Dexter's photos. THAT doesn't just get blown away!

Nice comparisons and interesting feedback.
Dexter caugh then end of my era and the criteria is a bit different.
Hat's off to him for handling his business, i can appreciate the feedback and the critque.
My strength is in my genetics.
When I started I started by winning at 17, note the attached picture.
I was driven by improving OVERALL.
Dexter on the other hand was not only short but skinny.
He had to over come a few more things and wasn't as genetically balanced I was to start.
That being said, he represents alot of where I left off and these comparison is flattering considering he is and has been a top 3 guy the last few years while comiong into his own.
Respect.
S. Ray
Shawn,
Monster calves!
Sincerely,
Alexxx

Dex's calves actually look decent from the front.
You're joking right?I mean they still don't look good, but in that pic above it atleast looks like there is some muscle there.
theres solo shots are great and all, especially if i wanted to compare ray to a field of wheat. someone post one of dex next to ray. not fair considering the main point of the thread was dexters BEST vs ray's best.....ray's has already happpened, but we might have yet to see dex's best
overall i like dexters phsyique better, more of an X frame
I mean they still don't look good, but in that pic above it atleast looks like there is some muscle there.
I mean they still don't look good, but in that pic above it atleast looks like there is some muscle there.dex should have kept whatever was in his calves a few years back there non existant now,also ive seen dexters stomach get gradually worse over the years and that was a big disapointment as it used to be his strongpoint.i also agree with the other poster who said that the muscle on shawns frame looked much more like it was supposed to be there,IMO dex looks really unhealthy now
Shawn in his prime would destroy Dexter, not even close, Shawn's legs were WAY better and he was far more complete.Then I ask you.
Shawn. Be honest.Kyomu. Be Honest.
You are not fool.
I know that you think you cant beat Dex on stage.
Kyomu. Be Honest.
You ARE a dumbass.
I know that you're fvcking retarded and don't belong posting on AMERICAN boards. You need learn Engrish.
Back to the Japan Ironman you go...
Japanese 'Ironman' 2006 - Where Your Dumbass Belongs... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kYQI6XywJk&mode=related&search=)
Shut up red neck.
Then I ask you.Levrone destroys both of them.
Shawn and Kevin. Who is better?(I mean who win on stage?)
And now, Kevin and Dex Who is better?
Levrone destroys both of them.Mmmmm ok. I can accept it.
Shawn in his prime would destroy Dexter, not even close, Shawn's legs were WAY better and he was far more complete....and Dexter has those high lats that just don't look right.
Levrone destroys both of them.that is true news.
but when they turn around shawn doesnt have a back.
Hahha.. Joke of the day..
Shawn Ray's back can stand with one of the best developed back in the history of bodybuilding..
He never had great conditioning from the rear???
(http://www.testmester.net/images/kepek/nagyok/3046.jpg) ???
LMAO at now!
Seriously Shawn your physique was awesome! I really hope you stay in shape. Why don't you post your natural pics for those of us who would like some motivation in staying natural.
I have this article of yours with the ab training and your abs are looking crazy! Did you train them year round?
Compared to DOrian and Ronnie, no he doesn't have the same conditioning. Watch the videos, it's apparent, his back just wasn't near their level.
not really. Not even close. Everytime I saw him on tape, I was always let down when I saw him from the rear. He never had great conditioning from the rear. Dex has a better back, much thicker.whaaaat? shawn had an amazing back,in fact i remember the first time i saw his back i was amazed by the conditionoing and detail.to say shawn ray didnt have good condition from the back is just ridiculous,sorry
not really. Not even close. Everytime I saw him on tape, I was always let down when I saw him from the rear. He never had great conditioning from the rear. Dex has a better back, much thicker.I agree with you 100%
I agree with you 100%erm take a look at the picture 4 posts above...does that look like an out of condition back ::)
erm take a look at the picture 4 posts above...does that look like an out of condition back ::)I have started BBing 1988.
Description of why he beats out Dex....you forgot that Shawn's legs were 50 times better than Dexter's.
DexI mean...seņor mio. Back pose.
Shawn destroys Dexter in the pics Hulkster put up.Yeah Look like.

Back stage shotSorry Shawn, I see you have lost in this"Back stage" shot.
Yeah. Dex has better Structure.
shawn in his 1994 olympia shape destroys anything dex has ever presented...
unless someone can show me otherwise...
the dex fans are forgetting about structure...
I'm not trying to win anything here, comparisons are great and the present company is too!Hey. Super bad memory you have.
These kinds of debates are cool because EVERYONE has a right to their opinion not just 12 judges.
Different people like different things.
Dexter and I only competed in 1 Olympia together head to head.
You know the result but nonetheless, he has improved since then and I have retired.
I'm a big fan of his by the way.
s
(http://body.builder.hu/imagebank/pictures/974266989.jpg)totally agreed.

;Dthat picture right there shows that Shawn had some of the best legs in the history of bb'ing.
;DDont be stupid! Ronnie is not flexin and you are!
I wonder if they are still that big.I dont think so.
It's common knowledge that Dexter lies about his weight. Dexter is a good bodybuilder, but he's a good lier too..
Shawn Ray and anyone in the top 6 from the Arnold 96' would kick Mutant Dexter.

(http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=91658.0;attach=99904;image)No no!! Shapes also Dex is better.But Again legs go to Shawn.
(http://www.fitplus.cz/allpic/mf/f_216.jpg)
shawns shape is far superior..
off topic:
shawn, since you like these sorts of threads, I must ask you to contribute your opinion to the infamous "truce thread".
thanks.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled Shawn owning Dex program:
(http://www.fitplus.cz/allpic/mf/f_5.jpg)
(http://www.bodybuildingpro.com/dexter01.jpg)
the fact remains that:
shawn kills dex in the quads, calves, hams and glutes
Shawn kill dex in any pose where the arms are not at the side...thus revealing Dex's oddly shaped torso...
Layoff the crack,Dex can hang with the big boys.Shawn was always pushed over whenever anyone over 230 came in with good condition.hahahaha
Even with those misleading pictures Dex still looks better,on stage next to each other it will be slaugther.
Hahha.. Joke of the day..your an idiot shawn ray had absolutely no taper from the back...dexter absolutely crushes him in back width, thickness, and conditioning.
Shawn Ray's back can stand with one of the best developed back in the history of bodybuilding..
Ok, since 98% of the opinions (including mine) are for Shawn, let's break it down pose-4-pose:
Relaxed (front): Shawn
Quarter turns: hmmmmm, this is tough since both have awesome saratus. But this one goes to DEXTER
Relaxed (rear): Dexter
Front double bi: Shawn (sick vacuum)
Front Lat: Shawn (Dexter has high lats)
Side chest: Dexter (sick hams, glutes, quads from side. also has unbelievable bi/tri separation)
Side Tri: Shawn (small waist & great balance)
Rear double bi: Shawn (there are enough pix in this thread to smash the argument)
Rear Lat: Shawn (wide, cut and thick)
Abs & thighs: Shawn (even though Dexter has sick abs, he lacks the thigh separation to win this pose)
Most Muscular: This one is a tie (IMO). Dexter's upper body looks more muscular than Shawn's. But Shawn's legs can't be beat.
Shawn seems to beat Dexter in almost every pose.
But the $$$Million-Dollar question is:
CAN TODAY'S DEXTER BEAT SHAWN'S BEST?
*Note: Dexter wasn't as good as he is today when Shawn was competing.
Sorry, but Dexter wins every shot from the rear. His back is much thicker and more developed. The rear lat spread was one of Shawn's worst poses.
I disagree. Shawn easily wins in the lower body department and many others. To me Shawn has a much more classic shape.
Quarter turns: hmmmmm, this is tough since both have awesome saratus. But this one goes to DEXTER
I disagree.. Dex has a gut, just like Dennis..
I'm sure there is a slight distention there, but definitely NO comparison to James.
Most pros appear to have it slightly. Some more than others. Plus, the photographers don't help by snapping the shots in between 'breaths'.
I didn't see the 05 AS. Did it look like Dexter's stomach was distended?
mmm wonder if Ronnie can vacuum ::)

Yeah. Dex has better Structure.
But,Hulk, dont post old pic of Dex.
You must post best of him.
Or how Flex is better than everyone. :oYes actualy, Flex is better than Dex.
WHAT? A gut like James? NOT!!!am i the only one that thinks dexters abs are horrible?hes got just as much distention as anyone else.look at his pictures over the years and see how the abs started seperating in the middle over those years.i remember when i first started to notice it about 3 years ago and i was thinking" c'mon dex give it up withthat shit" but it gradually got worse and worse.how pwoplwe think hes got some of the best in the business is beyond me
Dexter has thick abs which can appear as distention. But look at his quarter turns......no gut.
Dennis' midsection is disgusting. Dexter abs are thick.
As for shape I would say Dexter wins also.
(http://body.builder.hu/imagebank/pictures/974267039.jpg)
shawn, like flex and 99 Ronnie have this great shapely look to their muscles.
man, that sounded gay! :D
Guys today are so dry and hard they don't look as full and shapely as the 90s guys.
(http://body.builder.hu/imagebank/pictures/974267507.jpg)Actually, these photo is saying that Dex has better arm than Shawn.
(http://body.builder.hu/imagebank/pictures/1071842093.jpg)
they are close in some poses though...
Actually, these photo is saying that Dex has better arm than Shawn.yes dex has more synthol in his arm than shawn
Check it out. Hulky.
Best Chris won against Best Shawn.
Best Dex won against best Chris.
Then how about Best Dex and Best Shawn? Hulky?
Its pure logic.
yes dex has more synthol in his arm than shawnStupid.
when did best chris win agains best shawn?When Chris got third and second was Flex and 1st was ronnie.

I missed my peak in 99' I went for Size at 219lbsOh no... Then I admit it Hulky.
That being said, thatwas the ONLY time Cormier beat me and we went head up at least 8 or nine times between the Arnold and O shows after he turned Pro in 93.
I missed my peak that year, yes. :-\
