Why would you put Flex Wheeler in 1998?

[Arkansaskid]

Why would you put Flex Wheeler in 1998?

Its was extremely close in my opinion, Flex mid-section was better, ronnie looked better from the back but not by much, It could have gone either way.

As you see I have Ronnie with 4 clear olympia wins and 2 even, so I'd give him 5 olympias instead of 8 (counting the even ones at 0,5)
Dorian won clearly 4 years, but he lost to SHawn Ray in 1994 and NAsser in 1997, he should have 4 Olympias instead of 6
Phil only won 2011 and 2013.... he clearly lost this year and in 2012 to Kai Greene.
Jay won right every year, except in 2007, but at the same time he deserved to win in 2001, and the match was even with ronnie in 2005, where anyone could have won.

I agree with your placings from 2006 onwards. Although I do not think Kai was robbed in 2012. From all the pics and video I have seen, I thought him and Phil were neck and neck at the prejudging, and at that point the contest could literally have been decided by a coin toss. However, Phil got a little bit better at the finals while Kai got a little flat. I also thought Phil was the more complete bodybuilder - Kai looked incomplete next to Phil in the rear relaxed and rear lat spread. So I thought Phil was the deserving victor in 2012.

2014 is the year Kai was robbed. From the pics and vid I've seen, Kai was clearly beating Phil at prejudging. This was due in no small part to Phil's horribly distended midsection, which really ruined the flow of his physique and made a mess of his front poses - most notably the FDB and FLS. Phil's midsection looked better at the finals, helping his overall physique. But I still think Kai edged him out at the finals. IMO Phil won all the side poses and the MM because his strongest body-parts (arms and delts) are heavily emphasised in those poses, allowing him to overpower Kai. However, Kai had better legs from every angle, a better midsection, a better back and better arms in the FDB. So in a nutshell, I thought Kai was better at both prejudging and finals. Kai was robbed.

They got it pretty much dead on until 2007/2008, and even then they were both fairly close decisions that I just happened to disagree with. 12/13/14 were just blatant robbery though.


07 - Victor
08 - Jay
12/13/14 - Kai

How was 2013 "blatant robbery"?

Very reasonable. Even though I disagree with you in some parts great post!

What the f*ck else do you expect to find in a thread asking who you think should have won every year?

A similar post to what WizardofAus posted above, as well as refraining from terms such as 'robbed' seeing as there are no universal standards.

[stealth_swimmer]

You know, the guys from back in the day (competitors included) that really favor aesthetics often have Wheeler winning that show. Then again, the main one I recall going along that line of reasoning was Milos Sarcev, and he really favors aesthetics (possibly above all else).


I really favor aesthetics, but it's hard not to give Ronnie that win when he holds his own in aesthetics vs Wheeler, while easily outsizing him and totally blows him away in conditioning.

2001 - Jay Cutler

You are entitled to your opinion on that.. but I'll just leave these two pictures here from the 2001 Olympia.. Don't mind me.

lol just lol

[JanesLastResort]

The difference between ronnie and wheeler can't even be measured.

But i respect your opinion op.

[BartPimpson]

lol just lol

He doesn't talk about any other body parts. But that's fine, Flex's chest and legs were basically up to par with Ronnie's chest and legs, right?

[spamy]

2003- Jay Cutler. Am I doing it right, OP?

[deathmetal1992]

Agree with most results except these:

1972-Sergio
1981-Platz
1994-Kevin
1996-Shawn
1997-Nasser
2007-Victor
2010-Phil
2014-Kai

that is all...

[Ragana]

Jay Cutler in 2001 absolutely got ripped off:

[T3mpest]

Jay Cutler in 2001 absolutely got ripped off:

Now show him beating Ronnie in a MM pose in 2001.. dare you.. On stage standing next to Ronnie he did NOT look that impressive. Stage lighting and standing next to big Ron changes things A LOT.

That being said, I did find this decently HQ version of the 2001 Mr. O highlights from prejudging. They look a lot closer in size here than in some pics and Jay does look sharper, I can see why he won prejudging.

[porrapaulao]

2001 Jay won the prejudging and lost the finals, I thought everyone knew that

[Larfleeze]

93 Flex

Not sure if serious (srs)?

[Jeddore]

Jay Cutler in 2001 absolutely got ripped off:

if the olympia took place in the gym, this was the only photo submitted for decision, and no one else was being judged, yes.
if ronnie was stood next to him in that lighting, you'd understand

1972 ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER
1973 ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER
1974 ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER
1975 ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER - Arnold would have kept on winning. If Lou Ferrigno had stayed competing he could have won everything up to '85.
1976 FRANCO COLUMBO (1)
1977 FRANK ZANE
1978 FRANK ZANE
1979 FRANK ZANE (3)
1980 ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER (7) - If Zane had not been injured prior to the show and showed up in his '79 condition, Zane would have won.
1981 TOM PLATZ (1) - Worst decision in history. Columbo would not even be in my top 5.
1982 CASEY VIATOR (1) - By todays standards Dickerson should not have won. He has numerous flaws.
1983 SAMIR BANNOUT (1) - I still think this is one of the greatest Olympia's ever. They chose the right champion.
1984 MOHAMED MAKKAWAY (1) - personal preference. I love his physique and his posing routine is flawless.
1985 LEE HANEY
1986 LEE HANEY
1987 LEE HANEY
1988 LEE HANEY
1989 LEE HANEY
1990 LEE HANEY (6)

1992 DORIAN YATES
1993 DORIAN YATES
1994 DORIAN YATES

1997 DORIAN YATES (6)
1998 RONNIE COLEMAN
1999 RONNIE COLEMAN
2000 RONNIE COLEMAN
2001 RONNIE COLEMAN - Jay was ripped, but not even close.
2002 RONNIE COLEMAN
2003 RONNIE COLEMAN - Ronnie in 2003 is the greatest physique to ever stand on stage.
2004 RONNIE COLEMAN
2005 RONNIE COLEMAN (8) - Ronnie deserved every one of his Olympia's, he was too big, too Dominant.
2006 JAY CUTLER
2007 VICTOR MARTINEZ (1)
2008 DEXTER JACKSON (1)
2009 JAY CUTLER
2010 JAY CUTLER (3)
2011 PHIL HEATH
2012 PHIL HEATH
2013 PHIL HEATH
2014 PHIL HEATH (4) - I personally feel this is Phil's last Olympia.

[Larfleeze]

I completely forgot about Platz in 81, he really did get screwed.

[Jeddore]

padilla also looked great in 81
