I'd say Flex. He had the classic line from head to toe. Very pleasing on the eyes.

I'd be inclined to say Flex or Levrone.

it depends on which year you're talking about. or are you talking about just in general?

In comparison with each other? That isn't really answerable because they all didn't peak at their all time best at 1 show. They were each at their best when they got 2nd in 93-95, each individual year.
Who deserves the Olympia most is really who got beaten less significantly by Dorian/Ronnie technically. Id say Ray in 96, Dorian was flat and Shawn looked really full in comparisons.

I knew i would be in the minority voting for Shawn..He 100% deserves a win..perfection. Wheeler was ok but something just didnt go over well with me for him..and Levrone..lack of back,legs "the usual arguments"..Ray was always just beautiful with his conditioning and lines and posing..

Flex had the best physique (1993 especially) but the only one IMO who deserved an actual Olympia they competed in was Shawn

My vote went to Ray, he was unlucky to have had to compete agains WHITE GOAT - Dorian Yates, if Yates had not been so good for 6 years then Ray would have been Mr O.

Pretty much this. Though Levrone is one of my favourites so I'm a bit partial to picking him.Originally Posted by Penile_Dementia

All of them were greats. I voted Levrone but the fact that they all went against Dorian and Ronnie simply gave them no chance to win.

Flex, i think he could be a serious contender today if competed in this era instead.

When you think about it:
2nd place
92:Levrone
93:Wheeler
94:Ray
95:Levrone
96:Ray
97:Nasser
98:Wheeler
99:Wheeler
00:Levrone
01:Cutler
02:Levrone
With the exception of Cutler, who wasn't a 90s bodybuilder, and Nasser, those three guys passed around 2nd place like a hot potato for 10 years.Frustrated at bodybuilding? Read my rant:

It's a shame none of them have an O title to their name. Amazing physiques and definitely among the best in their era.

They were just competing in the toughest era. Only room for one winner.

I would say Levrone deserved it the most, he was 2nd 4 times, and in my opinion should've won the Oly in 95 and 02. Shawn Ray is 2nd since he has a very aesthetic and complete physique, but nothing really stands out. Flex had an amazing physique at the 93 Arnold, eventually he became an oil rig. Noone that resorts to that much oil deserves the Olympia.

What do you base Kevin winning in 02 on?, 95 i could see Kevin being a threat atleast but imo he was killed by Ronnie in 02.Originally Posted by the5thhorseman

Shawn Ray all the way. He had less second places than Kevin or Flex, but he also had a legit claim to win the years he was second. Dorian and Ronnie beat Kevin and Flex fairly every year. Even in the OP's post you'll notice he put pics of Shawn beating Dorian and Flex and Kevins pics are standing alone. They never deserved to win, Shawn did.
Since the majority voted Flex, what year did flex win the Olympia. I dare anyone to show pics of a year where Flex was better than Ronnie or Dorian.

Shawn Ray never deserved to beat Dorian. Ever. Get your eyes checked.
