They used to call Dexter Jackson a poor man's Shawn Ray.

My question to you guy is in their respective prime, who was better and why?

Discuss...

Shawn Ray has very round muscle bellies. At their best IMO Shawn still looks better but Dexter would kill him in a show with the physique he's shown the last 3 years.

very close but over all i think shawn had a better shape, still dex at his best would beat shawn at his best because of his bigger size!!.. IMO dex is better in the FDB, FLS, and, SC.. shawn is better in the 2 rear poses and the abs/thighs.. I am not sure about the ST!..

anyway this thread needed some comparison pics

That's your domain Shalaby. Try and provide some comparison pics, but before you do, you have to choose the right years (Shawn's BEST vs. Dexter's BEST)..

Well Dex won the title. But for some reason I like Shawn Ray better.

Shawn Ray is ten times better than dexter jackson. Shawn actually has detail all over his body, as opposed to dex, who just has striated shoulders and for some reason this is thought of as being "ripped" all over. Dex has no lower body detail, no arm detail, no great back detail, decent ab detail, and decent chest detail. Shawn was ripped everywhere, had the illusion of being bigger than he was, and had a much more classic looking physique. dex looks like he has taken a lot of hgh and slin.

dex has never equalled this in his entire career.

you guys are on drugs or have shit in your eyes.

Dex is way better than ray was.

in every area, and overall. (ok maybe shawn had him in calves).

shawn's FDB looked crap, his waist and thighs blocky, arms nowhere near Dex's, and front lat spread and overall sweep not even in the same league as Dex.

Both great physiques. Too bad we will never see them both onstage together at their all time best.

Shawn Ray looked the best. Out of the two, most would probably want to look like Shawn. Shawn had more polish and presentation. He has in opinion, the best abs in bbing, look at his serratus and intercostals. Shawn's arms to me could have been bigger, to match his lower body. Great back and traps. Plus, he is one of the few that can pull a vacuum, not even Melvin Anthony, when he won his pro card could do a vacuum, and his waist was tiny. Shawn and Dex did compete together, back in 99-2002. They were about the same weight as well. Dex is heavier and has that freak factor, Shawn has a more classical flow to him.
