    I think saying Phil deserved to win and in the same breath saying his distended stomach is not that bad a distraction misses the point. Everybody could see on the live video feed that Phil's gut looked very bad. The sillouette alone was horrible.

    Phil might have deserved to win but that does not mean people like his body. He's winning because he has mediocre competition. That is what is most annoying about Phil. He equaled Arnold's record but everybody knows he is no Arnold.

    I think there is a huge disconnect between the fans who attend the Olympia and the fans who watch from home. I was at the show, 3rd row and I did not think Phil's stomach was that bad. The hernia was what looked horrible to me. Everyone on that stage has some stomach detention but as Dave said if they control it during poses that is when they are judged. Phil was FAR AND AWAY the winner. Ramy was fighting for 2nd more than he was for 1st, luimarco is delusional if he thinks ramy should have the win.
    On another note, I am tired of the comparison to Arnold. Apples and oranges. Phil has 7, to call his competition mediocre is an insult to the other competitors who put their all into prep.

    Its an insult to see Phil in any way comparable to Arnold as a bodybuilder.

    Like it or not this is a weak era and Phil has no real competition.

    Arnold had .....Sergio and Serge Nubret

    Zane .............had Robbie Robinson, Danny Paddila, Boyer Coe, Al Beckles, Tom Platz etc etc

    Haney ...........didn't have the greatest competition but he was majestic in every way possible

    Dorian...........My typing fingers would get sore if I had to type all the great 1990's competition

    Ronnie...........Had Jay keeping him honest as well as Nasser.

    Jay................had to beat Ronnie and he did, an incredible achievement afters so many 2nd's

    Phil................he beats old men, guys who can't get in condition and the guy who ruined his chances of ever winning the Mr.O because he couldn't give up his passion for grapefruit.

    That Phil, a bodybuilder who has a poorer physique than the champions that came before him wins 7 Olympias is the basis for my dislike. His body is never worth 7 Sandows. That he has 7 is an insult to the great champions.

    As for not seeing his distended stomach is was very clear on the live feed, his silhouette from the front looked s't.

    As for peoples dislike for Phil's personality I couldn't care less I never listen to him as he is not an interesting athlete.
