I am interested to... because according to most (including arnold himself) he lost that show on the merits of his body. Apparently Arnold was smaller and had similar conditioning. Despite all this raving I have yet to see some pics of them together posing the same poses (i have seen some in arnold's book but they look aweful)

Interestingly enough, when i tried finding a pic for you on google, 90% of the pics that came up were of the 3rd place finisher Surge Nubret! unfortunately i could not find any pics of both Arnold and Sergio on stage at that particular competition.

As i stated before there are no pictures where they are posing against each other (like lats against lats, bis against bis)

I believe it is a cospirarcy by Wielder to hide the fact that Sergio was so much better than arnold.

That is one theory, which is could not be concieved as outrageous. But when it comes to bodybuilding competitions, there are more than just Weider photographers present. I am sure that somewhere there are some pictures of this show. I dont think that Sergio was MUCH better than Arnold, although i do agree that in the earlier shows he should have won. I think that this is an interesting quest however, and i think that i will do some research and try and find some pictures somewhere, perhaps you will join me?

I have one picture, its of Nubret, Arnold and Oliva, however they are all in different poses, all three look bad, and sergio looks worst (he he half flexed, its not just sergio sucked, his lats were not flared, i have seen pics of his lats and they are far more impressive)

I will join you on your quest...

I have Arnold's BBing encyclopedia and Ive always found it rather suspect the pictures he chose to use. I think he only chose pics where he looked better than, or Sergio didn't completely destroy him in.

Check this pic- Sergio, not sure when...

Too bad Sergio was out the picture in the 70s. If he had competed against Arnold in the 70s, bbding history would be much more interesting. I think he would have beat Arnold and dominated the Olympia up to the 1980s. He looked phenemenol at his late 70s Olympus victories.

i am pretty sure that is a 72 picture, i have found some pictures, and am going to make a new thread of it with some commentary, it will be posted in about an hour.
