Ignorance at it's best.

Dexter is more muscular and better conditioned.

There is no possible way that Shawn could beat him.

Shawn was way better. His calves were 10 times better, his frontal quads were 10 times more seperated. His serratus was better, his back was much thicker and seperated. He also had a much smaller waist and better overall symmetry. I am a huge dex fan but can be honest about the truth, Shawn at his peak would have destroyed dexter.

But how?

By the IFBB, everything is about muscularity and condition.

Things like flow, aesthetics, presentation, all things Shawn excelled at, are not rewarded by the judges.

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

Doom is noncommittal.

In the shoulders?

No.

But in the chest, hamstrings, quads, calves, arms, abs, serratus, upper and lower back? Yes -- and sometimes Shawn exhibited notably superior conditioning in those areas. Any photo from '92-'95 would show that IMHO.

Parker · « **Reply #64 on:** March 16, 2007, 04:02:34 PM »

There is a pic of Shawn looking into a mirror while doing a triceps pose (he had glasses on). Shawn's tris were more ripped than Dex has ever been. And if you ever have seen Shawn's Final Countdown video, he looked phenomenal in that, better than Dex. Dex yes has great conditioning, but Shawn beats him on:presentation, conditioning, balance and structure. Dex is freaky ninja Turtle. And no way, shape or form could be compared to Flex, except for his cockiness and attitude.

Danimal77 · « **Reply #65 on:** March 16, 2007, 09:55:43 PM »

Shawn hands down. I don't think Dexter lived up to all the hype of him being the next Flex Wheeler. The worse competitors have gotten, he still can't even manage to take the Mr. O.
Shawn should have taken it at least twice and would take it if he were competing today.

phyxsius · « **Reply #66 on:** March 16, 2007, 11:56:02 PM »

Shawn made Dexter his little bitch.

Another thing, get Dext to do a vacumn

Wiggs · « **Reply #67 on:** March 17, 2007, 01:17:29 AM »

Look at that last pic. Perfection.

Shawn ray looked badass i reckon.

Bodybuilding has gone down since the 90s. that is why a person like Dexter is a sight for sour eyes in the new millennium.

Dexter could never beat Shawn. Shawn was one of the greatest. And I see it very unfortunate that he retired.

Dexter with his condition could have one Olympia titles in the 90s?? Meaning: Haney, Yates and Coleman. If Shawn, flex and Kevin couldn’t win an Olympia Dexter would never.

We have people like Jonnie Jackson come in with wide midsection, art atwood who no one knows what he is doing, King kamali who sabotaged his physique, then we have Markus with Synthol all around and Dennis who comes in pregnant.

All the mass monsters distorted the definition of balanced and symmetrical physique. That is why a guy like Dexter or Rockel is a big deal these days. This is how bodybuilding should have stayed.

We all know that Dennis doesn’t like shawn and he is close friends with Dexter so that is why he will say Dexter is better than shawn.

I'd give the conditioning edge to Dex.

But since BB is about the total package I'd say Shawn wins hands down, he has more of a polished look and is put together a little bit better.
