I voted Kai.
I'll explain why I personally believe that Kai is the GOAT. Even though Kai hasn't won an Olympia title, he has a physique that would BEAT ANYONE if he came in 100%. This is proven by the fact that a 100% Kai has never been beaten in an IFBB event. However, this argument goes deeper than just titles and placings. I feel that Kai is the walking embodiment of bodybuilding. He epitomizes the sport moreso than anyone else. Kai Greene is more than just the epitome of bodybuilding; he IS BODYBUILDING.
Also, Kai has 6 body parts that are arguably the best ever (hamstrings, quads, biceps, back, chest, abdominals) but coleman only has 4 (biceps, chest, glutes, delts). Arnold only has 3 (biceps, chest, spinal erectors).
Everything about Kai is epic. His physique is epic, his posing is epic, his hairstyle is epic, the way he talks about philosophical things in interviews is epic. His whole image is just epic. He is the most original and entertaining bodybuilder ever to grace a stage. Kai Greene is to bodybuilding what Michael Jackson is to the music industry.
"I became my own living model. I utilized my own physique to gain a greater understanding of space and movement, creating works of art that became increasingly detailed and complex over time." - Kai Greene
Now tell me who you think is the GOAT, and explain why.
Go!

Learn how to read. I didn't say that they had the best pecs ever. I said those bodybuilders have "arguably the best ever" of those body parts. Meaning, if you were to have a discussion of who has the best chest ever, then their names would come up. You cannot definitively conclude that X bodybuilder has the best chest ever, or best back ever, or best biceps ever, etc. There are too many variables to consider.

This thread is about your favorites.
Kai, Ray and Levrone didn't even won the big one. Kai probably will do it along the road but as of now it's laughable that he's included in a list like this.John "The pro architect" Hollywood

No, he has arguably the best chest, biceps, delts and glutes ever. His calves, abdominals & obliques wouldn't make a top 5 list. His back isn't the best ever because it was assymetrical, his quads aren't the best ever because they were enormous but lacked detailed compared to the other greats like Kai, Branch, Jay, and Platz.

ROFL this thread isn't about my favourites you dumb ****. I despise the physiques of Coleman and Yates; I didn't even want to include them in the poll, but I knew I had to because everyone would have a cry if I didn't. I don't really care for Lee Haney either, but he won 8 Olympia titles so you basically just include him by default.
ROFL, the Olympia titles don't mean everything. Weider controls it all. LMAO at Dorian beating Nasser in 97 and Jay beating Victor in 2007. The contests are rigged. Everyone knows that. Shawn got robbed and so did Levrone.
That's why I said "it goes much deeper than titles and placings."

A better question is "if you think the sport is rigged, why bother following it?"
We're dodging more ninjitsu attacks than Flex Wheeler. We're ducking more bullets than George Farah. We're facing more death than a kid leg pressing at Branch Warren's gym.
You can't stop us. You can't hold us back.
IFBB brahs über alles.

When did I say Kai should've won you retarded ****? I said SHAWN got robbed and LEVRONE got robbed. Kai has already proven he is the best and can beat everyone at the Arnold Classic, he just hasn't done it on the Olympia stage yet because Oscar blew his conditioning the last 2 times. This year is going to be different. Farah and Kai are going to bring something to this Olympia that we've never seen before. I garauntee it. Kai is going to rock some people's worlds at the 2011 Olympia.

Ok.. I'm a long time lurker.. but this has to stop!! Waste of bandwidth and time!! There should be a WASTELAND forum and this thread perfectly fits there!!
Kai has to win at least 1 Mr.Olympia title before even getting listed as GOAT.. he's not even the worlds best at his prime, I'm a passive bodybuilding fan and even I can spot a semi-troll

BRB, being the greatest bodybuilder of all time without winning a single Olympia. OP, you might as well have opted for Hulk Hogan.

I think Ronnie Coleman is the GOAT.
Reason: because he is the GOAT.Bench: 215x12 (17/12/2011) PR since torn RC
