How can you have 2 Olympia champions?
How is flex lewis better than all the greats of the past like Lou Ferringo, Levrone and Flex Wheeler. Doesnt seem to make sense
Also why dont the bigger bodybuilders just make the 212 class? In boxing guys sweat their butt off to make weight classes.......Yea not saying Big ramy can do it but surely someone like Dexter or Shawn rodney could.
Also why doesnt Jay cutler and Gustavo Badel join the 212 olympia contest, he will win and beat david henry who is a smaller version of phil heath. Mean he can win 8 Olympias

There's no way Shaun Rodney could make weight for the 212!

The 212 Mr.Olympia is not on the same level, it's another division, giving the opportunity for smaller guys to mark their territory without being significantly disadvantaged.
To answer your second question, that depends on their view on the matter, it could be about prestige, prize money, pride, etc.
I'd rather be a top 6 finisher in the Mr.O than the winner/top 2 in the 212 Mr.O, personally.

The 212 class was primarily created to cater to the shorter, lighter bodybuilders that couldn't hang with the open class. The 202/212 class hasn't existed that long.. I don't know how long you've been following bodybuilding, but what you're asking is pretty much to go back to how things were in the past.

well they used to have a short and tall division that would compete against each other right? has a short winner beaten a tall winner? maybe zane during his 3 peat?
short guy will always be at disadvantage on comparisons... anyone remember lou and i think it was padilla??
212 is a good chance for them to shine the criteria seems to geared towards bodybuilding look just shorter
btw saw shawn rhoden on sunday.. hes never gonna be anywhere near 212 without losing a limb
