Your Fave Mr. O?

[hifrommike65]

So many RX stalwarts have compared recent Mr. Olympia winners unfavorably to earlier Mr. Olympia winners that I wanted a thread that focuses on the one with THE LOOK YOU LIKED THE BEST. I will start.

Lee Haney. The measure I judge all bodybuilders(The male ones).

Ronnie Coleman circa 2000 was always one of my favorites.

Haney and Ronnie are the best imo. I prefer Haney in terms od shape but also because I think Coleman got too big and blew out his body. Big stomachs and the insulin look are not that appealing to me. Haney maintained that tiny waist.

If I wanted to look like any of the Mr O's it would be Arnold.

I prefer the looks of Olympia runner-ups and second runner-ups that should have won but didn't. My favorites are:

1966: Harold Poole
1978: Robby Robinson
1980: Mike Mentzer & Boyer Coe
1982: Casey Viator
1994/1996: Shawn Ray
1997: Nasser El Sonbaty
2001: Jay Cutler
2007: Victor Martinez
2013/2014: Kai Greene

Interesting list. Do you mean 1980 should have had co-winners?

There were at least 3 guys who could have finished ahead of Arnold that year.

Frank Zane (who had just won the Mr. O three times running) said when he was onstage doing comparisons, the judges never looked at him. They looked at Arnold & only at him, according to Zane.
