Look carefully at the '83 Olympia tape and you see that Fox was physically superior to anyone on stage-bigger and as or more cut than Samir.
The difference in that show and some others is, as an ex-Olympian said to me, that Weider likes good spokesmen for the sport, which Samir could be. Can't blame Weider but it should be part of the judging criteria rather than pretending it isn't.
