    If he wins outright this year then people will have something to talk about. This line up is DEEP!

    You may be right... if not deep, then hyped. And I'm trying to recall a time when everyone else is talked about EXCEPT the defending champion. Dave is already predicting Levrone will win, Chris has his guys ready to take the crown, and the Camel Crew is the talk of bodybuilding.
    The EXPECTATION is for Phil to lose, as he's been declining the last 2 years... but if he wins, he would silence a lot of critics.

    The most likely would be : Rhoden or Cedric to me. which is weird I know I should say Ramy objectively or Kevin Subjectively.
    Cedric's only ever been in one Olympia, 2013 where he placed 12th. There's zero, absolutely zero chance of him unseating Heath as Mr. Olympia on his second go.

    Fuel for his prep? I mean wouldn't most people take it as a challenge or disrespect?

    If he does, he would be "The One" .
    David Cua also called Donald Pump known for "making bodybuilding great again" !

    Phil Heath is Mr. Olympia? I thought Kai Greene was Mr. Olympia.

    Probably more people in the world think Kai Greene is Mr. Olympia than the ones who know Phil Heath is. And that basically tells you everything you need to know about where Phil Heath ranks all time. It also says a lot for Kai Greene's physique, work ethic, posing and what it means to have a connection with fans.

    Phil is the champ and there is nothing to take that away from him. With that said, he is only competing with himself. For the last few years the competition just isn't there. At the gym I go too they have old Olympia and early 2000s competitions on their screens throught the gym. In those old vids anyone in the top 10 were worthy of winning the show.

    That's either inspiring or inferiority-complex inducing. Agree, though--the lineups back then were incredible. & you can time shift that back to the 70s & 80s as well.

    better then franco, zane, dickerson, and samir

    not as good as haney, yates or Ronnie

    better then Dexter, and really close but would have to say better then Cutler that one is very very close and im not a heath fan. but i would say he gets the edge over jay
    Samir crushed Heath on posing and beats him on symmetry/aesthetics, too.

    Cutler gets my vote in any contest with Heath as he destroys him on shoulder width.

    Plus what answer does Heath have for this shot?

    So if all the Mr. Olympia winners were onstage at the same time in their top shape, who would win the Mr. Olympia?

    No doubt in my mind.
