I think Dorian is better than Arnold, but I still don't know if he'd be my favorite of all time. Ronnie, maybe.

Kevin Levrone. No he didnt win an O but he had the best combination of size and aesthetics IMO.

Imo Yates or Arnold
Greatest bodybuilder to me not only means who looked good but also other areas such as contribution to training, determination, conditioning, etc.
Arnold takes the cake in influence, he prolly has had more influence then every other Mr Olympia combined. I like Yates because he revolutionized training, brought the low carb diet more mainstream, achieved the best conditioning of any Mr Olympia, and trained hard all year round while improving year after year.
People can say Wheeler or Olivia, and while I could agree somewhat they may have had the best genetics and physiques for there time, Id never categorize them as the best mostly because they didnt train very hard and had less then steller diets.

Arnold is the best ever. WHY? If Arnold grew up as a child in the '70s and reached his early '20s in the mid '80s and took terrible amounts of steroids, not to mention all the high-tech creatine and other supplements today, HE WOULD DWARF RONNIE COLEMAN. Enough said.

couldn't have said it better myself....arnie got that big back in the day when training/supplements/steroids were not NEARLY as advanced as modern day...so respect to him

arnold. When you say bodybuilding Arnold is what people think of. So if you're going to ask something ambiguous like who's the "greatest" I'd have to say Arnold

Probably Kevin Levrone and Steve Reeves.
Amazing how Levrone has shrunk though. Respect to him for respecting his health enough to drop the aas though.
But I think that Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) has an awesome physique, even though he isn't considered a "bodybuilder". He obviously built his physique with hard work though. And chemicals too I would think.

Greatest in regards to influential - Arnold
Greatest in regards to physique - Coleman.
Personally I think Flex's physique is the closest thing we have seen to perfection, but even at his best, Coleman shuts him down.

My god how stupid are you people. You can not say that! You have no idea how arnold would respond to anything! Your not him and you don't know him. Has to be one of the dumbest things I have heard on this forum in years.
Yeah and "IF" I was born with better genetics I would dwarf Ronnie too. Does that now make me better than him?

my favorite ever is Kevin Levrone...so it's hard for me to think who was the best ever without automatically thinking Levrone.
but I'd have to say Coleman, I guess. At his best, he was amazing. Maybe Dorian. but probably Coleman.
