    Default In your opinion, who is the most underrated Pro Bodybuilder of all time?

    I am going to go with Dexter "The Blade" Jackson. His continued excellence and longevity, should put him with the all-time greats. He is an Olympia champion, which already puts him into an elite category. He also placed second (arguably first) in last years Mr. Olympia. Dexter is Shawn Ray with an Olympia. A model of consistency, a true iron warrior. The ageless wonder.

    Aaron Baker was great I forgot about him.Charles Clairmont was another great from that era.Dexter was and is outstanding but he did win an Olympia so I don't know if underated applies to him.I guess it does if you thought he should have won several.

    If I say Kevin Levrone because he should have won at least 4 Mr Olympia You will say I'm a Levrone fan boy (which I am… )
    David Cua also called Donald Pump known for "making bodybuilding great again" !

    Otherwise Bob Paris should have place higher. (Even won Mr Olympia 1988 IMO, cause his physique was the closest thing of what we can picture as a greek god and perfect physique I ever saw.) So yes he should have won based on his physique, besides his routine was fantastic too.

    Underrated by whom? Dexter's been rewarded with an Olympia and multiple Arnold's. I'd say he's been overrated. Has he ever blown away a line-up at any show? He never stands out and could finish multiple spots lower at each show and no one would care.

    As for Andreas Munzer, he's the perfect example of what we don't want in bodybuilding. He abused his organs and died in the name of three 9ths, one 13th and a DNP at the Olympia.

    Thierry Pastel is the most underrated bodybuilder of all-time. 5'2". Tremendous bodyparts, especially his arms and abs, as well as all-time great aesthetics. He'd be a contender in the 212 at under 180, and if he were even just 5'7" he'd be an Olympia winner.

    Thanks for your informative post. You are right though. Pastel's height (5' 2") really hurt him.
