Tony is much taller and thus has a much larger frame. I agree that when you place someone like that against much shorter people they have an advantage. Arnold enjoyed that throughout his career. As to why Tony doesn't do better, it is hard to say. I would have to see it live.

Freeman is a beast. I can't believe he didn't take the Phoenix.

i think the problem with toney is his lack of attention to detail...like someone stated about, the lack of posing oil. he is one of my favorite body builders tho and i really thought he should have done better in this show. the arnold this year was just chock full of bullshit calls.

People... HEIGHT does make a difference...
You cant compare a 6.1 man to 5.8.... Even a 6.2 fat guy will dwarf a 5.8 bodybuilder.... But he look like shit...
Pound for pound someone with more height will always look Larger...

body building is the only sport i can think of at the moment where being tall is a HUGE disadvantage.. ofcourse hes heavier.. he has to be to fill out the frame.. bigger is NOT better though and freeman tends to have very inconsistent showings imo

Being tall SUCKS in bbing. It takes forever to fill out similar to the little guys. And our muscle bellies are stretched over longer bone spans. You have to be a genetic freak like Ferrigno to pull it off. Hell, I weigh 295 in my avi at 6'-4" and I'm just starting to look big.....

If it was that simple every contest would be between Toney Freeman and Quincy Taylor. Not saying I disagree with you though...just sayin.
