but maybe Dex would look more sharp in this pose.(Again i am not a fan of dex at all)

No doubt that DEX is awesome, and I would dare to say, he gets dryer than Shawn did, but....

Shawn's legs were Much better (more seperated with a great sweep), and Shawn's back was better than Dex's as well..

I am not sure it would even be really close.

yeah, the "fake arrogant" style. i read him like a book.

all show for the cameras.

Yup.

Hey Dexter, you told the kid to fix his broken camera, how 'bout you fix your personality.

Shawn Ray would be better overall.
However, condition wise, Dexter is unbeatable.

Did Shawn ever have THIS kind of conditioning? Both were great but I would give the edge to Dexter. Bah!

Dexter has a clear edge over Ray on muscle quality, hardness, density, sharpness & cuts; you can see it here on arms especially. Ray never had strengths in those areas, but had better balance & structure.

As far as personality, who's phonier than Shawn?

Although Dexter may not be as "pretty" as Shawn, per the IFBB judging criteria, he would beat shawn. He is more muscular and better conditioned.

after seeing Dexter at the 2007 ASC and Aussie GP I can say we've now seen the best of each of these guys come and go.

But i think the 2004-2005 Dexter beats Shawn's best (96? 94?). If Dexter had better calves it'd be much clearer, but even without he still beats Shawn.

and you cant compare the two in any of their same contests, dexter developed later than shawn did

Dex never looked like this..

It's one of those physique vs. conditioning deals. Better Physique - Shawn. Better Conditioning - Dex.

Although, Shawn needs to be taken to task for being over 40 and still wearing earrings, as he did at ASC.

dexter is good but gotta go with shawn

swoody · « **Reply #35 on:** March 16, 2007, 11:48:45 AM »

You know how annoying it is to have to agree with a dick such as yourself?

Ray didn't have the same dryness, density, separation, sharpness or refinement. A little watery in comparison. Better balance.

GH15:
ray is a leage of his own,,one of the best ever,,but you need to pay attention who dexter jackson compete against!!! that guy,,dex,,is the best walking bodybuilder on planet earth now days,,because at 225lb he put 275lb bodybuilders to shame,,he has call outs with beasts on a regular basis and he is not even close to their size,,yet give the impression he is only with a hell of a lot better condition

dexter jackson in the early 90s would be mr o,,and more than once

The thing about Shawn is...

If any of us were that great at what we did, we'd probably be assholes too.

Does it matter and would he be honest for a change?

haider · « **Reply #43 on:** March 16, 2007, 01:46:25 PM »

Dexter may have him beat on condition (on average) but shawn at his best just blows him out of the water. Dexters lack of calves, big obliques and high lats are a big knock on his physique IMO. This throws off his overall balance and aesthetics. Shawn's physique comes as close to perfection as it can get.

william · « **Reply #44 on:** March 16, 2007, 01:49:39 PM »

No doubt that Shawn was better I just don't want to hear anymore about how he should have won a Mr.O the man was great and maybe he should have but why bitch about something you cant change.

kyomu · « **Reply #45 on:** March 16, 2007, 01:52:24 PM »

Woa. These photos indicate end of thread clearly. Dex is the winner.

One man at his prime vs another at the end f his career, LOL, I wouldnt say thats the fairest of comparisons

MisterMagoo · « **Reply #47 on:** March 16, 2007, 02:05:12 PM »

if anyone can find a picture of dex where he has clearly separated and striated quads, i think that will end the argument.

ribonucleic · « **Reply #48 on:** March 16, 2007, 02:14:24 PM »

The pecs-to-delts ratio is so vastly superior in Ray's case.

hipolito mejia · « **Reply #49 on:** March 16, 2007, 02:39:41 PM »

Dexter woudn't palce top 10 in the 90's Mr.O.

Comparing Shawn Ray with Dexter it's an insult.
