The best who never were

[Ironkop]

Over the years there have been a lot of bodybuilders who came so close but never took a Huge title.

When we look back we talk about Arnold and Zane; Haney and Olivia. More recently Yates, Coleman and Flex wheeler.

It is funny to me how Cutler almost never gets called to the table when comparing some of the greats. And he even won several Olympia's.

My predictions is Dexter will be unheard of in 15 years even though he has probably won the most non-olympia shows ever (not sure if this is true but he has been at it forever never taking an olympia but cleaning up every other show)

Who are some of your favorite guys who might have faded out of history and our conversations but deserve a mention.

I dont know how to post pics but some of my favorites were/are
-Gunter
-Marcus Ruhl
-Lee Priest (still some of the best arms ever)
-Dennis James **broken link removed**

Flex Wheeler won the Arnold but never the O. He is a prime example (a long with Kevin Levrone) as the best to never win the O.

Dexter has won the O and is one of the all time greats. In 15 years guys will probably be saying he should have won more. I think guys will be talking about him more than Heath in the future. He's definitely not gonna be forgotten about.

 

[Bio]

Ronnie Coleman has the most non-Olympia wins and is tied with Lee Haney for Most Olympia wins!

Lee was and still is absolute God. What genetics made for this sport. Never seen him with a distension, great lines, mass , always on point conditioning wise. Just an absolute gifted bb

Lee at universe recently at 43 I think ? I could be little off

 

[devenidas]

Crazy conditioning at 40 plus !
Lee loves the old Sergio pose blonde myth. No 1 bb to come from Australia. I doubt anyone will take his place in future. Once in a century wonder and still taking of the business.
