He's not underrated.
He's doing very well for himself right now.
He even has a new movie coming out.

Google "Ali G" and "Borat".
Now, I truly wonder what Samir Bannout's diet was like back in the '80's.

*Everything* that works in BBing was discovered through real world experimentation. Leave pubmed to the supplement marketers and their shills.

Samir was a great bodybuilder.
Remember reading late 80's muscle mags and interviews with him and he was truly his biggest fan also.

Refer to original post. 1983. His back was the standout IMO.

because he only won it once. Chris Dickerson did the same, except Sammir was a hit or miss guy and lost to Lee Haney while Chris Dickerson retired after he won.

I dont understand how you can win an OLYMPIA and be underated.

Your post can be interpreted several ways. If you are suggesting he doesn't warrant any recognition beyond winning the Mr. Olympia, then I disagree. Samir had an amazing physique in 83 - in my opinion better than Arnold or Frank Zane. However, you rarely hear his name in bodybuilding discussions. If you are suggesting he deserves more recognition than he gets, I wholeheartedly agree.
