Enough is enough, Arnold was the biggest guy on stage, Mentzer at 5'7 looked like Tattoo from fantasy island standing next to him and deserved 5th right behined Roger Walker (who got screwed) and Frank Zane got the biggest gift of the night, he shouldn't have been in the top 5.
Mentzer looks small and narrow next to Arnold and Roger.

arnold at 80% is still good enough to win, I really don't know how the controversy started... the pictures and videos clearly show arnold as superior
the 1981 olympia on the other hand...

People seem to think that because Arnold wasn't at his best he shouldn't have won. Sad fact is that he was still able to blow away the competition not in peak shape.
lol at Mentzers abs protruding further than his chest.No crew crew.

Another annoying piece of BS is that Arnold had weak triceps. In 1980 Arnold had great triceps!
On stage.

More annoying BS is the reports that Zane was so disgusted at the results that he smashed his trophy in the parking lot after the show. First off if Zane really did that then he is delusional, the fact is Zane looked like Garbage and was given a giant gift from the judges.
Seriously how the hell did Zane get third?
And look at Arnolds "weak" legs. They're twice as big as Zanes!

Roger Walker should have beat Mentzer and Zane who were both given gifts that night (particuarly Zane). But Roger shouldn't have been any higher than second or third cause Arnold just dwarfed him and everybody else on stage.
Check out how much bigger Arnolds guns are compared to Boyer Coe's in that last pic.

I like Arnold. BUT for me he lacked good defined abs "he has a 2pack"..and his legs "TO ME" were very weak. There were others at that point in time that were as good or better imho

Roger Walker always seemed to get screwed. He was a greeat bodybuilder that never really got his due respect.
I will admit that Arnold looks better in most of those shots.. I wish we could watch the entire contest.Certitude is the enemy of wisdom.

Now dont get me wrong...I would give my left nut for a body like that. BUT what I meant was he has no lower abs. Its just the first 2 rows. Nothing else..I think he was deserving of most of his wins though..I love his arms and delts "rear delts as well"Originally Posted by Hugh2

lol what ****ing idiot actually thinks Arnold shouldnt have won? 1980 is one of the years with the most difference between the winner and the rest of the competitors, there should be no controversy whatsover.

...But really, everything on Ronnie more than makes up for his lack of great abs. Where as on Arnold his arms,delts and waist size look great and everything else "to me" is not really any better.

i think, when compared to they guys he was next to on stage the exact same reasons ronnie overcomes his abs (which are genetic) is the same reason arni does too. size wise and even condition wise for the most part he takes the stage as seen in the pics above.Originally Posted by mikieson

I guess the same time a Back did...OR...Lats...OR...Legs...OR...Arms..Every year these body parts are picked apart as who had the best and people saying " well this person should have won cause they had better xxxx part"..Originally Posted by warbird00
FOR me..if you dont have the best abs "the one thing every single pro should have a 6pk" then you lose points. Does that mean that Arnold shouldnt have won? NO, he clearly is larger and more detailed then pretty much anyone there.

wow these pics are awesome
From seeing short vids, it looked to me like Arnold won... and now after seeing pics, it's painfully obvious that Arnold won.
Zane looks shockingly bad... and for having a reputation as one of the most elegant posers, well, let's just say he looks half retarded. Then we have Mentzer looking more narrow than a light post with a chest shallower than a wading pool.
Z00mggg teh judges favrited Arnuld cuz hes more cool than us
