Best of the Shortest
Wanted to see who you guys think is/was the best among the shorter guys in the IFBB. Now before you go and complain that the 212 guys are up there with potential Mr. O's and went up with the big boys (Ray,Columbo,Priest), please keep in mind that the weight difference between these guys don't matter for this thread and I'm just asking for who you think is the best among the shorter (well, by pro standards) among the IFBB.

Shawn Ray is the Ronnie Coleman of the 200/202/212/any lighter weight division. edit: Samir should be in the poll instead of Raymond or Correa.

Voted Columbu because he's such a legend. Everybody knows anyway, but he was strong as fuk too! Unfortunately he never got the attention he deserved, walking in the shadow of Arnold. Still, must've been great times back then!
Benching about 200Kg:
I was always mirin' his chest separation:
Looking swole as fuk:
Lewis, Henry and Ray are truly great too though and obviously a lot better than Franco from a bbing standpoint.Sports Therapy- & Prevention Major - University of Potsdam

Shawn Ray was amazingly good. Maybe the only short bodybuilder who could have beaten him was Momo Benaziza, and only then at his very best.
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.

I think it's pretty close, both nailed their conditioning and I see no major size- or imbalance differences. In all honesty though, that gyno on Franco is very disturbing.Originally Posted by Tb0282

01-07-2013, 03:30 PM #22Other than gyno, the only real difference is the legs. Franco had zero separation in his legs, thats where Danny pulls ahead imo. And from behind Padilla's calves outmass Columbu's ever so slightly.Originally Posted by flahexer
But you are right, it is rather close, I'm just a little biased since Padilla is one of my favorite bodybuilders.~Jesus Christ Is My Savior Crew~

lol, never noticed that till you pointed it out. his chest division dwarfs it though and that's the first thing you focus on as opposed to the gynoOriginally Posted by flahexer

I went with Lee Priest. I just can't wrap my head around the idea of Shawn Ray being a "short" bodybuilder. Technically, ok, he is below average in height. But not by that much. I just don't think of him that way.

Padilla, Platz, Benfatto each for different reasons.
Danny for amazing proportions and conditioning.
Tom for legs and tenacity in trying his damndest
Francis for being a goddamn work of art
