A lot of big dudes in that line up

Shawn Ray is comfortably the shortest and if you exclude Roland the rest are like 5'10 and taller

Paul wasn't good in the back lat spread and back double. This alone puts him out from being competetive in the top spots.

+ he could not pose

Please do not “explain” anything to me.

Dillett beat Shawn Ray twice a few months earlier at the 1996 Pro Ironman and the 1996 Arnold Classic.

Paul was a top contender and he was voicing his opinion.

Dorian straight firsts in 1996 He was NEVER close to beating Dorian. No one was.
He looks like a little obese midget next to Dorian.

Dillets bdb latspread where shit even at his best. That's why he never placed high

Shawn was complete. When you are complete you expose other bb'ers weaknesses and that makes him look better in comparisons. He was the only one who could give Dorian a run for his money from the back.

One thing I can say about 96 O is that Ronnie was brutally overlooked and should have placed higher.

Do I need to say it again?

Shawn got smoked by Dillett at the 1996 Pro Ironman and 1996 Arnold Classic.

Paul said that he wasn’t impressed with Shawn at the 1996 Olympia. End of story.

Your “explanations” are not needed.

Pauls opinion doesn't matter. He also had alot of opinions on other peoples posing I recall from his magazine columns yet he couldn't pose for shit himself. And he literally couldn't hold a pose still for one second without wobbling around. Impressive physique though. But from the back he got smoked always.

Dorian Yates smoked Shawn at the 1996 Olympia.

Yates and Dillett were both in agreement: it wasn’t a close show. Yates won easily.
