No question: Labrada. Plus I saw him pose @ the Ironman cira 93'. Best poser I ever saw. He would make Melvin A look stupid, that good.

Spot on.  No one has ever surpassed Labrada's posing - out of this world is the only way to describe it, improved over Makkawy too (and Makkawy was a fantastic poser).  A whole new level compared to Shawn.  Physiquewise it's close but you have to give it to Lee.  Results between the two tell the story and Lee was just that much better balanced and had a superior structure.  Look at the front lat pic someone posted, Shawn couldn't touch that.

Can someone tell what`s so great about Schwarzenegger ?
In his days, ok, but compared to todays bodybuilder he looks like shit.
Bad - very bad symmetry, bad definition etc.

Even I`m from Schwarzeneggers home country I can`t see something special, except his biceps, which overpowers his whole body.
Again, great in his time, but nowadays he would struggle to win a newcomer championship in Austria.
Ridiculous to see him amongst the best 10 of all time

I have respected Lee Labrada since I started BBing.
But honestly Shawn is better.

Shawn Ray.

I like both guys, but SR at his all time best is easily better than Labrada. Labrada holds his own, but it's still no contest.

Side note: Both of them have very cool sounding names, although Labrada kicks Ray's ass in this department.

In the nickname department, there is no contest. Lee "Mass with Class" Labrada eats "Sugar" Shawn Ray for breakfast.

I think Shawn should start using Gold as a new nickname. Drop "Shawn" entirely. I'm sure they'd never denied Gold to win the Sandow.

Whatcha say, Gold?

IF IF IF IF IF.. guess what he didn't.. SR=Nothing special.. won two (disqualified once) in over 15 years of competition...overated and thats being kind to the boy..

It's not what you win it's who you're up against. Re look at this video of Ray and tell me he's tier 2. I may have to resort to making fun of your mother.

Labrada had clearly a better physique than Ray.. No comparison.. Labrada was tier 1, Ray was tier 2

Don't take this the wrong way, but that may just be the most stupid thing I've ever read on this board...congratulations ::)

Labrada won more shows and beat Ray on head-to-head competition more times.  However, that to me is meaningless.  If we answer the question posed in the 1st post of this thread…

Both at their best

A virtual pose down would help

…then the answer is clearly Shawn Ray.  The last time they did battle on stage, if memory serves me right, Shawn finally beat Lee because he had better separation, detail, full muscles and more overall mass.

the best way to put it is that Shawn IS Lee with 25 pounds more muscle, so of course Shawn is better.

Watching Gold Ray's form from 94 and 96, he's much better than Labrada.

Are you people really serious.  I mean cmon man, not everyone likes Shawn as a person... but lets be real here... Labrada could never beat Ray.  Its not even close.  Labrada was a better poser slightly, but i mean... what bodypart does Labrada win on?  Calves maybe?  Rays Xframe is even better, quads striated, more detail, drier, harder, this thread is a joke.

yep, im with you rhino. Labrada, no question.

in 90 and 91 he took it to the two big dudes of BB and really shoulda been awarded both sandows.

Ray has two poses that look off...front double bi and ab/thigh. His back double bi was his best pose though- freaky stuff. Labrada looked good in all poses. Both excellent posers too, but LL's routines were works of art without seeming one bit gay.

Da hell... Comparing Lee to Shawn. What an insult. Shawn Ray is in a different league. I love Lee's physique but it is nowhere near as great as Shawn. Gimme a fawkin break.
