Shawn was narrow and didn't have a great back


Haney, Yates, and Ronnie dwarfed Ray on the back poses

Were the judges on crack?

Let me preface this by saying Shawn Ray had an outstanding physique, however he was OVERRATEd the guy has just 2 pro wins and when he ventured out of the Olympia he was still routinely beaten.

Shawn Ray had a great ability to market himself into something he wasn't which was exceptional.

He had an excellent back , but it lacked width. His lat spreads sucked. His clavicles were narrow ( Heath anyone? ) Oh and he was a MAJOR douch who wore make-up  ;D 

he promised to beat Haney , that failed
he promised to beat Yates , that failed
he promised to beat Coleman , that failed.

He SUCKED as a competitive bodybuilder , he was consistent I'll give you that but he's so overrated it's not funny

That still only would have given him 3 pro contest wins lol in 14 years as a pro  :-X

After watching it, it was between Yates and nobody.

And, for anyone who said he has no legs, watch him walk to the front of the stage.  Immense.

As great as Ray was then, several of the other competitors were better.  It's hard to believe when you look at pics of Ray standing by himself.

Dorian's last two Olympias were gifts.  Same as Jay in 07, Ronnie's last two.  In dorian's first 4, nevermind.  It was lights out for him.  That's the thing with Heath at 4.  He can easily get 7 because he hasn't recieved his two gift placings yet.

96 wasn't....I was there.  Challenged from the front, unbeatable from the back poses.

Overrated

Oh brother ::)

OVERRATED   ;)

2 pro wins in 14 years hahahahahahahahahahahaha that's the definition of overrated. Especially when people call him one of the greatest ever  ::)

The knock on Shawn was he never changed , he won the nationals at 196lbs and competed about 205lbs at his best. wow-wee a whopping 9 pounds in 14 years , he tried to compete heavier at a reported 215lbs and he looked like shit ( relative to lighter Shawn ) and his spot-on conditioning suffered for it.

Shawn was good at making people believe he was much better than he was , I can see you feel for it.

For Ray to be a threat... He couldn't be "off", not even by a little bit. He had to be dialed-in 100% and totally shredded.

Otherwise guys like Levrone, Wheeler, Nasser, Cormier, and Dillet would crush him.
